Mike Tyson to be locked inside the Bigg Boss 19 house?

In keeping with their tradition of featuring international celebrities, the makers of Bigg Boss are set to raise the bar for the upcoming 19th season. According to a well-placed source associated with the reality show, one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, Mike Tyson, is currently in talks to enter the Bigg Boss house as a guest.

The source reveals, “We are in advanced discussions with Tyson and his team, and are currently negotiating his fee. If the deal works out, he is expected to enter the house in October for a week or 10 days. The dates, however, are yet to be finalised.”

Explaining the reason behind bringing in an international star, the source adds, “We haven’t had an international contestants in a while, and they played a key role in boosting the show’s appeal during its earlier seasons.”

The winner of the last season of Bigg Boss was Karan Veer Mehra, who also won Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi the same year. In a chat with us after winning Bigg Boss 18, he had shared, “It feels like I’ve suddenly arrived after 20 years in the industry, something I didn’t feel earlier. I’m humbled and aware that I must work harder to meet everyone’s expectations. However, I haven’t rushed into taking up random opportunities. I know what I’m looking for — rediscovering the actor in me. For 20 years, I was here and there, and now, suddenly, I’m in demand. But I know this phase is transient. I’m aware that in a few months, a new Bigg Boss season will air, and people’s attention will shift. So, I’m focused on my goals.”
