Classical musician Bhagirath Bhatt has finally responded to reports linking him with Bigg Boss 20. The sitarist and composer has confirmed that he will not be seen as a contestant in the upcoming season of the Salman Khan-hosted reality show.

Bhatt addressed the rumours through a post on Instagram. Making his position clear, he wrote that he is “NOT going to Bigg Boss 20.” His statement came after several followers repeatedly asked whether reports of his participation were true.

Why Bigg Boss May Not Be the Right Place for Him

Bhatt did more than simply deny the reports. He also explained why the reality-show format does not match his personality.

The musician described himself as someone who believes in calm music. Bigg Boss, on the other hand, is known for heated discussions, personal disagreements, competitive tasks and an emotionally intense living environment.

His message suggested that he would rather stay connected with music and peace than become involved in arguments or unnecessary noise. He also thanked his supporters for their love and blessings.

A Different Kind of Name Among Rumoured Contestants

The possibility of Bhagirath Bhatt entering the Bigg Boss house had caught the attention of entertainment followers because he does not have the usual profile associated with the show.

He is neither known for reality television nor for creating online controversy. Instead, Bhatt has spent years building a respected career in Indian classical music, films, television and streaming projects.

Earlier entertainment reports, including coverage by The Economic Times and The Times of India, had mentioned him as one of the personalities who might be considered for Bigg Boss 20. However, neither the show’s producers nor the television channel officially confirmed his name.

Bhagirath Bhatt’s Journey in Music

Bhagirath Bhatt was born in Jamnagar, Gujarat, and comes from a musical family. His interest in music began during childhood and eventually led him towards formal sitar training.

He has reportedly studied under respected artists such as Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan, Ustad Shahid Parvez, Ustad Asad Khan and Shri Chetan Shastri.

Bhatt further developed his skills at the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. He specialised in sitar and earned a gold medal, according to publicly available biographical information.

From Classical Performances to Bollywood Films

Although Indian classical music remains at the centre of his identity, Bhatt’s career has expanded into mainstream entertainment. His sitar performances and musical contributions have been associated with several major Hindi films.

His reported film credits include Padmaavat, Malaal, Hum Do Hamare Do, Ek Villain Returns, Mission Raniganj, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Border 2.

Bhatt has also contributed to the sound of popular streaming projects. His OTT-related credits include Bandish Bandits, Kota Factory, Gullak and Heeramandi.

Alongside films and web series, he remains connected to spiritual and devotional music. His performances have been featured at programmes associated with Ram Katha, Bhagvat Katha and Shiv Mahapuran.

No Bigg Boss House, More Music Ahead

The idea of seeing a calm classical musician inside the Bigg Boss house had naturally generated curiosity. Some viewers believed his presence could bring a different energy to a programme usually driven by strong personalities and frequent confrontations.

That possibility has now ended with Bhatt’s own clarification. Unless there is an unexpected change, the sitar maestro will continue focusing on his musical and spiritual journey instead of stepping into reality television.

As the premiere of Bigg Boss 20 approaches, speculation around the final lineup is expected to continue. Bhagirath Bhatt may no longer be part of that conversation, but the identities of the contestants who will eventually enter the house remain a major point of interest.
