While the names of several celebrities joining the upcoming season of

reality show Bigg Boss

is doing the rounds,

actor Gavie Chahal

of

Ek Tha Tiger

and Tiger Zinda Hai fame has opted out of the show. The actor who has shared screen space with Salman Khan, turned down the offer of being a part of Bigg Boss 14. The reason for his exit from Bigg Boss 14 is that the actor has to undergo an eye operation. Gavie, who is currently in his homestate Punjab confirms the news and tells us, “Yes, it’s true that as of now, I won’t be able do Bigg Boss 14. I underwent a major eye operation three days ago. I had a blurry vision and the doctors in Punjab asked me to go for the surgery as soon as possible.”

Gavie underwent a surgery for retinal detachment in his right eye. “I was in touch with the team of Bigg Boss and I was told that they might begin shooting for the show from September onwards. However, doctors have asked me to rest for three weeks. So in such a situation, it is not possible for me to be a part of the show. Though, it was my father’s dream to see me in Bigg Boss. I lost him two years ago. I was really looking forward to be a part of it.” he says. However, Gavie is still hoping to enter the show as a wild card contestant after he recovers fully.
