In a moment that’s peak Kunal Kamra, the outspoken comedian has hilariously declined an invitation to join Bigg Boss, the long-running reality TV show hosted by Salman Khan. Kamra took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday to share a now-viral screenshot of a chat with a casting director who had reached out about his potential participation in the next season.
Reality TV? Not Kamra’s Reality
Kamra’s sharp refusal seems in line with his public persona—irreverent, politically bold, and never one to play it safe for PR points. Whether the offer was for Bigg Boss OTT or the upcoming Bigg Boss 19 remains unclear, but one thing’s for sure: he’s not even mildly tempted.
The comedian has been at the center of public debate multiple times, most recently after making remarks about Maharashtra’s Deputy CM Eknath Shinde during a live show. That controversy reportedly led to a backlash online and a row with ticketing platform BookMyShow. In response, Kamra called out the platform and claimed facts were “misrepresented.”
A Pattern of Speaking His Mind
This isn’t the first time Kamra has opted out of mainstream platforms, especially those that come with heavily curated narratives. Known for his brutally honest political commentary, Kamra has built a niche outside the commercial entertainment bubble—one where authenticity trumps visibility.
While Bigg Boss is infamous for its drama, fights, and fame-fueled chaos, it seems Kamra has no interest in trading his independence for TRP-driven antics.
Internet Reacts: Classic Kamra Move
Social media, of course, had a field day. Reactions ranged from “respect for staying true” to memes featuring Salman Khan in Radhe reacting to Kamra’s snub. Some even joked that Kamra just gave Bigg Boss its first viral moment of the season—without even entering the house.
TL;DR
Kunal Kamra + Bigg Boss = Not Happening.
He’d rather check into a mental hospital—and made sure everyone knew it, in full Kunal Kamra fashion.
