JASLEEN MATHARU
She shot to fame posing as Bhajan singer Anup Jalota’s partner on “Bigg Boss 12”, but has not managed to do much since then, except appear in the soap series “Vish”. She will hope her tenure on this show is slightly fruitful than all of what she has done in the past in order to court the limelight.

HEENA PANCHAL
Often called Malaika Arora of the South for her smoldering appearances in southern films, where she bears an uncanny physical resemblance to the Bollywood dance queen, she has been a contestant on “Bigg Boss Marathi” season 2.
ANKITA SRIVSTAVA
Despite a glamorous outing in Anees Bazmee’s 2015 multistarrer “Welcome Back”, Ankita’s Bollywood career is yet to take off. Since then, she has featured in the TV show “Dastaan-e-Mohabbat Salim Anarkali”, where she essayed the courtesan Firdaus.

ROHANPREET SINGH

MAYUR VERMA
Mayur is a familiar face on the small screen, having appeared on a host of shows such as “Bade Acche Lagte Hain”, “Swaragini” and “Kya Huaa Tera Vaada”, but he is yet to find all-round stardom as an actor.
SANJJANA GALRANI

She made her debut with the Tamil-Telugu bilingual “Oru Kadhal Seiveer”, and has also acted in Kannada films over the years, besides being a contestant on “Bigg Boss Kannada 1”.
NAVDEESH KAUR
Not much was known about her till the other day except that she works as a marketer. However, ever since Colors ran her promo for the show, social media was quick to get on with trolling her, calling her “Shehnaaz ki sasti copy (a cheap copy of Shehnaaz)”.
MAYANK AGNIHOTRI
The 41-year-old has been a divorcee for five years now, and introduces himself as a doctor. He looks serious about winning over Shehnaaz for marriage, because he thinks she is sweet and also because he finds courageous the fact that she fought with her family.
