Television actress Dipika Kakkar, who rose to fame with her popular and one of the longest-running daily soaps, Sasural Simar Ka, is entering the Bigg Boss 12 house. While the theme of this season's Bigg Boss is vichitra jodi (unique pair), the show will have many dd pairs partnering for their survival in the reality show.

Dipika, who recently tied the knot with Shoaib Ibrahim has accepted the show's proposal. However, husband Shoaib Ibrahim has declined to enter the show. Talking about it, a source close to the couple told Mumbai Mirror, "The makers were looking for a casting coup, getting Dipika and Shoaib on board, but the latter turned down the offer. Now, Dipika will partner someone else."
