Said no to Bigg Boss OTT because it was not the right time: Nishant Anand 

Nishant Anand is a notable figure in the legal field, practicing law in the Supreme Court of India while pursuing his doctorate in law. Additionally, he has entered the political arena as an active Aam Aadmi Party member and spokesperson, advocating for reform and change. Sharing his work life so far he says,”I have participated in MTV Splitsvilla and MTV Webbed in 2014-2015. I also ventured into web series with DKP Production House, known for shows like "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" and "Anupama" on Star Plus. However, later I shifted focus to global IT business after leaving Mumbai.”
Recently, Nishant made headlines by declining an offer from Big Boss OTT due to the upcoming Haryana elections and the situation involving Aam Aadmi Party's national convener, Arvind Kejriwal. While he deemed it inappropriate to commit to a 6-month reality show stint at this crucial time, he remains open to future opportunities. Nishant Anand's journey from entertainment to law and politics showcases his versatility and dedication to societal impact, inspiring many with his story of determination and passion in shaping one's destiny.
Nishant also adds,”Always wanted to do something good for people. Realized at a very young age that a real hero is someone who does things for people and for the country. Left acting as soon as I realized I had to do something real for people. Aam Aadmi Party created a platform and gave an opportunity to all to join politics, especially those from average families and with no connections to political dynasties. I got this offer from Bigg Boss ott but I declined as it was not the right time. Maybe Bigg Boss on TV is something I might do in the near future.”
