Roopal Tyagi

She plays the lead in TV show 'Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke' and it was her affair with co-star Ankit Gera after a break-up with Akhlaque Khan that made her a topic of gossip.

Arvind Vegda

He shot to fame for singing the 'Bhai Bhai' number in Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone-starrer 'Ram Leela'. But we remember him mostly for his OTT dressing style, just like a certain self-styled godman Ram Rahim Singh.

Prince Narula

He's been making all his money through reality shows. This will be his third after 'Roadies' and 'Splitsvilla'. Prince is aggressive and will probably be the first one to pack the first punch. With his beefed up body and starry attitude, there will be drama galore.

Ankit Gera

He is infamous for his philandering ways. In 2010, he began dating his onscreen mother Monika Singh, but broke up when the married lady broached marriage. He then moved on to Adaa Khan and Roopal Tyagi - he was two-timing them. When the ladies found out, they showed him the door.

Suyyash Rai

Besides playing Ranji trophy and launching his own music album, Suyyash has always been known as Kishwer Merchant's boyfriend. The actor has had a beef with a political party who riled him up and beat him black and blue. Of course, he's come with no political agenda.
