Former Bigg Boss contestant Vikas Gupta will reportedly enter the Bigg Boss house as the latest wild card, with the episode likely to air on 4 December. He recently posted a cryptic response to a tweet about his entry on the show that read, “Really? Is this true?????”
Photos of him on set have been doing the rounds on social media. He can be seen sitting in a chair in a grey kurta-pyjama with a phone by his side.
According to media reports, he may remain in the house until Devoleena Bhattacharjee returns. The TV actor recently took a break from the show after being advised complete bed rest following back trouble.
Vikas and housemate Shilpa Shinde were popular with the audience on season 11 of the reality TV show. His savvy moves within the house earned him the nickname of Mastermind. After Bigg Boss, he went on to host two seasons of MTV reality show Ace of Space. Last season, Vikas and Shilpa made a special visit to the Bigg Boss house for their Diwali episode.
While only six of the original contestants were allowed to remain in the house post the mid-season finale, Bigg Boss has been seeing several wild card contestants being introduced. Most recently, Shefali Bagga and actor Arhaan Khan re-entered the house, while Madhurima Tuli entered as a wild card shortly after her ex Vishal Aditya Singh.
