Mumbai, Nov 26 – Celebrity fashion designer‑turned‑producer Manish Malhotra recently appeared on the reality series Bigg Boss 19. In the episode he casually revealed that early in his career he worked as a model alongside the show’s host, Salman Khan.
Malhotra just rolled out his first production, Gustaakh Ishq, and joined the show with the film’s stars, Vijay Varma and Fatima Sana Shaikh. While on the show he shared, “The first time I met Salman was when we were doing an advertisement shoot for Nescafe. I used to model. When Salman entered all the female models were like, ‘Oh my God, he is so handsome’. And I think just about a year later, he started working in films”.
Salman added, “No, I started working in cinema after 3‑4 years”. Malhotra continued, “He has stopped calling me that now but earlier he used to call me Richard Gere. I always wanted to come on ‘Bigg Boss’ to see how Salman does it, and he does it with absolute style, flair and panache”.
Earlier episodes of Bigg Boss 19 saw contestants Tanya Mittal, Amaal Mallik and Farrhana Bhatt recalling Kunickaa Sadanand as one of the season’s most spirited players. During a garden chat, the trio remembered how firmly she stayed in every task. “We are all missing Kunickaa ji?” Farrhana asked, and Tanya immediately replied, “We miss you”, while Amaal recalled, “She used to be involved in every task. She would not budge. She would be in the game”.
Tanya shared a light‑hearted memory from the bucket challenge: “She used to win in the bucket game. She would tell Neelu (Neelam Giri) to not lose because of her age. How sweet”. Amaal laughed, adding, “Even in that game, she made us fall”. Tanya nodded in agreement, noting Kunickaa had an “unshakeable fighting spirit”.
