Indian cricket sensation Deepak Chahar recently caused a stir with an unexpected appearance on the wildly popular reality show, Bigg Boss. His presence immediately fueled speculation among fans and viewers that he might be entering the house as a wildcard contestant. Clips circulating online showed Chahar jovially interacting with host Salman Khan, instantly captivating the audience.
Salman Khan further ignited the excitement by teasing, “Hum kab se wait kar rahe the ki iss season ke second wildcard kaun honge?” With Shehbaaz Badesha already having joined as the first wildcard, Chahar’s visit certainly added to the rumors.
Deepak, known for his quick wit, playfully remarked, “I honestly feel Bigg Boss is tougher than cricket itself, because inside this house, you never truly know who your friends or enemies are.” When pressed about his chances of winning, he humorously added, “I’ll need to go inside and observe everything first, and only then can a decision be made. However, the chances of winning are definitely strong!”
It was later revealed that Chahar’s visit had a heartfelt purpose: he was there to support his sister, Malti Chahar, who was officially making her grand entrance as the season’s second wildcard. Malti captivated everyone with a dazzling dance performance.
Deepak Chahar, who debuted for India in 2018, has been away from international cricket since 2023 but remains a celebrated figure for his impressive pace and wicket-taking prowess. His brief but memorable appearance on Bigg Boss offered a glimpse into his charming personality beyond the cricket pitch. In the 2025 IPL season, Chahar is an integral part of the Mumbai Indians squad, having taken 11 wickets in 14 matches with an economy rate of 9.17. He also holds the remarkable record for the best bowling figures by an Indian in a T20 International innings.
