Over the years, Munmun Dutta has been approached multiple times to participate in Bigg Boss but has consistently declined.
The anticipation for Bigg Boss 19 is building, and one of the earliest celebrity names making waves is that of popular actress Munmun Dutta, popularly known for playing the role of Babita Ji in the show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah. According to sources close to the production, Munmun has once again been approached by the show's creators, as revealed by The Times of India.

However, last month, a report by Pinkvilla claimed that Bigg Boss 19 is definitely happening and will be produced by Endemol Shine India. Reportedly, Salman Khan has also been confirmed as the host for another season, and he will begin shooting the first promo in June end. The show is likely to go on air in July.

EXCLUSIVE: Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi fame Narayani Shastri to play antagonist in Noyontara, spills beans on Bigg Boss 19
Narayani Shastri, who has been a part of numerous shows including Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, will soon be seen in an upcoming supernatural thriller drama, Noyontara. Noyontara promises to mesmerize audiences like never before. Narayani will be seen playing dual roles in the show, one of a protagonist and one antagonist. In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, the actress spoke in detail about her upcoming show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi revamp and even disclosed being approached for Bigg Boss. Excerpts from the interview are below: 1- You've been in the industry for over 25 years. Which show was the turning point in your career? For me, Piya Ka Ghar was a big turning point because it gave me strong visibility. But many people feel it was Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi that made me truly popular. That show was loved by everyone and became a huge success. Both shows helped me grow as an actor. But now my all focus is on Noyontara, my upcoming show. 2- Ektaa Kapoor is bringing back Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Since you were part of the original, how do you feel about this? It was one of the biggest shows ever on Indian TV. It changed everything when it came out. If it's coming back, I'm sure Ekta (Ektaa Kapoor) will make it just as grand and interesting. She's a genius when it comes to storytelling. I feel proud to have been part of the original and excited to see the new version. 3- There's a buzz around Bigg Boss 19. Have you been approached for it? Would you say yes? Yes, I have been approached before. But I have mixed feelings. I'm not sure if I would be comfortable in the Bigg Boss house. It's a different kind of show — very intense. As for me, I'll decide if the time and situation are right. 4- In Noyontara, you are seen playing two characters (twins) - the male protagonist's mother and the antagonist. What is easier for you to play and why? Playing both roles has been smooth for me, but I enjoy the wicked one more. She's unpredictable and exciting. It's fun to play someone who's so different from how we are in real life. The mother is more emotional and loving, but the wicked character lets me try new expressions, strong reactions, and even dark humor. That's always more fun for an actor. Her anger and how she plans things to hurt others are the most negative parts. She reacts very strongly, and sometimes even cruelly. It's tough to show such strong emotions in a way that feels real. But as an actor, I enjoy taking on these challenges. It lets me show a side that is dramatic and intense. 5- What should audiences look out for when they watch the show? Viewers should watch Noyantara for pure entertainment. There's drama, mystery, emotion, and lots of twists. It's full of surprises and powerful scenes. You won't get bored. It's made to keep you hooked and give you something exciting every day. Speaking about Noyontara, the supernatural show will premiere on June 9 at 8:30 PM.

Exclusive - Dipshikkha Nagppal Urges Action on World Environment Day: Why can't we just keep our cities clean?
Actress Dipshikkha Nagppal is known for her strong on-screen presence, but on World Environment Day , her voice takes on a different role — one of concern, urgency, and hope. Reflecting on the changing climate, Dipshikkha shares how deeply disconnected today's seasons feel compared to her childhood. 'Yes, it's so strange. So many years have passed since those childhood monsoons in May, July, and August. Now, everything has gone completely haywire. We can't plan anything anymore — the weather is just so unpredictable,' she says. Her concern isn't just about the weather; it's about the larger environment we are building — or destroying — around us. 'We're living in a concrete jungle. And while I don't mind development — cities growing, buildings becoming beautiful — at the same time, if we don't act responsibly, we'll be finished.' Dipshikkha questions why basic civic sense still seems so out of reach for many. 'Why can't our cities be clean? Why can't we follow basic manners — like disposing of garbage properly, using dustbins, saving water? These are such basic things. We've been talking about them for years.' Her message is clear and inclusive. 'As individuals, as citizens, we need to understand and take responsibility. Whether it's celebrities, politicians, or just us standing at our own gates — we all need to do our bit.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo With sincerity and urgency, she calls for collective responsibility. 'Please, we can do this. Everyone should do this. I think it's high time people truly understood the seriousness of this. Otherwise, we'll be left with nothing — no greenery, no clean air, nothing.' Dipshikkha ends with a heartfelt plea that goes beyond a headline: 'You know what I'm trying to say. Put it into your own words if you must. But just make sure this message gets through. Please, let's take action.' In a world flooded with voices, hers is one rooted in reality — a reminder that the smallest actions, when taken together, can lead to real change.
