Faisal Shaikh, widely recognized as Mr Faisu, has risen to fame as one of the most influential personalities on social media. Transitioning from the digital realm, Faisal has successfully ventured into the entertainment industry. Despite his growing popularity, Faisal has yet to participate in the renowned reality show Bigg Boss. He recently shared his reasons for this decision.
In a candid conversation on his podcast, Faisal invited fellow social media creator Shreya Kalra. The duo discussed various aspects of Bigg Boss OTT 3 and its contestants. When Shreya inquired about Faisal’s reluctance to join the controversial show, he revealed, “I want to do Bigg Boss, and it’s not about the money—I’m earning enough.”
He further elaborated, “My mom doesn’t want to see me getting shouted at or becoming aggressive and fighting back. She wouldn’t be able to watch me like that on TV.”
During the discussion, Faisal turned the question to Shreya, asking if she would participate in Bigg Boss. Shreya disclosed that she had auditioned for Bigg Boss OTT 3 but wasn’t selected. Reflecting on the current season’s contestants, she expressed relief at not being chosen.
In the same vlog, Faisal and Shreya shared their thoughts on the contestants of the Anil Kapoor-led show. Faisal mentioned knowing Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestant Sana Sultan Khan and praised Vishal Pandey for his genuine and kind behavior towards Lovekesh Kataria, despite the latter’s rudeness on the show’s premiere night.
Faisal Shaikh, aka Mr Faisu, first gained fame through his social media content, amassing over 32.4 million followers on Instagram. His recognition extended into the entertainment industry with notable appearances on Khatron Ke Khiladi 12 and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10.
