Reality show Bigg Boss 14 is set to have a grand premiere on October 3. Host Salman Khan has already introduced Jaan Kumar Sanu as the first contestant in the show. And now, indianexpress.com has been informed that television actor Shardul Pandit will also enter the house.

The source shared that while Shardul Pandit has already been sent for self quarantine, following the protocols, there is uncertainty of when he would be introduced in the show.

“As of now 11 new celebrities have been confirmed to enter the show. If not on the premiere night, the actor might step in after a few days. The team is still working on the same, and should take a call shortly,” added the source.

Before becoming an actor Shardul Pandit was a successful radio jockey. He even holds a Limca Book of Records for performing non-stop for 19 hours on the radio. Having participated in India’s Best Cinestars Ki Khoj, Pandit ventured into acting with popular TV show Bandini. He then moved to Dubai to continue his job as an RJ, only to shift back to Mumbai in 2015. He was last seen in Kuldeepak and Sidhi Vinayak. Recently, the actor had even opened up about his fight against mental illness on social media, and also shared how with no earnings during the lockdown, he had to move back to his hometown to survive.
