Background

Himanshi came into the spotlight earlier this year following the death of her husband, Navy officer Vinay Narwal, who was killed in a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on April 22, 2025. 

The couple was on their honeymoon when the incident took place. Photos of Himanshi mourning beside her husband went viral on social media.

Elvish Yadav, in one of his vlogs, later shared that Himanshi was his college mate. "I passed out in 2018, and since then we had not spoken at all. Gurgaon, Delhi, is my city. We used to enjoy so much... we used to go to the metro station together. I had her number, but I did not call her because it is not possible for anyone to pick up your phone at that time and tell you," he said.

While there is still no clarity on Himanshi's participation, other names reportedly in talks for Bigg Boss 19 include Shailesh Lodha, Gurucharan Singh, Munmun Dutta, Lataa Saberwal, Faisal Shaikh (Mr. Faisu), Jannat Zubair, Purav Jha, Apoorva Mukhija and more.

Earlier reports had claimed that YouTubers and social media influencers might be excluded from this season.
