Is this it?
Reality TV show Bigg Boss has long been known as one that serves not only the winner, but also the participants, as it opens the doors to the industry. In the past few years, however, viewers have got a glimpse into the casting process, and have seen first-hand, how the show can serve as a golden ticket to housemates. After Tejasswi Prakash was directly cast from the show for Ekta Kapoor’s Naagin 6, this year, Kapoor cast Nimrit Kaur for the next edition of Love Sex Aur Dhoka. However, it is Salman Khan’s interest in roping in Priyanka Chaudhary that has piqued curiosity. In a recent episode, Khan, who had previously expressed his desire to work with her, alluded that he had an opportunity for her.
