The Traitors participants, Purav Jha, Anshula Kapoor, and Raj Kundra won't be contesting in Bigg Boss 19 

Purav Jha, Anshula Kapoor and Raj Kundra were last seen in Amazon Prime's The Traitors, a reality show with a similar format and intense fights like Bigg Boss. As per reports, like many The Traitors participants, these three were also approached for the latter show. However, they have allegedly denied the offer to join Bigg Boss 19. After the Amazon Prime reality show, neither Anshula nor Raj is reportedly prepared for a similar high-intensity experience.

Meanwhile, Purav Jha, even after garnering a lot of love for his gameplay and personality in The Traitors, has allegedly turned down the offer to join Bigg Boss 19. However, these three former The Traitors participants have not officially confirmed rejecting Bigg Boss offers like the other three above-mentioned celebrities. Anshula, Raj, or Purav might still be seen in the Bigg Boss 19 house.
