After a lot of back-and-forth and speculation over Bigg Boss moving to another channel, the reality show is back on its original platform. We have learnt that it will launch on August 24 and conclude in the first week of December. Now, there is an exclusive update on the probable list of participants this season. Sources tell us that the makers have approached Hunar Hali to participate in the show. The actress is currently seen as Kaikeyi in Veer Hanuman – Bolo Bajrang Bali Ki Jai.

The show marks her second foray into the mythological genre after Paramavatar Shri Krishna, in which she essayed the role of Rukmini five years ago.

While Hunar remained unavailable for comment just days before joining Veer Hanuman - Bolo Bajrang Bali Ki Jai, a source closely associated with the production shared, “We finalised Hunar for the character because she fits the part perfectly. Just like the other mythological characters in the show, we’ve put in a lot of effort into crafting Kaikeyi’s role. It will be portrayed with great depth and nuance. Hunar has already begun shooting in Umbergaon.”

She also underwent a dental procedure to align with the appearance of the character. The source revealed, “She had to get a procedure done to correct her buck tooth for the role of Kaikeyi. In mythological shows , it is crucial for actors to look a certain way. Since the shoot was scheduled to begin immediately, she opted for composite bonding as a temporary fix. It was a two-hour procedure to get her ready for the part.”

The actress later confirmed the news of her dental procedure. Hunar has been part of shows like Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Grihasti, 12/24 Karol Bagh, Mukti Bandhan, Ek Boond Ishq, Dahleez, Thapki Pyar Ki, Patiala Babes, Tera Mera Saath Rahe and Deewani.
