PM Modi's ex bodyguard to enter Bigg Boss 18: Lucky Bisht, a former Indian spy and NSG commando who once served as a personal bodyguard to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has revealed that he was approached to participate in Bigg Boss 18 but declined the offer. Following initial discussions with the Bigg Boss 18 team, Lucky Bisht consulted with his own advisors, who ultimately cautioned him against joining the reality show, leading to his decision to decline the offer.

Bisht said via his spokesperson, “As a RAW agent, our lives are often shrouded in secrecy and mystery, and very few people ever know the true details of who we are. We’re trained to never reveal our identity or personal lives, and I’ve adhered to that. It’s a choice I made, and I am glad that people are understanding and supportive of it.”

Lucky Bisht, a renowned Indian sniper and former RAW agent, made a name for himself as India's Best National Security Guard commando in 2009 ¹. His impressive career spanned serving as the security officer for Narendra Modi during his tenure as Gujarat's Chief Minister, as well as being part of the security detail for US President Barack Obama's 2010 visit to India.

Bisht's life took a dramatic turn in 2011 when he was arrested and jailed in connection with the twin murder case of Raju Pargai and Amit Arya at the Nepal border in Uttarakhand. However, after a lengthy legal battle, he was acquitted of all charges in 2018 due to insufficient evidence ¹. This experience seemed to be a turning point for Bisht, leading him to leave the special forces and pursue a new career in Bollywood as a screenwriter and filmmaker.

Today, Bisht is recognised as a film producer, with credits in several music videos, short films, and web series, including Ehsaas, Niyati Chakra, 3D Night and Super Laundey. His production company, Lucky Commando Films, has been instrumental in bringing his creative vision to life. With upcoming feature films like Danav, Murastal and Alvida My Restaurant, Bisht's transition from a decorated commando to a rising star in Bollywood is certainly one to watch.
