Nia Sharma recently made headlines when she was confirmed as the first contestant for Bigg Boss 18 during the grand finale of Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. However, just a few days later, on October 6, she announced that she would not be participating, leaving fans disappointed and confused. Nia has now addressed the situation, explaining that she was initially set to join Bigg Boss 18, but unexpected changes led to her withdrawal. She mentioned that she received last-minute information from Colors about her involvement, which was supposed to include a segment for 'Laughter Chef.' Unfortunately, by the time the announcement was made, the mentioned show's integration had been canceled.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Nia revealed "It was Colors and I was told the very last minute and I was supposed to go for Laughter Chef integration. But by the time when they announced, just a few days later, Laughter Chef got cancelled. Eventually when I was supposed to go and I didn't, I wasn't supposed to go, that the whole thing of course to create a buzz and a hype which I think they very well succeeded at."

"If it was their planning or it was anything like that and you know it was completely theirs, that strategy and up to them and I'm working for them. I have two shows and if they're doing something on my name, it's completely alright," she added.
Additionally, the actress expressed her support for Colors' decision to announce her name, noting the tremendous buzz it generated. She remarked that until someone participates in Bigg Boss or a significant scene occurs, people often seem indifferent.
"I thought I owe them an apology that thank you for the love, but I'm not going. I take it in my stride because it was fun, it was beautiful hype and a review that I saw myself after a very long time. Other than that, it's all about my clothes, it's how I dress up, how naked I am all the time about my cleavage. It's time we moved on from there, and I think after Laughter Chefs quite a lot has changed," Nia concluded.
