You will say, Big Boss has come a long way from Season 1 (Arshad Warsi, 2006-07), Season 2 (Shilpa Shetty, 2008) and now to Season 3 (Amitabh Bachchan, 2009). The show began on Oct 4 2009.
The contestants themselves are the show’s biggest minuses. It’s the greed probably for Rs 1 crore amount and phookat ka publicity for out of work actors.
Empty idle vessels are making much noise (bass). It is there to see and smell (baas) for a little over a week.
Hour long each day is a torture not everyone can bear. Suffice it to say, it is a big let down.
Aditi Govtrikar (33): (Physician) Dr. Sarah Muffazal Lakdawala (Aditi’s married name) is probably the sensible of the lot. She presents a stable and smiling picture. She left us wondering why she was on the show. She too looks tired and is content being in her corner. Then why be on the show. Aren’t her patients waiting? Hmm. BORE!
Bakhtiyar M Irani (35): (TV Serial Actor) This is sure to be his road to fame. He may not get a hero’s role but who know Bollywood will become aware of his presence on Planet Earth. Otherwise as of now he’s who-who (not Who’s Who). SCHOOLISH
Claudia Ciesla (22): (German Model) Her association with Salman Khan gave her instant recognition. She is trying to establish herself in Bollywood. In a foreign land, she makes us proud speaking in Hindi (We Indians should learn from her). She makes no bones about the show bringing her exposure. She is frank and forthright. She refused to say the three words to cheapster Kamal Khan as it would be a lie. She has won many hearts with her smile and easy going nature. CLASS WINNER!
Ismail Darbar (50): (Bollywood Musician) He began well with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) and Devdas (2002). Now he is left with gracing dance and music shows on TV. Was there anything great about him? Not really. Never. If his current appearance is anything to go by. Passing cheap remarks and guffawing (that irks viewers), he should gracefully voluntarily withdraw from the show. YUCK!
Jaya Sawant (50): (Rakhee’s mom) She has been evicted. Never mind. What mattered was the ghati came across as selfless and truthful when others were all pretence and floss. Wish she remained on the show. She did provide a reason for the show to be interesting - the others continually bitched (about her). She is better off the show. Neither the show nor its contestants are worth her. KUDOS!
Kamal Rashid Khan (34): (Bhojpuri Actor) The cheapster of the lot, his intro came with his first release Desh Drohi (2008). The film received the “Lajja Award for Worst Treatment of a Serious Issue Award” at the Golden Kela Awards. If that was not enough, he is on the show wanting Claudia Ciesla to say “I Love You” to him. And then he went on a bhook hartaal until she utters the golden words. Guess what! In the dead of the night, he eats chori chori chupke chupke when everyone is asleep. DHONGI NO 1.
Poonam Dhillon (46): (Yesteryear Bollywood Actress) Currently a businesswoman, it is surprising she could find time for the show. More surprisingly what made her decide on this crass show? Probably she was reminiscing the past glory. Couldn’t find any impact she leaves on the viewers looking tired and plump. YAWN!
Raju Shrivastav (45): (Comedian) The bawdiest of the lot, he sings all vulgar songs with double meaning entendres. His acting and comedy leaves a lot to be desired for. CRASS!
Rohit Verma (40): (Fashion Designer) Wish s/he remained in the fashion field only. Is he a gay or Number 9 or… Who/What is s/he? Rather why is he (there)? Wish he could vanish in thin air. (But not all wishes come true.) Could someone nominate him soon? Please. EEKS!
Shamita Shetty (29): (Bolly Actress) Better known as Shilpa’s sister, she is the fakest of the lot. Although being from South India, she claims to have never eaten rice! And poor her! She has to make do with lot less on the show when she is used to better things in life. Could she tell us, then why is she on the show. Bitching is her main job. With no movies on hand (a la Shilpa) isn’t it good to get free publicity and a chance to win too? FAKE!
Sherlyn Chopra (25): (Bollywood actress) (!?!) known for her hot and nearly nude scenes is strangely fully covered. Appearing in B-grade movies, she strangely looked married (with sindoor) and expecting (a baby) too. She must work on public relations and networking. Keeping secluded hardly helps on a reality show. SHIT!
Tannaz B Irani (37): (TV Actress) We all were shocked when she along with her husband Bakhtiyar handed over their baby to the host to be on the show. No show on earth is worth missing out on one’s helpless care-needing baby. She comes across as an indifferent mother. Both can apply for Worst Parents’ Award (if there is one). Disappear disappear. SHOCKER!
Vindu Dara Singh (50): (TV/Bolly Actor). He is better known as Dara Singh’s son and earlier as Farah Naz’s husband. Age-wise he is Jaya Sawant’s equal (and Rakhee’s dad, ha ha!). Wearing a wig doesn’t hide the reality. And his buck teeth make him (Tinnu Anand’s brother and) a specimen worth preserving a museum. Fighting and using foul language comes natural to him on the show. He should be kicked out soon to come back to his senses thereby landing firmly on earth. FOUL!
Amitabh Bachchan (67): (Host/Actor) He turned 67 yesterday and wishes to continue acting till 80 (!) Did he think the viewers wish to learn chaste Hindi from the show? Couldn’t understand the garble he went on with. His contribution to the show – his name. Anyone can host this show better instead of the boring way he is holding it. He should do it for his personal benefit and not on the reality show. Not when he is being paid Rs 125 crore for hosting it. GAWD!
BIG BOSS (SEASON 3): Summing Up:
My take would be:
Claudia Ciesla
Vindu Dara Singh
Poonam Dhillon
Bakhtiyar M Irani
Aditi Govitrikar
Raju Shrivastav
Shamita Shetty
Rohit Verma
Tannaz B Irani
Ismail Darbar
Sherlyn Chopra
Kamal Rashid Khan
Jaya Sawant
This show is strictly NOT recommended for adults and kids alike for the amount of foul language and fights on the show. The channel should do something about it instead of just deleting/muting the sound. There is no fun or entertainment. Rather the kids will end up learning the worst.
It will be 13 episodes for over three months. The animals in this zoo are all wild and whacky. Bahut baas maarta hai. Do you have the time? Better still, do you have something better to do? GOOD!
