Is Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11 rigged? Actor alleges “paid participants” on the dance reality show?

MUMBAI: In a shocking set of allegations, an upcoming actor and model Rayya Labib has alleged that the popular dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa is rigged and is promoting or featuring “paid appearances” and “paid participants” allegedly sponsored by illegal betting app outfits.

As widely reported in various sections of the media, Instagram influencer and former Bigg Boss OTT 2 participant Manisha Rani is slated to be a wild card participant on the popular dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11.

According to reports by Zoom, Manisha Rani was spotted on the sets of the show and has already shot an episode for the same.

The celebrity dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Season 11 has already created a lot of hype and now a new set of allegations is likely to add fuel to the fire.

According to a report by Zoom/Telly Talk, Bigg Boss OTT 2 star Manisha Rani is expected to appear as a wildcard contender in the dance reality show soon. Reportedly, the social media star consented to the same on December 20 and duly signed the contract thereafter. But her participation has raised a lot of eyebrows.

Actor Rayya Labib has come out with a startling statement that Manisha Rani paid Rs 35 lakh to get an entry as a wild card contender on the show and the same was sponsored by a particular online betting company, which is illegal in India.

Speaking to this website, Rayya Labib hit out at Manisha Rani saying that she is using illegal betting funds to manipulate various reality shows. Earlier when she was a contestant on Bigg Boss OTT 2, her former roommate and friend-turned-foe Dj Dolly Sinha had made similar allegations against Manisha Rani, alleging that she paid her way into Bigg Boss OTT Season 2. Now, similar allegations have surfaced again.

We wonder what Manisha Rani has to say to all this?
