Mumbai, November 3, 2006: Bigg Boss has opened the doors to his secret hideout His guests arrived prepared for a three-month-long holiday but they are completely unaware of is what is in store for them. This lovely mansion, set up in a picturesque surrounding, situated 80 kms from the hustle bustle of Mumbai, is not all that it seems to be. They do not know yet that this charming house is about to turn into a fortress that will trap them with no escape into the real world. There's more. There are house rules to be adhered to which will have them on their feet and perhaps on their knees too!
Guess who is on this guest list? They are as different as chalk and cheese. Yet they are all expected to live together under one roof amicably. A tall order for sure. These celebrities with their own fetishes and foibles are going to rub each other the wrong way sooner or later and then the floodgates will be thrown open. Civility will be thrown to the winds and the true colours will be there for all to see. One thing is for sure… there will never be a dull moment at the Bigg Boss house.
There's Aryan Vaid well groomed and polished alongside Rakhi Sawant and her big mouth. There are top class models Carol Gracias and Anupama Verma with the king of Bhojpuri films Ravi Kishen. There's Bobby Darling waiting to have fun ditto for Rupali Ganguly while the suave Rahul Roy would prefer to keep his counsel. Kashmira Shah will add spice to the goings on. There's handsome cricketer-cum actor Salil Ankola, television actors Amit Sadh, Deepak Parashar, and popular actress from south Ragini Shetty.
Life will never be the same again! Watch them every Monday to Thursday at 10.00 p. m and every Friday at 9.00 p.m only on Sony Entertainment Television
Meet your stars
Aryan Vaid, the hunk whom most women want to chase. Few know that this Hotel Leela chef ran his own catering business before he surprised all with his Mr India and Mr International titles. In fact he even worked as a flight purser with Sahara Airlines!
A fitness freak, and a state-level badminton champion, Aryan loves his daily workouts. He rates himself as a very good singer and loves karaoke bars. He loves branded items even buying second hand shoes from foreigners. So how is this man who hates liars, is not fond of animals, and is very selective about his friends going to live without his books and music?
Anupama Verma , the lovely model with the stunning fragile looks. What is this Delhi girl with an MBA degree in Finance and Marketing doing in this caper? Anupama , discovered by adman, Shantanu Sheorey, when she was only in the ninth standard . Her first modelling assignment was with none other than Shekhar Kapur for Digjam Suitings and since then has never looked back. Modelling, music video and films have been a way of life for this Channel V VJ. She acted in Grahan opposite Jackie Shroff and was recently seen in Padmashree Lalloo Prasad Yadav. Link-ups have dogged Anupama so will there be some spark this time too?
Bobby Darling isn't always a darling. Ran away from home at a very young age and travelled all over the world with a boyfriend. Was holed up in Moscow for three months for not having valid visa papers. However it is probably that religious side to her that saved her. Extremely ambitious by nature, Bobby has landed roles in Bollywood by sheer grit and today is the proud owner of two apartments in Mumbai. Not a bad achievement for one who started off as a bar dancer! Bobby loves to spend her free time grooming herself, watching television and movies. So what's Bobby going to do without any means of entertainment … entertaining others could be an option?
Carol Gracias is a foodie. She may have to befriend chef Aryan Vaid in order to survive in the Bigg Boss house. They seem to have a lot in common. Like him she is spooked by ghosts. She is afraid of darkness particularly in unfamiliar surroundings. She hates cats, loves dogs, hates being woken up from her beauty sleep, enjoys intellectual discussions, enjoys her drink and smoke. Does not mind sharing space and some clothes malfunction but is very private about her emotions. Enjoys doing the Sudoku every morning. And loves being a winner.
Kashmira Shah is an outdoors person .So what is she going to do cooped up inside this mansion ? That too without her cats and dog. She is an animal lover and will not entertain a non animal lover in her space. She is a cleanliness and control freak. She is scared of ghosts but loves to scare others too. A self-made person, she left home when she was barely 16 with just Rs 250 in her pocket. This ex-model and beauty queen has earned well for herself. Her forthcoming film Pappu Pass Ho Gaya is ready for release. It's worth watching how this impulsive spender is going to earn her keep.
Roopali Ganguly is a fun person who loves .people. She loves singing, playing cards and eating chocolates everyday. She loves animals and feels there should be a law prohibiting people having pets when they do not care for them. In fact she thinks those who don't like animals are abnormal One of her friends she insists lives with a ghost! She cannot cook to save her life but is obsessed about cleanliness and believes strongly that all domestic help should be treated well.
Rakhi Sawant needs no introduction. Gossip and controversy follow her wherever she goes. Her Mika controversy took over all newspaper headlines and made news on every television channel. She claims to be an item girl who should be allowed to wear clothes that she is comfortable in when she dances. Why do the keepers of law and order have a problem with that she wonders?
Ravi Kisshen, the superstar of Bhojpuri films is better known as the man in Nagma's life until recently. Now he plans to meditate on his past in this three-month break. This man from Jaunpur, Bihar, is married and is a father of three. Starting his acting career in Ram leelas in his village he has struggled in Bollywood for 16 years before Bhojpuri films came to his rescue. This believer of Lord Shiva claims to have conversations with Him! For a change could have conversations with Bobby darling instead.. on spiritual matters.
Rahul Roy was 24 when he did Ashiqui. He is 40 now. Nothing great happened in between. His biggest contribution to the film industry and the public was his hairstyle. Several films and serials later Rahul decided to turn producer but Lady Luck was not willing to smile on him. He returned to films after a break of 6 years. He also turned deeply religious after meeting Rajlakshmi Khanvilkar during the worst phase of his career Positivism is his asset.
Salil Ankola, the cricketer-cum-model-cum actor has become a household name after the popular serial Kora Kagaz where he acted opposite Renuka Shahane. Soon followed the action show he did for Star Plus where the suave actor also performed some daring stunts Between television and an occasional film Salil has kept himself busy. Reserved and a complete no nonsense person Salil says there's a side to him that very few people know. Will the Bigg Boss inmates actually see the other side of Salil?
Amit Sadh, who has acted in serials like Kyun Hota Hai Pyar on Star Plus and Kohinoor on Sahara One is confident of being in the Bigg Boss house for 3 full months. Three months seem a long time, especially without girlfriend Neeru. But Amit is all for fun and the excitement that will be a part of the show. So let's wait & watch how Amit really has the house on fire!
Ragini Shetty, the popular south Indian actress who has done several Kannada & Tamil films and is now looking for a break in Bollywood. She is in Bigg Boss for the love of adventure, the concept of the show and meeting other celebrities. Though the 28 cameras are not really a concern to her, she says she is going to miss long drives & her family. While she is looking forward to learning some interesting facts about her fellow inmates, Ragini hates people who are rude How well will this south Indian beauty blend with the other inmates of Bigg Boss house is something we have to wait and watch.
Deepak Parashar, has been a popular model and actor (49 serials,83 movies & 7000 fashion shows)who is a very familiar face among TV viewers. He says he is going to miss his wife, his co-star Amna Shariff and the popular show Kahin to Hoga and is looking forward to Bigg Boss as it is different. Though he loves watching TV and news, he is comfortable with the 28 cameras in the house. Senior among most of the inmates in Bigg Boss house will Deepak be able to keep all the 13 in harmony under one roof?
