She rose to fame with shows like *Jamai Raja* and *Naagin 4*. Nia has been an outspoken individual both on and off-screen, which could make her a strong contender in *Bigg Boss 18*. Her confidence, coupled with her ability to stand up for herself, may see her forming strong alliances while also being embroiled in high-voltage confrontations. She’s likely to be a fan favorite, given her popularity, but it will be interesting to see how she navigates the mind games and politics of the house.

**2. Shilpa Shirodkar**

Veteran actress Shilpa Shirodkar, who was a popular name in Bollywood during the 90s, will bring a touch of nostalgia to *Bigg Boss 18*. Known for her performances in films like *Hum* and *Kishen Kanhaiya*, Shilpa stepped away from the limelight to focus on her family but made a comeback on television in recent years. Shilpa’s maturity and experience in the entertainment industry might position her as a calming influence in the house, but in a show known for unexpected turns, it will be fascinating to see how she handles the inevitable drama. Her ability to manage relationships and conflicts within the house could play a key role in her game.

**3. Meera Deosthale**

Meera’s participation in *Bigg Boss 18* will likely see her portraying a mix of innocence and strength. She may enter the house as the "girl-next-door" but could evolve into a formidable player. Often, the quieter contestants gradually reveal their strategy, and Meera might adopt this path, winning the hearts of viewers through her steady and balanced gameplay.

 **4. Sayli Salunkhe**

Television actress Sayli Salunkhe, known for her roles in Marathi and Hindi TV serials, will add a regional flavor to the mix.

 **5. Shanthi Priya**

Actress Shanthi Priya, who once ruled the silver screen alongside the likes of Akshay Kumar and Mithun Chakraborty, will be one of the senior contestants in the house. Her background in Bollywood, coupled with her experience in handling the pressures of the film industry, might serve her well in *Bigg Boss 18*.

**6. Debchandrima Roy**

Debchandrima Roy is another young face from the world of Indian television, best known for her work in Bengali serials. As a fresh face, her entry into the *Bigg Boss* house could help her gain national recognition.

Contestants who can quickly grasp the social dynamics often go far in the competition, and it remains to be seen if she can play her cards right to win over her fellow contestants and the audience.

 **7. Chahat Pandey**

Chahat Pandey, a rising star in the television industry, has carved a niche for herself with her performances in shows like *Hamari Bahu Silk*.

However, maintaining a balance between creating impactful moments and building relationships within the house will be critical for her survival in the game.

 **8. Sohai Ibrahim**

Known for his dashing looks and on-screen charisma, Sohai Ibrahim is likely to capture the attention of viewers. As a relatively lesser-known face compared to some of the other contestants, *Bigg Boss* provides him with a golden opportunity to connect with a wider audience.

 **10. Avinash Mishra**

Avinash Mishra, known for his roles in *Yeh Teri Galiyan* and *Durga – Mata Ki Chhaya*, is a promising addition to the *Bigg Boss* house.
