Shagun Sharma Declines Bigg Boss 20 Wildcard Entry Citing Mental ReadinessPreviousNext

Shagun Sharma, known for Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, has stated she will not join Bigg Boss 20 as a wildcard contestant due to feeling mentally unprepared for the show's pressures. She described herself as being in a vulnerable state and concerned about handling confrontations inside the house. However, she left open the possibility of participating in a future season if she feels more mature and mentally strong to face the challenges and gain the fame the show offers.
