Sachiin Joshi and Sunny Leone were on Bigg Boss recently to promote their film Jackpot (remember we leaked the secrets to you before the episode aired?), but it turns out that Sachiin’s request to meet Salman Khan was denied. The actor and producer wanted to shoot the episode on Saturday, which is one of the days that Salman is on the sets. However, our Industrywalla hints to us that Salman didn’t think Sachiin would have been much of a pull for audiences, and therefore felt no need to have him on the stage. Furthermore, Sachiin’s friendship with Shah Rukh Khan may have also been a factor in Salman sidelining him. Here’s what he tells us:

Industrywalla says: It looks like Sachiin Joshi’s friendship with Shah Rukh Khan may have been the reason he did not get an audience with Bigg Boss host Salman Khan. Even though Sachiin and Sunny entered the Bigg Boss house promoting their movie Jackpot on Thursday night, Sachiin actually wanted to meet Salman and shoot the episode on Saturday when the eviction happens. However, Salman didn’t feel like getting Sachiin on the show with him, as he felt there wouldn’t be much interest in seeing him on the Bigg Boss stage. However, due to her popularity and association with the show, Sunny got more screen time inside the house.

Even so, Sachiin definitely left his mark. Turns out that he made things awkward between Kushal and Gauahar, when he taunted the latter by saying she was using both the boys as puppets! A lot what was said after he left was censored – I am told that Kushal and Gauahar called him a dwarf, and even made some personal comments about his life.

Despite the controversy, Sachiin turned out to be happy guy after all, since Shah Rukh Khan made it to the premiere of Jackpot.
