Rohit Sharma is indeed set to host a new game show titled 'Family Full House'. The show is scheduled to premiere on September 19, 2026, on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony Liv. There has been no official statement or credible report from the BCCI or any of its officials regarding disciplinary action against him for this venture. Sportsdunia.com and possible11.com have also clarified that BCCI regulations do not prohibit such activities.
Conclusion
The claim that the BCCI will take action against Rohit Sharma for hosting a TV show is false. There are no existing BCCI rules that prohibit active players from participating in television shows, and no official announcement has been made by the BCCI to suggest otherwise. Rohit Sharma's upcoming role as a TV show host is legitimate and does not violate any known cricketing regulations.
