The press launch of upcoming 'Bigg Boss' season took place in Goa recently where comedian Bharti Singh & hubby Haarsh Limbachiyaa were introduced as the first jodi of 'Bigg Boss 12'. Also, the makers have reportedly approached many known names to participate in 'BB 12'.

Debina too confirmed that she was approached by 'Bigg Boss 12' makers to be a part of the show but she denied the news of participating in the reality show.

Speaking about the same, she told TOI that, “Not just mine, but it’s also been rumoured that I would be going inside the house with Guru (her husband Gurmeet Choudhary). It’s true that I was approached, but Guru wasn't approached at all. In fact, so many people, who we know of, told us that they too have been approached and they are going because we are going. I just want o wish good luck to those who think that Guru and I are going."
