The recent exit of Pranit More from ‘Bigg Boss 19’ left fans stunned and disappointed. Known for his calm demeanour and grounded personality, Pranit’s sudden departure added an emotional twist to the season.
While he left the show due to health reasons, many celebrities have left the BB house due to many other reasons.
Back in 2006, during ‘Bigg Boss’ season 1, Navjot Singh Sidhu became the first high-profile contestant to voluntarily quit. His wife, Navjot Kaur, reportedly appealed to the channel for his exit as Sidhu needed to campaign for his political party.
Speaking about his exit, he had told India Today, “It is not that I had not informed party people about going in the show. They knew about it. When I went for the show, the date was not fixed for the campaigns. I got to know through my wife that the campaign dates have got rescheduled to an earlier date."
"I have not met them yet. But I must say the ouster from the show was sudden and surprising for me. I was immersed in the show and suddenly had to leave it. I was surprised and feeling awkward,” he further added.
Fast forward to ‘Bigg Boss 3’, actress Shamita Shetty had her own reasons to step away. She left the show midway to attend her sister Shilpa Shetty’s wedding to businessman Raj Kundra.

Then came ‘Bigg Boss 14’, where the drama wasn’t just on screen — it spilled into real emotions. Kavita Kaushik walked out of the house following an intense verbal spat with Rubina Dilaik.
Their argument became one of the most talked-about fights in the season.
Later, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, she revealed that she regrets doing ‘Bigg Boss’. She said, "Yeah, I do. I had a really bad experience. I still feel sick sometimes thinking about it. I puke and stuff, so yeah."
In the same season, singer Rahul Vaidya decided to quit voluntarily, confessing that he missed his family and couldn’t handle the isolation. However, due to popular demand, he was brought back to the show.
Sonika Kaliraman dropped out of ‘Bigg Boss 5’. Entering the house while six months pregnant, she voluntarily exited mid-season, saying she didn’t want her baby to be exposed to the constant conflicts and heated atmosphere.
