Actor Shoaib Ibrahim, who is married to Bigg Boss 12 contestant Dipika Kakar, has revealed that he was approached to enter the Bigg Boss house for the 18th edition but he refused. The actor feels the reality show has become more about content rather than personality. 

Why he turned down Bigg Boss 18?

The actor spoke about his decision to not enter the house during a Q&A session on his Instagram handle. One of his followers asked him about the reason behind turning down the offer for Bigg Boss 18 this year.

Shoaib responded, “Ho sakta hai ke main galat hoon, par mujhe personally aisa lagta hai ke Bigg Boss jo hai wo ab personality ka show nahi raha hai, wo ab content ka show bann gaya hai. (I’m not convinced yet to join. Maybe, I might be wrong, but personally, I feel Bigg Boss is no longer a personality show; it has become more content-driven)".

The actor added, “Pehle personality ka show hua karta tha. Ab wo aisa hai jitna aap content doge utna jyda aap dikhoge, ya aapko dikhaya jayega ya aap aage tak jaoge, toh is wajah se. Par phir bhi, jaisa ke maine Kaha ke is bar main apne aapko convince nai kar paaya. But agar aage kar liya toh dekhenge. Abhi toh aisa lagta hai ke ya toh kisi ko bahut zyada favour kar rahe hote hai ya bahut zayda humiliate kar rahe hote hai. Aisa lagta hai ke yaar personality nahi dikh rahi, content jyda hogaya hai. (Earlier, it used to be a show focused on personality. Now, the more content you provide, the more visibility you get, and that’s how one progresses in the game. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not convinced yet to join. Maybe someday, if I feel differently, I might consider it, but for now, this is my reason. It feels like some contestants are heavily favoured or humiliated. There’s always something going on, but it no longer showcases personalities. It’s more content-based. Maybe I’m wrong)”.
