It has been rumoured that Payal Rajput will be revving up the fifth season of Bigg Boss Telugu, which will be telecast later this year. The 'RX 100' actress has been described as the reality show's ultimate glam appeal with a basis.

Putting to rest the unfounded speculation, the 'Disco Raja' damsel today made it clear that she is not a part of the show. "It’s fake news. It’s a humble request. Please don’t drag such rumours (sic)," the 'Venky Mama' actress wrote on social media.

Several of her fans have thanked her for not doing the show. The fifth season is going to be hosted by Akkineni Nagarjuna.

The 'RDX Love' actress was last year seen in the Aha original 'Anaganaga O Athidhi', which was the remake of a Kannada film.

In May, Payal lost an old teacher to Covid-19. Taking to social media pages, the actress said that his demise saddened her a great deal. "I am sending love to all those struggling with the loss of a loved one. I pray that we don't need another crisis to remind us to cherish the ones we love," Payal added.
