A source told Bollywood Life, ”There’s a big requirement for Colors actors to join their reality show. Look closely, all the actors from Colors who’ve been on the reality show, like Priyanka Choudhary, Ankit Gupta, Abhishek Kumar, Isha Malviya, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Samarth Jurel, they have something in common. Apart from working on the same channel, they were all rumored to be dating their co-stars from the same show.”
The source explained, “The channel’s requirement is strict. Just being a lead on their show isn’t enough. They want those leads to have a love story with a co-star or crew member. Rumors of romance put an actor in the spotlight. If two actors from the same show date, the channel often casts them together in Bigg Boss to capitalize on their relationship. Even if a lead is talented, without a love story, they might lose out to a lesser actor with on-set romance.”
