A Story That Touched Millions

Himanshi became known across the country earlier this year after a sad tragedy. Her husband, Navy officer Vinay Narwal, was killed in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on April 22, 2025. The couple was on their honeymoon when it happened. A photo of her crying beside her husband’s body went viral online. Later, Elvish Yadav revealed in a vlog that she was his college friend and spoke about their happy college days.

Other Possible Contestants

While it is still not clear if Himanshi will enter the show, other big names are being linked to the season. These include Shailesh Lodha, Gurucharan Singh, Munmun Dutta, Lataa Saberwal, Faisal Shaikh, Jannat Zubair, Purav Jha, and Apoorva Mukhija. This year’s theme is “Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar,” where power will be shared by all contestants instead of having one captain.
