It was on the sets of Bigg Boss 12 that Jalota got the biggest shock of his life as Jasleen claimed to be romantically involved with him for three years. He shared of entering the Bigg Boss 12 stage and meeting Salman Khan. Jasleen was welcomed as his partner. Anup claimed that Jasleen was his student, but she alleged about them being in a relationship. In an interview with the Lallantop, he shared:
“I told Salman that she is my student. She also sang a song, it was beautiful. When Salman asked if she was my shishya, she said that she had been in a relationship with me for three years. I thought, ‘Yeh kya hogaya? Yeh toh nahi hua tha.’ We never even knew each other that much. Main samajh gaya tha isse kuch game banta hai, mujhe laga ya toh Bigg Boss waalon ne bola hoga, usse ek awfa uthti hai.”
Anup Jalota thought Bigg Boss 12 makers might have told Jasleen Matharu to introduce them as a pair
Anup shared that he was shocked, but was thinking that this might be a part of the game or was scripted. He shared that he had never confronted Jasleen and thought it may have been some game, and she would benefit from the same. Anup also revealed that Jasleen was very talented if one listened to her singing. He shared that Jasleen came to him for singing lessons only 5-6 times. In his words:
“She once told me that she received an offer to participate in Bigg Boss. I said that’s great, you will earn fame. She used to dance in groups and sing at that time.”

Anup shared that the makers of the show had a condition of getting a weird pair in the season. He had asked Jasleen to tell Sukhwinder Singh to join her, but she claimed that he had denied the same. Anup shared:
“Even I said no, I won’t go. I don’t have time, there were so many concerts. Her father came and convinced me. I said yes, but only on one condition that we will go as guru and shishya, so she agreed.”
