It’s one of the most watched TV shows, trying to bring us something new every season. This year it’s common man vs celebrities. The concept sounds fun but the high point of the first episode was the one and only – Salman Khan. If not for Salman’s quirky bindaas attitude, the first episode of the show would have fallen flat even with Deepika Padukone making an appearance.
The show started off with Salman taking a few people, who naturally looked like had been paid to be there, around the Bigg Boss house as a guide, followed by a dhamakedar Sallu performance. That’s it. The show’s best part started and ended there.
Deepika Padukone was the first guest on the show. Her act was about some action moves but I guess she had no time to prepare for it so it didn’t do much to uplift the show. The actress was there to launch her Hollywood debut film ‘xXx: The Return of Xander Cage’ and even managed to spend a few hours inside the house. But Deepika being Deepika was at her best behaviour and was her diplomatic self again, burdening Salman with the responsibility of being funny and spontaneous. Ufffff.....
Coming to the participants – the celebrity list failed to impress us. Even if I try to dig into their profiles it’s quite difficult to find them except for one or two. Actually ek point pe mujhe celebs he aam aadmi lag rahe the.
Ab toh aam janta ke haath may hai ye show aur jab kuch na ho paye, Salman bhai hai na.
So here are the contestant of Bigg Boss Season 10.
Mr Swami TV nahi dekhte but Bigg Boss kya hai pata hai, kabhi film nahi dekhte but Salman fan hai. The moment he entered voices around me screamed “JHOL HAI BOSS”. He wants to spread love and peace and most importantly wants to find Salman Khan a perfect match.
A model and winner of a beauty pageant, Lopamudra hai to Nagpur se but unka accent hai saath samunder paar se. Unka accent sunke Salman ko toh Katrina Kaif ki yaad aa gayi hogi.
Salman has kind of found another version of himself – Manveer Gurjar. Gurjar, who is a farmer from Noida, has all the tashan of Dabangg Khan. He is desi, rugged and looks like someone who doesn’t take shit from anyone.
She is a Kashmiri girl from Delhi who is pretty, hot and self obsessed but is here to change your perception. She is beauty with brains, an ex employee of Google. I already like her.
Rohan Mehra came across as the good boy who might just be under age and also might get sidelined in this bheed.
Deepika has said it and I am also saying it – this woman will get into trouble because she is outspoken. She is surely a strong competitor.
Priyanka Chopra ki fan but aawaz hai bilkul Dolly Bindra jaisi. So every time you know she is getting angry, put your TV on mute.
Karan will not be Naitik, the name India knows him by, but we will get to see the real Karan Mehra in the house.
Now there is a mystery here. Akansha Sharma was married to a famous cricketer’s brother and now she wants to get out of that marriage. She is someone who looked like someone with no drama.
Rahul Dev made an entry into the house in style and entered the house like a gentleman. Ab ye dekhna hai kaun kitne din gentleman banke rehta hai.
Mother of two and a working woman, Priyanka Jagga lives in Canada and we got to know a lot about her from her kids who said things they will get into trouble for. Full of nautanki, this woman will add some masala in the house.
Gaurav Chopra has been a well known face on TV and everybody, especially the girls must have noticed how classy he is. Welcome the new casanova of the house.
Manoj Punjabi is a self proclaimed flirt, self proclaimed hero and a lot of other self proclaimed things. And he loves gossiping, which I guess, is the main reason why he is in the house.
Shayari inka shauk hai but problem hai ki kahi pe bhi chalu ho jaate hai. Naveen Prakash is a professor from Bihar living in Kolkata.
Antara Biswas is known as Mona Lisa in the Bhojpuri film industry. She’s done more than 100 films but I keep forgetting which team she is in – common man or celebrity.
