Sitarist and music composer Bhagirath Bhatt has put an end to all speculation about his participation in the upcoming season of Bigg Boss 20. The musician, whose name was circulating among the rumoured contestants for the Salman Khan-hosted reality show, took to social media to make it clear that he will not be entering the house. Bhatt explained that the show’s loud and confrontational environment does not match his personality, as he is someone who believes in calm and peaceful music.
The denial comes just days before the grand premiere of Bigg Boss 20, which is scheduled to air on September 6, 2026. Fans of the show have been eagerly waiting for the official contestant list, and Bhatt’s name had become a topic of discussion across social media platforms. However, the celebrated sitar player has now confirmed that he is not part of the lineup.
Bhagirath Bhatt Breaks Silence on Instagram
Bhagirath Bhatt addressed the rumours directly through an Instagram post. He shared that he had been receiving many questions from followers and well-wishers about his possible entry into the Bigg Boss house. In his statement, he thanked everyone for their love and curiosity but firmly denied any involvement with the show.
“For the past few days, I’ve been getting a lot of questions on Instagram and social media about whether I’m entering Bigg Boss 20 or not. Thank you so much for all your love and curiosity, but I want to make it clear – I am NOT going to Bigg Boss 20.”
The musician did not stop at just denying the rumours. He went on to explain why he felt the show was not the right fit for him. Bhatt made it clear that his personality and values are completely different from what the reality show demands.
“Honestly, I don’t think I’m made for a show like that. I’m not someone who can shout or create unnecessary noise. I’m a believer in calm music, and peaceful music has always been my inspiration.”
He ended his post by thanking his fans once again for their endless love and blessings, signing off with “Jai Siya Ram Jai Hind.”
Why Bhagirath Bhatt Said No to Bigg Boss 20
For those who follow Bhagirath Bhatt’s work, his decision to reject the reality show offer may not come as a surprise. The sitarist has built his career around classical Indian music, collaboration, and creative expression. His life and work are rooted in discipline, calmness, and artistic depth — qualities that stand in stark contrast to the high-voltage drama that Bigg Boss is known for.
Bhatt himself admitted that he is not someone who can shout or create unnecessary noise. He described himself as a “believer in calm music” and said that peaceful music has always been his source of inspiration. This statement reflects his commitment to his art and his unwillingness to compromise his values for the sake of reality television fame.
The Bigg Boss format is built around conflict, emotional outbursts, and strategic gameplay. Contestants are locked inside a house with no contact with the outside world, and they are monitored 24/7. The show thrives on interpersonal clashes and dramatic moments. For a musician like Bhatt, who spends his life creating harmonious melodies, such an environment would be a complete departure from his natural element.
