Looking at her behaviour and attitude, it looks as if she will rock again. Lets see how things gonna be here with her, becuz Hindi could be her problem
Considering that gruesome drama, backbiting and a lot of bitching is the USP of the show,
these controversial people fit the bill perfectly.
It‘s said that BIGG BOSS had approached all the possible controversial newsmakers. Aamir Khan‘s brother Faisal Khan, Jhanvi- the girl who tried to kill herself during the Ash-Abhishek wedding. Sherlyn Chopra, the Item Girl, who wanted cameras in bathrooms too.
BB-2, presents the unique combination of these 14 handpicked strangers will be locked in a house…REAL people, REAL emotions and REAL drama vie with each other to survive in the BB-2 house, irritation, backbiting and backstabbing for 12 weeks brings out the best and worst in the contestants as they tussle to cope with the social pressure cooker until the bitter end stands a chance of winning the title and the cash prize of Rs 75 Lakhs!
