The much-awaited premiere of ‘Bigg Boss 15‘ took off on Saturday night. The makers of the show have settled for a Jungle theme for its fifteenth season. 13 contestants were introduced to the audience on the grand opening episode. While 11 of them entered the Bigg Boss home from the main stage, 2 of them were reportedly sent to a real forest. Among the two was actor-model Ieshaan Sehgaal.

Ieshaan was introduced to actor Donal Bisht and Umar Riaz on the stage. The men were both asked to use an animal or bird’s name to describe Donal. While Umar described her as a pigeon, Ieshaan said she reminded him of a beautiful butterfly. 

Donal was also offered the survival kit and was then asked to judge Umar and Ieshaan, who competed for the second survival kit. Donal chose Ieshaan as the winner saying that Umar kept hitting him on the face even though they were asked to refrain from doing so. Though Umar argues, Donal sticks to her decision and Ieshaan gets the kit. 

Following this, Donal and Ieshaan were both taken to the jungle by a jeep. Ieshaan tells Donal that he wouldn’t have spared Umar had this fight happened outside the show.

That really did well and people were asking me if I was entering the house. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the time but since then I have wanted to. And now, it’s the time I am entering the show and I am really happy. The moment I got a call from the makers, I just couldn’t stop myself from saying yes,” he told the outlet.
