Among this list, the inclusion of Shilpa Shirodkar and Shanti Priya has certainly raised eyebrows. Shilpa, known for her successful run in 90s Bollywood hits like Hum (1991) and Aankhen (1993), is making a rare return to the limelight. On the other hand, Shanti Priya, famous for being Akshay Kumar’s first leading lady in Saugandh (1991), is another nostalgic addition to the reality show.

Isha Koppikar Opts Out

While many are excited about the confirmed participants, one notable name missing from the final list is Isha Koppikar. Reports suggest that the actress was in talks with the makers but decided to opt out of the show. Indeed, this news left many fans disappointed.

More Names in the Pipeline?

It doesn’t stop here—other celebrities are still in discussions with the show’s producers. Popular television stars like Shehzada Dhami, Rithvik Dhanjani, Karan Veer Mehra, Zaan Khan, and Karam Rajpal are reportedly in the final stages of negotiations. Additionally, Bollywood veteran Padmini Kolhapure has also been approached for the upcoming season.
