Mumbai: Just a day after the brand new promo of Bigg Boss 14 has hit the internet, the audiences are curious to know if Vikas Gupta has been eliminated from the show.
On Sunday, the makers of Bigg Boss unveiled three promos that featured former contestants Sidharth Shukla, Hina Khan and Gauhar Khan making their entry into the house.
However, their former housemate Vikas Gupta was nowhere to be seen in the promo.
Billed as one of the most popular contestants in Bigg Boss 11, Vikas' entry to the house has been called off at the last moment. He was a part of the previous two seasons as a special guest. His presence also helped the show to garner good TRP.

"It is a mystery why Vikas Gupta's name was struck off, more or less at the last minute. One wonders who did this to him and why. It was not in good taste, especially if you consider that his presence in the last 3 seasons - Season 11, 12 and 13 - garnered good TRP," said a source close to the makers of the show.
Confirming the same, Vikas said: "Yes, I was approached for Bigg Boss 14 and I was game for it. Seems, they changed their mind. I am not going now. But it’s okay."
Days back, the makers also shared a video of Salman Khan announcing the premiere date of the reality show, which he has been hosting since its fourth season in 2010.
