The controversial reality show Bigg Boss is back. Salman Khan is back as the host of Bigg Boss 18, which had its grand premiere on October 6. Chahat Pandey, who has starred in popular TV serials and has also contested elections, is one of the eighteen contestants in the Colors TV show. Here's everything you need to know about her.
Born and raised in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, Chahat made her acting debut in the 2016 TV show Pavitra Bandhan when she was just 17. After appearing in multiple other shows such as Aisi Deewangi Dekhi Nahi Kahi, Crime Patrol Satark, Savdhaan India, and Tenali Rama among others, the actress secured her first lead role in the 2019 show Hamari Bahu Silk. Pandey has since then led other popular serials such as Dwarkadheesh Bhagwan Shree Krishn - Sarvkala Sampann and Durga - Mata Ki Chhaya.

Before the 2023 Madhya Pradesh State Assembly elections, the actress joined Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and contested the polls from her hometown Damoh. Chahat lost by a huge margin and only received 2292 votes, and thus, also lost her security deposit.
