Speculation around Chanchlani’s participation surfaced after several media reports included his name in provisional contestant lists for the 20th season. The reports quickly gained traction across social media platforms, with fans debating whether the popular YouTuber would make his reality television debut as a full-time housemate. However, the creator took to social media to dispel the rumours, confirming that the speculative lists circulating online are entirely unfounded.
Addressing the ongoing media reports, Chanchlani posted a series of notes on his Instagram Stories expressing frustration over the recurring speculation. Sharing a picture with his hands on his head, he explicitly stated his stance regarding the show.

He was previously approached for Bigg Boss 11 in 2017, an offer he turned down citing a preference for his personal space and independence over strict house rules. While he has refrained from participating as a contestant, he has made guest appearances on previous seasons to promote his projects. Who Is Nitish Rajput?
