The 34-year-old content creator from Amritsar has established himself in the digital sphere.

Shehbaz Badesha, affectionately known as Shehnaaz Gill's brother, made a lasting impression with his appearance in Bigg Boss 13 and is now the first wild card entry in Bigg Boss Season 19.

The 34-year-old content creator from Amritsar has established himself in the digital sphere. Shehbaz has nearly a million Instagram followers and several viral videos.

He will be seen participating in the latest season of Bigg Boss, and it will be interesting to see his journey, especially after his wild card entry.

This year, the theme of the show is Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar and follows the concept of democracy. Fans are excited to see how Shehbaz's enthusiasm, humour, and charm will change the competition once he enters the house.

Addressing the inevitable comparisons with his sister Shehnaz Gill, Shehbaz shared, “I don’t feel any pressure as such. I feel proud to be known as Shehnaz’s brother because it’s my own blood at the end of the day. But the audience will support me only if I entertain them, because they’re Shehnaz’s fans. That’s why I’ll entertain everyone my way. Shehnaz is a different personality, and I’m not here to copy anyone, I’ll play my way.”

Reflecting on the legacy of the late Siddharth Shukla, Shehbaz added, “I can’t ever build on his legacy. He was one of a kind, and no one can ever be like him in any way possible. I will win the show only on the basis of my own personality.”

Bigg Boss 19 streams new episodes every night at 9:00 PM on JioHotstar and 10:30 PM on COLORS.
