Mouni Roy is the most recent big name to be talked about in Bigg Boss 20 and we suspect that the actress has been approached by the show producers with a huge offer as to how to work with them in the next season. Should this happen she will add a lot of star power to Salman Khan's popular reality television show and can make the season to her show really exciting for viewers.
Casting celebrities from different backgrounds around Bigg Boss has become a signature of Bigg Boss. The show's format is entertainment, competition, interpersonal relationships and unexpected situations so it is a big deal to choose contestants even before a season starts. So a TV/movie personality such as Mouni Roy would be a key addition to the expected contestants.
Mouni Roy has become one of the most famous faces on Indian television and entertainment. She first became popular via television before moving on to films and other entertainment. Her involvement in popular television shows fueled her fan base and her move to the big screen further increased it.
She is known for being part of the supernatural drama Naagin, which was one of the big steps in her television career. The character in the show made her a household name and made her one of the most popular actresses on Indian television. Since then, she has continued in that area of television, movies, music videos and other entertainment.
That her likely entry into Bigg Boss 20 is a big deal, because fans are familiar with her personality and career. Reality TV, however, is very different than scripted entertainment. Contestants have to live together in order to do tasks, nominations and eliminations and their interactions are very much a part of the show narrative.
Mouni's alleged dialogues with the makers also raise questions about the money involved in celebrity participation. The makers are apparently offering a hefty amount to bring her on board. But unless an official announcement is made by the actress, the production team or the broadcaster, the exact figure and final terms of any potential deal should be treated as unconfirmed.
Mouni joining the show is a real possibility and shows reality TV producers’ strategy. With established celebrities there, you have the established fan base, and also different kinds of people from different professions in the house. TV actors, film actors, social media personalities and other public figures could make the programme attractive to a broader audience.
Salman Khan’s association with Bigg Boss is also the main reason for the show’s popularity. His hosting has become very much associated with Bigg Boss (his weekends are almost always the most talked about part of the season). Salman Khan’s celebrity status and the unpredictable nature of the contestants have kept Bigg Boss very popular in the Indian public.
If Mouni Roy does enter the show, viewers will get to see a different side of the actress away from her scripted television and film roles. Her public image is largely constructed on her professional work, fashion and media appearances, and Bigg Boss would provide an atmosphere where contestants’ everyday personalities would be part of the programme.
At the same time, being a reality show can be both a good thing and a bad thing for celebrities. The intense public scrutiny of Bigg Boss means that conversations, disagreements and personal moments can be very rapidly circulated on social media. Contestants can get more exposure from the show but they can also attract a lot of opinions depending on their personalities and decisions.
For the makers, a name like Mouni Roy could lead to fans showing up in the house even before the season is ready. And the speculation about potential contestants is very popular online and fans talk about the possible combinations of people and how people might interact in the house.
The celebrity participation reports often change before an official contestant list is announced. Discussions, negotiations and approaches do not necessarily mean that a celebrity has signed a final contract. So Mouni Roy's participation should be considered a possibility until an official confirmation is released.
But the conversations so far have already resulted in a lot of curiosity among Bigg Boss fans. Her TV and film experience and fan base make her very likely to fit into the Bigg Boss format. She could be one of the talking points of Bigg Boss 20 if she does accept the offer.
As teams go about writing up the new contestants, more names will emerge. For now, Mouni Roy is one of the celebrity names still being considered and the reported hefty offer adds an extra layer of intrigue to the speculations.
When she will move into the Bigg Boss house will depend on the outcome of discussions. Fans will have to wait for a firm announcement from either the actress or the show makers. But if the deal does happen, Mouni Roy’s entry will give Bigg Boss 20 a little more glamour, TV nostalgia and star power.
