Gaurav Taneja Claims Bigg Boss Makers Pay Pap Pages To Use Celeb Names For Hype: ‘Logon Ne…'
Last Updated: Gaurav Taneja denies joining Bigg Boss 19, claims makers pay paparazzi pages to use celeb names and create hype. Says he was offered earlier but declined. With the Bigg Boss first look unveiled, the makers are keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. While the official list of contestants has been kept under wraps, Gaurav Taneja, aka Flying Beast—who recently made headlines due to his personal life—is being speculated as one of the top names to join the show. Now, Gaurav has reacted to the rumours. In his recent vlog, the YouTuber addressed whether he is actually joining the Salman Khan-hosted controversial reality show. He clarified, saying, 'Arre bhai, nahi jaa raha main Bigg Boss 19. Logon ne pareshan kar diya hai. Koi PR page hai, usne laga di meri photo ke main jaa raha hoon, aur bhi teen chaar log hain." (I am not going to Bigg Boss 19. People have been troubling me. A PR page posted my photo saying I'm going, along with three or four other people.) Gaurav Taneja further revealed that while he was offered Bigg Boss in the past—before the COVID era—he had other commitments and turned it down. However, that doesn't mean he would never do the show. 'Social media pe aap kabhi kuch danke ki chot pe nahi bol sakte ke 'main kabhi Bigg Boss jaunga hi nahi'. Toh kuch aisa hai nahi, par haan, main iss baar toh nahi jaa raha." (You can never say with certainty on social media that you'll never do Bigg Boss. It's not like that, but yes, I'm not going this time.) In the vlog, the YouTuber also claimed that the Bigg Boss 19 team uses a marketing strategy involving deals with paparazzi pages, who post about potential contestants to build audience curiosity. Meanwhile, the makers have yet to respond to these accusations. What is the theme for Bigg Boss 19? According to a report by The Indian Express, the initial buzz around BB 19 suggested a possible 'rewind' theme. However, it has now been confirmed that artificial intelligence will be a defining element of the upcoming season. Along with AI integration, the show is set to undergo multiple format changes, including a major twist in the elimination process—this time, housemates will reportedly hold the power to decide who gets evicted. A source told The Indian Express that contestants will take centre stage this season, playing a dominant role in critical decisions—from evictions and rationing to task selection. With this new structure, the show is expected to shift from 'Bigg Boss chahte hain" to 'Bigg Boss janna chahte hain," marking a fundamental change in tone and power dynamics inside the house.
