Summary
- Anup Jalota initially declined to appear on Bigg Boss 12 with Jasleen Matharu
- Jasleen's father convinced Jalota to join the show as her "mentor and student"
- Jalota was stunned when Jasleen introduced him as her boyfriend on the show

In a recent interview, renowned singer and musician Anup Jalota revisited the controversy that surrounded his appearance on the reality show Bigg Boss 12 alongside actress and singer Jasleen Matharu. The duo had entered the show as an apparent romantic couple, sparking widespread speculation and discussions about their notable age difference.
Jalota has now disclosed that their association was never romantic, but rather a musical mentorship. He shared that Jasleen used to attend his music classes and was selected for Bigg Boss, prompting her to invite Jalota to join her on the show. Jalota initially declined the offer, but Jasleen's father played a key role in convincing him to participate.
However, things took an unexpected turn when the show's narrative adopted a romantic angle, one that even Jalota had not anticipated. He recalled the surprising moment on stage with host Salman Khan, where Jasleen introduced him as her partner, despite Jalota's insistence that she was his student. Jalota was stunned and suspected the narrative might have been orchestrated for dramatic effect.
After his exit from the show, Jalota learned about the media uproar surrounding his association with Jasleen. He then decided to hold a press conference with Jasleen's father to clear the air and dispel the baseless rumors, as there was no truth to the romantic claims.
