Shivin Narang has decided to opt out of Bigg Boss 13 after much contemplation. The actor who is known for his work in Suvreen Guggal – Topper of The Year and Ek Veer Ki Ardaas…Veera, will now romance Jennifer Winget in Beyhadh 2, the second installment of the popular psychological thriller.
The actor has confirmed rejecting BB 13, saying he couldn’t do the show because he wasn’t emotionally prepared for it and his father’s medical condition.
“Yes, talks were on. However, after much contemplation, I realised that I wasn’t mentally and emotionally prepared to handle a show like that at this point. Also, I didn’t want to be away from my family without any communication given my father’s medical condition,” he told The Times of India.
Shivin Narang is now excited about working in Beyhadh and working with ace actress Jennifer Winget. He says that he has ample scope on the show and doesn’t fear gettng overshadowed by Jennifer.
“She is a fine actress and I am happy about sharing screen space with her. When I heard the story, it never felt even for a second that the narrative is driven by one character. It’s also about how well an actor performs to establish himself. I don’t do shows in which heroes don’t contribute to the drama,” said Shivin.
Shivin might have rejected Bigg Boss 13, but the season this time will be ruled by small screen stars. Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Sidharth Shukla have been confirmed already as first two contestants of the show. Uttaran star Rashami Desai will enter the show along with her beau Arhaan Khan and would even tie the knot with him, as per reports. Daljiet Kaur and Vivian Dsena have quit their respective shows Guddan Tumse Na Ho Paayega and Shakti Ek Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki for Bigg Boss 13.
Bigg Boss 13 is all set to premiere on September 29 at 9 PM on Colors TV and would be hosted by Salman Khan. The show will air Mon-Fri at 10:30 PM and Sat-Sun at 9 PM.
