The new season of 'Bigg Boss' is all set to premiere on October 15. Amongst the celebrities approached to be a contestant on 'Bigg Boss 17' includes actor and young fashion icon Sahil Salathia. However, the actor said no to be a part of the Salman Khan hosted reality show and consciously decided to refuse the offer. 

Explaining the reason behind his decision, Sahil informs, "I think Bigg Boss is a great platform, it's so entertaining. But I, personally, as an actor enjoy playing different characters on screen. I don't think I am ready to put myself out there in reality television but it's really kind of them to approach me. I feel privileged but I had to gracefully deny being a part of it." Interestingly, it's learnt that the makers of the show have approached Sahil for the fourth consecutive season. 

Meanwhile, professionally it has been a good year for Sahil as he was seen in the Amazon Prime Video’s first horror series, Adhura. It was widely appreciated and the actor got a lot of compliments for his work in the show. Reflecting on the same, Sahil says, "I'm still filled with the love that I have gotten for Adhura and now soon, I will kickstart our promotions for the next series that I have finished with Viacom." 

Sahil has some other very interesting projects in the pipeline, and they are all surely going to entertain his audience.
