Shoaib said, "I have mentioned this before as well, never say never but there are no plans of mine to participate in this season of Bigg Boss. I would love to participate but in 3-4 years, not right now. I just wanted to clear it out as I have received so many messages since morning. I don't know who started this news but it isn't happening."

He further elaborated on the unintended consequences of these rumours, stating that he would have lost an opportunity due to the speculation. "I even received a message from a production house asking whether I was actually going as they were planning to cast me for a show. Then I told them that I wasn't participating and we could talk about the show."
