The one contestant of this season who's been the most silent and looks calm is the contestant who was introduced in the Bigg Boss 12 premiere episode by host Salman Khan as the farmer (Kisan) Sourabh Patel from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh who entered the house with his partner-friend Shivashish Mishra (a businessman). Sourabh, who we even saw crying in the latest episode during Sreesanth and Shivashish Mishra's fight, is currently making headlines for faking his identity in BB 12. While it was revealed in a report on a portal yesterday that Sourabh isn't a farmer but an assistant casting director and he even lied about his name which is actually Sahil Rameshwar Patel, Filmy Monkey learnt that he in fact has even acted in some Television shows playing some prominent roles.

Bigg Boss 12 will tonight air it's Episode no. 6 and Day 5 and while there have been many fights, argument and some fun stuff that happened in this gone week, Sourabh has been winning hearts with his soft and quiet nature. He also looks after the kitchen and happily does the chores. However this latest revelation will surely leave his and BB's ardent fans shocked. Filmy Monkey just found out that Sahil Patel(Sourabh Patel in BB 12)in actually a TV actor and he was recently seen in the Big Magic historical show 'Akbar'. 'Akbar - Rakt Se Takht Ka Safar' marked the debut of popular TV's teenage star Siddharth Nigam's('Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat' fame actor) elder brother Abhishek Nigam who bagged the role of grown up 'Akbar' in it last year.

Sahil Patel(Sourabh) who played the role of 'Askari Mirza' on the show, was even spotted posing with Abhishek Nigam in the same frame behind the scene during 'Akbar' shoot often.

Seen inside the BB 12 house donning a long beard with a big tika on forehead and dressed in indian wear, 32 yr old Sahil/Sourabh's real pictures in the modern avatar flaunting his Lord Shiva tattoo on his chest have been making rounds on the internet already. Remember how his partner Shivashish had introduced him in their introduction video saying  - "jahan ye kolhpuri chappalen pehenke uske oopar kada aur desi dhoti aur kurta pehenta hai..wahin main german watches....[etc]"

Sourabh Patel faked his identity on Bigg Boss 12 as a farmer while he is an actor in real. His real name is Sahil Rameshwar Patel.

In our research we found that some of his co-actors have used the former and others the latter while making his mention. In a video from the sets of Akbar, Sourabh can be heard introducing himself as Sahil Patel announcing his character which was 'Askari Mirza'.

He says - "Hi.. I am playing Askari Mirza and i am Sahil Patel".

Sourabh/Sahil also has actor friends and this was proved by another picture in which he is spotted in a fun moment with Rashmi Mishra, actress seen in hindi films like 'Majaz: Ae Gham-e-Dil Kya Karun', 'Little Boy' and 'Naughty Gang'. When someone inquired Rashmi today if this man is the Sourabh of Bigg Boss 12, she replied in affirmative saying "Yes".

And lastly, hear it from the horse's mouth! We mean Sourabh's own partner on the show, Shivashish, who just happened to address him as 'Sahil' by mistake and the video has gone viral leaving everyone in shock. Shivashish and Deepak are in a conversation where the former praises the latter for his swag and this is when Shivashish mentions Sourabh's name in regard with his desi swag, calling him "Sahil" mistakenly. The next moment he corrects it too.

Watch video below:


Other than 'Akbar', Sahil Rameshwar Patel (Sourabh Patel of #BB12 )has done some more TV shows too and the news articles published in the past few years mention them under the headline that carries his real name i.e. "Sahil Patel". Sahil Patel's (Sourabh Patel) other television shows reportedly include Savdhaan India, Udaan, Razia Sultan & some more.

This completely explains why the man changed his name to enter the show since Google has his secrets!

And while we know the actual reality of Sourabh(Sahil)now, we wonder if the makers were aware of it. We heard Sourabh saying to Salman in the premiere episode - "gehoon, chawal, arhar, masoor daal, ganne.." - when the superstar asked him - "itni badi zameen ke oopar kya kya ugaate ho aap?".

We are shocked to know about all of this and we would really like to know your views on the same.
