Anupamaa fame transgender actress Shubhi Sharma reacts to reports of joining Bigg Boss 19
With Bigg Boss 19 all set to premiere on August 24, the buzz around its new lineup of contestants is gaining momentum. As always, Salman Khan returns as the host of the much-awaited reality show, which promises fresh twists, bold personalities, and explosive drama. Among the names doing rounds this season is Shubhi Sharma , a transgender actress known for her roles in popular television shows such as Anupamaa, Dhruv Tara, Saath Nibhaana Saathiya, Chaand Jalne Laga, Mann Kee Awaaz Pratigya 2, Saavi Ki Savaari, and Nath. When asked about her participation, Shubhi responded, "Yes, I'm in touch with the team. But I won't be able to comment over the matter." If she confirms her presence, Shubhi would be the second transgender contestant on Bigg Boss, after Laxmi Narayan Tripathi's groundbreaking appearance in season 5, which was hailed for its representation. Shubhi's work on Anupamaa not only gave her national recognition but also led to a strong bond with actress Rupali Ganguly, the face of the show. Recently, Shubhi celebrated her birthday with Rupali in attendance—something she described as deeply special. 'Her presence meant the world to me,' Shubhi shared, appreciating Rupali's genuine friendship and support. The rumoured contestant list also includes names like Gurucharan Singh, Gaurav Khanna, Mr Faisu, Apoorva Mukhija, and Hunar Gandhi, adding to the growing curiosity. Whether or not she enters the Bigg Boss house, Shubhi Sharma's name in the mix is already being seen as a powerful step toward visibility, inclusivity, and breaking barriers on national television.
