The new season of Bigg Boss 19 has barely begun, and one name has already grabbed headlines, Kunickaa Sadanand. Known for her fiery on-screen characters in the 90s and her equally dramatic real-life journey, Kunickaa has entered the house with a bang, ready to shake up the dynamics.
Kunickaa first made her mark in Bollywood with Kabrastan (1988) and soon became a familiar face in films like Beta, Gumraah, Khiladi, and Hum Saath Saath Hain. On television, she shined in Swabhimaan and other popular shows, carving out a strong presence in both mediums. Often seen in negative or comic roles, she brought flair and energy that made her stand out.
But Kunickaa’s off-screen life was just as dramatic as her roles. Married at just 18 to a man 13 years older, she became a mother young and later endured a long custody battle for her son. The relationship ended, and later, a live-in with Sunil Sikand also fell apart. Her second marriage to a US-based man brought another son, but that too ended in divorce by 2006, leaving her to navigate life as a single mother.
Adding to the storms, she was once linked with legendary singer Kumar Sanu. The relationship created such a stir that his wife allegedly attacked her car with a hockey stick. While the chapter is long closed, the scandal remains one of the most talked-about episodes of her life.
In a surprising career shift, Kunickaa took a step away from films and reinvented herself. She pursued law and forensics, eventually becoming a practicing advocate by 2018. Known for her outspoken nature, she also became a social activist, standing up for causes and people in need.
Now, Kunickaa is back in front of the camera, but in a completely new arena, the Bigg Boss 19 house. True to form, she has already made her presence felt. From clashing with Baseer Ali (“We aren’t here to do your favours”) to locking horns with Mridul Tiwari (“Leader giri mat kar”), she’s proving that she’s not afraid of confrontation.
With her mix of screen experience, legal sharpness, and a no-nonsense attitude, Kunickaa is emerging as one of the most unpredictable contestants this season. Whether she plays the game with strategy or pure fire, one thing is certain, Bigg Boss 19 just got a whole lot more interesting.
