Faisal Shaikh Says He Has Been Getting Bigg Boss Offers For Last 4 Years

Faisal Shaikh popularly known as Mr. Faisu, engaged in a candid conversation with former Bigg Boss 17 contestant Isha Malviya on his talk show Long Drive. The two stars delved into the intricacies of the controversial reality show Bigg Boss. During the discussion, Faisal candidly disclosed why he’s hesitant to sign up for Bigg Boss, despite persistent offers from the makers over the past four years.

The conversation started with Isha sharing her post-Bigg Boss experiences, discussing how her life changed after coming out from the controversial house. She then asked Faisal if he ever thought about joining the show. Faisal, in reply, admitted his ongoing struggle with the idea, revealing he’s been offered to be on Bigg Boss for four years but worries about how it might affect his image.

Mr. Faisu said, “Yaar, maine socha toh tha. Par mujhe aisa lagta hai mein chala toh jaunga. Bhale log na pasand karein mere fans toh karenge mujhe pasand. Phir darr lagta hai yaar ki kuch acha bana hua hai, Kahin se kuch logon ka pyaar hai, kahin woh kharab na ho jaye. Offer toh mujhe 4 saal se aarha hai but I am not sure" (I had thought about it. But I feel like I’ll lose myself if I go. Even if people don’t like it, my fans might still support me. Then, there’s this fear, that something good that’s been built might get ruined. There’s love from some places; I worry it might turn sour. The offer has been coming to me for four years, but I am not sure).

Isha agreed with Faisal and said that controversies always happen on shows like Bigg Boss. She also told Faisal that Bigg Boss can be tough for people who are close to their families, like him. She said, “Agar aap family person hain toh aapke liye bahut mushkil hoga. Matlab, jinhe doston mein ya parivar mein rehne ki bahut aadat hai, jo insaan jo ek minute ke liye bhi akele nahi reh sakta, uske liye yeh bohat mushkil hoga, bohat."

(If you’re a family person, it will be very difficult for you. I mean, for those who are used to being with friends or family, for someone who can’t even stay alone for a minute, it will be very challenging, very).

Faisal Shaikh gained popularity through his lip-syncing TikTok content. However, he faced backlash after posting a video related to the lynching of Tabrez Khan in 2019, which attracted negative criticism. Following the controversy, he issued a public apology for the controversial clip. He also participated in Khatron Ke Khiladi 12 and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10.
