Bigg Boss 8: Is this the final list of contestants?

 

With just a day to go, rumours and speculations about Bigg Boss 8 contestants are aplenty.

Dozens of names are being thrown around. But who will make it? Suspense remains.

Based on rumours and reports, we have derived a list of people who are most likely to enter Bigg Boss house tomorrow, amid a roaring opening ceremony.

Here's the list:

Shveta Salve: The Hip Hip Hurray actress is out of sight for quite some time now. Bigg Boss is a definite way to resurrect careers.

Karishma Tanna: She shot to popularity in Ekta Kapoor's superhit saas-bahu saga 'Kyunki Saas Bhiu Kabhi Bahu Thi'. and then we saw her in 'Grand Masti'. Need we say more.

Sushant Divgikar: BB8's only LGBT contestant, he has been a part of Mr. gay 2014. All eyes will be on him. Well if not all, them many of them.

Arya Babbar: His debut movie Ab Ke Baras sank with out a trace. Will Bigg Boss revive hiscareer?

Minnisha Lamba: The petite actress is in most likelihood will be the feel-good factor of the house.

Ajit Chandila: This tainted cricketer may be looking for reversal of fortune through Bigg Boss.

VJ Bani: MTV Roadies 4 runner up perhaps, is looking for a different kind of adrenaline rush by doing dishes and washing clothes in Bigg Boss house.

Sushant Singh: Actor and Sawdhaan India host. Will he be the conscience-keeper in the house?

Mohit Malhotra: Splitsvilla 2 winner may be looking for a second opportunity to strike gold in the reality-show.

Upen Patel: The UK-Bred model turned actor is likely to soar up the temperature in the house.

Puneet Issar: Best remembered as Duryodhan, Puneet Issar has directed a few films in the past. He may be the senior most member in the house this season. 

Praneet Bhat: TV actor rose to fame with his Portrayal of Shakuni in Mahabharat series.

Natasa Stankovic: Serbian beauty is likely to add the firang tadka to Bigg Boss house this season.

Sonali Raut: The Xpose actress is supermodel Ujjwala Raut's younger sister. Sonali modeled for the Kingfisher calender in 2010.

We don't want to see Shweta Prasad Basu on Bigg Boss. Period.

It's a TV classic. A prime-time show, where celebs come, bitch, make 'friends', let out their 'secrets', have flirtatious relationships... all in front of the prying eyes of millions of viewers. Out of these, some get famous just like that; others fight for their 15 minutes of fame. Yes, what else, we're talking about Bigg Boss.

If you don't know already, it's that time of the year again! Pre-Bigg Boss time! The time when rumour mills set rolling and work overtime to come up with a list of likely housemates who'll be locked inside the famed house for the 'journey of their life'.

And now we have so many tongues wagging that former child actor Shweta Prasad Basu could be one of the contestants of the show, after she hit headlines for her involvement in a prostitution racket. Why? Because she promises drama, both in and out of the house! A relative newcomer to the fame game, it is immaterial whether she'd indulge the more experienced celebs in the house -- and the audience -- and tell her side of the story. But, going by Bigg Boss tradition, she will no doubt grab eyeballs, and that's a win-win situation for the channel's bigwigs in their battle for TRPs.

Here's what we feel: Shweta Prasad Basu should not be a contestant of Bigg Boss 8 because we don't want to see her go the Anita Advani or Rakhi Sawant way and parade herself in front of millions in order to get sympathy. The point is simple: Whatever her circumstances, needs, or the compulsion, before she decided to demean herself, this girl does not need our sympathies.

Honestly, who are we to judge? She did something she thought was the right thing to do and it should be none of our business. Anybody's business, for that matter. And if a few stubborn ones among us insist it is, here's a question: Would Shweta Prasad's presence in a group of bitchy, politicking, hungry-to-win contestants help identify the men who didn't have any moral qualms before they went to her? Sure, the world will not change even if we hear who they were, what they do or how 'connected' they are to people who matter. If nothing else, at least it could give us all a sense of closure. No?

Again, the world will also not change if we don’t find out who these men are.  Will any action be taken against them or the men who are involved in running the racket?  So, why do we need to see Prasad on our TV screens every night? What will she get by coming on the show?

Just because the entire world seems to be interested in knowing what-the-hell-went-wrong with what we thought would be a famous actor some day, doesn't mean she should get bullied by greedy television executives hungry to create drama and drive up ratings and sell her story.

Just because we suffer from extreme narcissism doesn't mean Shweta Prasad should validate herself by having everyone watch her all the time. We don't want to see her look like a broken soul, who needs a TV show to show people what she truly is, and what she isn't.

Reality TV is one funny place -- it puts immense pressure on contestants, who don't always know exactly what they have signed up for. Prasad might already be psychologically fragile, add to that the pressure of 'looking good', 'sounding right'.

No, Prasad doesn’t need to go through this whole attention-seeking journey of proving something to god knows whom, reacting to the 'games' of other housemates, trying to make them like her, and in the process trying to win our hearts. No, we don't want to see her pouting, posing, primping, preening on Bigg Boss. We want the whole sex racket episode to end and end now. Because, once she's on Bigg Boss, there's no ending this sex racket saga! sthash.

'Narang brothers used to hypnotise and molest me'

Pooja Mishra, who entertained one and all in Bigg Boss with her 'spare me' act always grabbed eyeballs for all the wrong reasons. The model-turned-actress is again in the news after she accused Isha Koppikar's husband Rohit (aka Timmy) Narang and his brother Rahul (aka Jimmy) Narang of molesting her. 

In an exclusive conversation with The Times Of India, Pooja gets candid about her allegation, the FIR and her next step to get justice.

You apparently filed an FIR against Rohit (aka Timmy) Narang and his brother Rahul (aka Jimmy) Narang. Can you tell us about the incident that encouraged you to take the step?

Well, I am a very balanced and neutral person, I tried sending an SMS to Rohit and tried requesting him to find a middle,moderate path for the sabotage, defamation, harassment, stalking and interferences I have faced from the past 9 years in my personal and professional life besides being molested. However when he did not revert I was left with no other option but to lodge an FIR.

Salman Khan Turns Endorser For Subhash Ghai’s Kaanchi

Known to promote and market his friend’s films, bollywood Superstar Salman Khan has taken it upon himself now to help promote Subhash Ghai’s upcoming film, Kaanchi.

Last December, Salman took to aggressively promoting his friend Aamir Khan’s action flick Dhoom 3, using the platform of the reality TV show, he hosts, Bigg Boss, to the maximum. In March, Salman has now turned to another friend, Subhash Ghai, and is helping promote his film.

Salman “Bhai” took to social networking site twitter last night, in order to spread the word about Kaanchi. Starring debutantes Mishti and Karthik Aryan, Kaanchi is Subhash Ghai’s return to cinema, after a hiatus of nearly five years. His last film, Yuvraaj, starring Salman in the lead, unfortunately bombed at the Box Office.

Salman Khan posted on twitter, after watching and allegedly loving the trailer of Ghai’s upcoming film: “Saw the promo of Kaanchi? Quiet nice na? Happy for Subhash Ghai, its beautifully shot, hope it does well. Best of luck Subhash Ghai.”

In the meanwhile, Subhash Ghai released the much awaited Kaanchi Anthem for the film. The song has been shot in rural localities and it exhibits the fearless and cheerful life of the lead character Kaanchi,  in her village.

With vocals by Sukhwinder and lyrics penned by Irshad Kamil, the song wonderfully captures Mishti’s charisma and composer Ismail Darbar’s soulful music.

Kaanchi is directed by Subhash Ghai and is slated to release on April 25, 2014. Kaanchi also features Rishi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, Chandan Roy Sanyal and Rishabh Sinha in pivotal roles.

Well, we certainly hope that Salman Khan’s fans all heed his advice, and turn up for Kaanchi, making it a huge success indeed at the Box Office.

Don't know if I can pull off 'Bigg Boss' like Salman Khan, confesses Ajay Devgn

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn says he is unsure that, given a chance, he will be able to host reality show Bigg Boss as skillfully as his fellow actor Salman Khan did.

Rumours are rife that Salman, who successfully hosted four consecutive seasons of the reality show, may not be available for the eighth season of Bigg Boss.

When asked whether he would accept if given the opportunity to host Bigg Boss, Ajay said, "I really don't know. I cannot comment on that - may be I will or may be not. I am not sure."

"Salman does it so well... he is watchable. I don't know if I can pull it off like Salman. I have not seen all the episodes, but a little bit here and there," Ajay told IANS.

Salman and Ajay are contemporaries as well as friends. They have worked together in films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and London Dreams.

"I don't believe that rivals cannot be friends. All of us are friends, most of us at least. Salman, Sanjay Dutt, and me are very close. Earlier, we used to meet on each other's sets. Now it's become more professional, but we have a great rapport. Whenever we need each other, we stand for each other," he added.
