Bigg Boss and the Big fight club

The media has been abuzz with the news of Kushal Tandon making a comeback in Bigg Boss Season 7 (Colors).
But the big question is if he will be let into the house in spite of him breaking an important rule.
For the uninitiated, Kushal was asked to leave after he hit his co-contestant VJ Andy. Reason?
Andy spoke about Kushal’s love interest Gauahar’s lingerie and undergarments. Kushal freaked out and went on a violent spree.
However, a contestant getting physical in the Bigg Boss house isn’t a new thing.
Why do we say so?
A lot of contestants have got physical with their housemates in the previous seasons of Bigg Boss. Below are a few examples…
Kamal Rashid Khan: The man who claimed to bathe in Bisleri water on national TV went on to hit designer Rohit Verma with a bottle in Bigg Boss Season 3.
Dolly Bindra: In rage of anger the sardarni went on to hit co-contestant Samir Soni with a rod in Bigg Boss Season 4.
Pooja Misrra: The ‘spare me’ woman kicked Siddharth Bharadwaj in Bigg Boss Season 5.
KRK was ousted from the show to never return but Dolly and Pooja got a second chance given their content creating abilities.
And who can forget the ever infamous Imam Siddique in the last season who scared the hell out of co contestant Aashka Goradia and created nuisance in the house. He went out, only to return and become a phenomenon.
Hence, fights are not a big deal in the show which is meant to survive on such negative emotions. Such is the demand of the masses.
We say, keep the fight on and enjoy watching Bigg Boss!!!

Synopsis: Day 54 Bigg Boss Season 7

Looks like the Bigg Boss housemates are now divided into two parties after the Rajneeti task. Both the parties are on a mission of targeting the members of the opposition party in order to prove their own superiority. Early in the day, Gauahar, Ajaz, Kamya and Pratyusha are seen seated in the garden area where they are discussing about the opposition group and pledge to maintain a distance from them in order to avoid further conflicts.
At the same time, the others are busy accusing Ajaz for offending Tanisha by taking off his shirt in her presence. An infuriated Tanisha goes straight to captain Elli and complains about Ajaz and his disrespectful behavior. Elli tries to solve this issue with Sangram’s help and asks Ajaz to follow the rules of the house. Armaan overhears this conversation and asks Elli to put this issue in front of Bigg Boss on Tanisha’s behalf.
Soon after this, Ajaz repeats the same mistake in Sofia’s presence who tells him to stop misbehaving and respect other people’s space. After their verbal spat, Pratyusha asks him to be a gentleman and not get instigated by anybody’s comments.
Later, Bigg Boss calls Sangram in the confession room and tells him that he needs to go through a lie detector test in order to clear his past record. Bigg Boss throws a volley of questions at him that puts Sangram in a fix. While he gets away with answering all of them, he is unaware of the fact that the housemates are noting his answers and categorizing them as ‘Sach’ or ‘Jhooth’. While most of the housemates do not agree with Sangram’s answers, Andy comes across as the devil’s advocate.
At the end of this process, Bigg Boss reveals to Sangram that the housemates were keeping a close check on all his answers and have expressed their opinion. When Sangram steps out, he finds Gauahar being unhappy with his two-faced behaviour. She tells Sangram that he can’t be diplomatic every time and needs to take a stance. While Sangram and Gauahar are having this argument, Sofia adds fuel to the fire by calling Gauahar a liar. Sofia gives reference of her statements to Asif, where she lied about Asif making a pass at her.
After a lot of emotional upheavals, Bigg Boss surprises everybody by bringing personalized messages from their family and friends. The housemates immediately get seated in front of the TV screen eagerly waiting to hear their messages. While Andy gets a visual treat with a video from his brother, Pratyusha gets a voice message from her parents. Armaan couldn’t contain his tears when he gets a voice message from his mother. Sangram receives a video message from his girlfriend that made him blush while Kamya was given the joy of watching her daughter sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. The day that started with fights and arguments finally ends on a happy note ending the ongoing emotional atyachaar in the house.

Contestants get emotional in Bigg Boss season 7; find out why...

Staying away from family and friends is a tough deal for the Bigg Boss inmates (Colors) and as weeks go by, they seem to get homesick and crave for their loved ones. While a few lucky housemates like Gauahar and Elli got a chance to meet their family members in the house, the rest are still longing for just a glimpse of their family. Granting their wish, Bigg Boss got them a few personalized video and audio messages arranged from their family members that made their joy know no bounds.
In the evening, Bigg Boss called Pratyusha in the confession room and asked her to read the letter regarding the ‘We Chat’ messages that will be displayed on a TV placed in the living area. When a buzzer would ring, they had to gather in the living area and wait for the message to be played. Andy got a video message from his brother, who then took him on a tour of his house and made him meet all his family members. Looking at his mother, Andy got very emotional and broke down. Next was an audio message from Pratyusha’s parents who wished her good luck in Bengali, wherein she couldn’t hold back her tears. To Sangram’s surprise, he got a video message from his girlfriend Payal Rohatgi that brought a 100 watt smile on his face. Armaan choked after he got a voice message from his mother who gave him lots of love and wishes in her message. Kamya had tears of joy in her eyes when she saw her small wonder sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in the video message.
Truly, it was an emotional and memorable experience for all the housemates that brought them strength and happiness for the day.
The episode will air tonight.

Salman perfect host for Bigg Boss: Apurva

Apurva Agnihotri, the latest to be ousted from the "Bigg Boss" house, praises Salman Khan for handling weird contestants and situations in the house as the host.


Apurva Agnihotri, the latest to be ousted from the "Bigg Boss" house, praises Salman Khan for handling weird contestants and situations in the house as the host.
"I believe that nobody else than Salman bhai can host this show. Believe me, it is very, very difficult to host the show," Apurva said in an interview.
Salman joined "Bigg Boss" in its fourth season and has been hosting it since. The show fetches good TRPs, thanks to the heightened drama, mud slinging, fights and emotions in the "Bigg Boss" house.
"There are all kinds of weird people and their answers are also weird, but Salman bhai has a great presence of mind. When he has to snub somebody, he does it the polite way and tells what should be done and what not.
"When it comes to doing 'masti', in that also he excels. I think he is the perfect host for the show," he added.
Apurva's elimination came right after Kushal Tandon's dismissal from the show. But he wants his good friend Kushal to re-enter the show and come out as a winner.
"The best thing about Kushal is that he presents himself the way he is. He is not pretentious at all. He is not acting," said Apurva, who had entered the "Bigg Boss" house with his wife Shilpa, who has been voted out too.
"He is not fighting or getting into a spat with others just for fun," he added.
Apurva, known for his TV shows such as "Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin" and "Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi", has other names that he feels might win the reality show.
"The second name I would prefer is Kamya (Punjabi). I think she is a perfect combination - she can be aggressive, but at the same time she can also take a stand for the correct thing. She can sternly give her opinion as well," Apurva said.
Bigg Boss Saath 7" went on air Sep 15.
Now Gauhar Khan, Tanisha Mukherjee, Elli Avram, VJ Andy, Kamya, Sangram Singh, Armaan Kohli, Pratyusha Banerjee and the three new entrants - Ajaz Khan, Candy Brar and Sophia Hayat are fighting for survival in the house.

Gauahar and Tanisha...All's Not Well In Paradise!

After Gauahar and Tanisha’s fallout a couple of weeks ago, the tension between them seems to be rising with every passing day.



Known to be the biggest foes in the Bigg Boss house this season, Gauahar and Tanisha do not miss any chance to take a dig at each other. As the second leg of the Rajneeti task commences, Bigg Boss asks the contestants to come together for a debate session between the two opposing parties. As a part of the debate, one representative from each party was required to come forward and shed some light on the strengths and weaknesses of their opposition party. While Gauahar spoke on behalf of Kamya's party, Andy spoke for Elli's team.
During the course of the debate, Gauahar explained to the other contestants how Sangram had failed as a leader and no longer represented the right side. Hearing this, Tanisha interrupted Gauahar and made some personal remarks about Gauahar by calling her a cook' which in turn offended Gauahar. Not one to remain silent, Gauahar asked Tanisha to stay quiet and not speak about her. Tanisha, to this, quipped that she was only using her Freedom of Speech and that nobody had the right to stop her from doing so. Gauahar and Tanisha further engaged in an intense verbal spat following which Gauahar decided to stop cooking for the housemates and even asks Kamya to do the same.
With the dynamics of relationships changing every day inside the Bigg Boss house, it remains to be seen if Tanisha Mukherjee and Gauhar Khan will ever become friends...

"I have a feeling that Kushal will come back in the show"

Says Kushal's dearest friend and contestant Apurva Agnihotri, who got eliminated from the house last week. TellyBuzz got in a conversation with Apurva Agnihotri to know about his stay in the house and much more.


The talented and handsome actor Apurva Agnihotri who entertained the audience with his acting skills in movies and television, was seen as a contestant in the reality show Bigg Boss Saath 7 on Colors. He managed to entertain the viewers in the reality show along with his wife Shilpa Saklani.
Last week we saw his elimination from the show, which left rest of the contestants in the house in a state of shock as he was a much loved contestant by all. But well it seems that Apurva is very happy with his elimination. On the same we got in touch with him to know more about his journey in the Bigg Boss house and much more.
Here is Apurva Agnihotri unplugged.

Apurva seems to be very happy on his elimination from the house, as he says, "I am happy and delighted that I got eliminated at such a time where I could spend quality time together with my family as it was the occasion of Diwali."

Further elaborating his experience of staying in the Bigg Boss Saath 7 house he adds, "My stay in the Bigg Boss house was a roller coaster ride. Undoubtedly I enjoyed the ride. But after Shilpa got eliminated I was very much upset. Also I told all the housemates too, to vote me out as I wanted to get back home, I was missing my puppy, mother and Shilpa very much."

Heaven was a stress buster for him says Apurva, "After Shilpa left me alone in the house my only stress buster was Heaven, in fact he was a stress buster for each and every contestant in the house. I am totally a dog lover and I was very happy to have Heaven in the house."

Apurva says that he did not take up the reality show to win it, but just as an experience, "I took up the reality show Bigg Boss more for an experience rather than to win the show. I had my share of experience and I am happy to be back to my normal life."

According to Apurva the strongest contenders in the house are, "The strongest contenders in the house who have a chance to win the show are Gauhar Khan and Kamya Punjabi. Also Kushal Tandon, who is currently not in the house, but I have a feeling that he will go back in the house. I wish that he does so and also wins the show."

When we asked Apurva about the recent spat between Kushal and Andy due to which Kushal had to exit from the Bigg Boss house, this is what he had to say, "According to me it was absolutely Andy's fault. Any guy who would have had been in Kushal's place would have had done what Kushal did with Andy. I totally support Kushal and I wish to see him soon on the show."

About the wild card entries in the house he said, "The new wild card entries are also really nice and fun to be around with. I wish them all the luck for the show."

Further we also asked him about the weekend episode with Salman Khan. The episode where Kushal, Gauhar, Tanisha and Armaan were spoken about the most as there was a fight between Tanisha and Kushal due to the task. Salman Khan seemed very angry. About the same Apurva said, "Well, no comments on that episode at all."

We wish Apurva Agnihotri all the very best for his future endeavors.

Sangram and Armaan's verbal duel in Bigg Boss

Sangram has come across as a clean-hearted and caring guy ever since he first entered the Bigg Boss house (Colors). But the recent incidents have not been in his favor and have been caught in a storm of allegations. Sangram has been caught red-handed many a times for changing his statements in order to continue to be in the good books of everybody.
After Bigg Boss introduced the Rajneeti task, Sangram and Kamya were asked to be leaders and form their own political parties. They were also asked to deliver an opening speech based on which the housemates were asked to decide whether they wanted to support Sangram or Kamya. However, during the task contestants had the liberty to change their party if they were not satisfied with their leader. Armaan who was initially supporting Sangram’s party decided to switch to the other party when he realized that he had been diplomatic while never taking a stand for anything. When Sangram tried to convince him to come back, Armaan told him that he is a big liar and a two-faced person who has never taken a stand for any of his friends. During the course of their conversation, Armaan also brought up the topic of nominations where he claimed that Sangram had tried to plot with him to vote against a few contestants. But Sangram denied this allegation and instead put all the blame on Armaan leading to a heated argument.
Kamya and Gauahar tried to control the situation but the two hot-heads did not pay heed to them and continued fighting with each other. With the game of Bigg Boss getting intense with every passing day, the contestants are now no longer willing to mince words and stay diplomatic. Where will this lead?
Keep watching the show!!!

Bigg Boss Season Saath 7 – Synopsis: Day 51

After the joyful celebrations of Diwali, the housemates are very relaxed and pumped as they wake up in the morning.
Around breakfast, Tanisha and Armaan discuss the way the show is progressing. At this point, Tanisha conveys to Armaan that she is upset with his behaviour and asks him to respect the housemates. Ajaz tries to butt-into the conversation, only to be told off by Tanisha and Armaan states that Ajaz is playing a dirty game. Upset by Armaan’s behaviour, Ajaz tells Sangram that Armaan constantly fights with everyone.
At noon, the luxury task for the week, ‘Rajneeti’ is announced. According to the rules of the game, the house will be split into two parties being led by different leaders – Kamya and Sangram. The other housemates will be remain neutral and join a party of their choice. If they are dissatisfied by their leader, the housemates are given the authority to change them if they manage to gain a majority of three votes. The leaders are also asked to deliver a speech to encourage more people to join their party. There is an air of excitement among the contestants because this task will help to differentiate between real friends and game players.
After the speech, most of the contestants were seen influenced by Sangram because he has maintained good relationships with everyone. The first switch of the day was Sofia who moved to Kamya’s party once Gauahar convinced her otherwise. In order to entice more people to join her party, Kamya approaches Armaan while offering him complete leadership of her party. Finding this as an incredible opportunity to showcase his leadership skills, Armaan makes the move as well.
Sangram, being quite naïve, did not attempt to stop Armaan, because he felt that this was Armaan’s plan to bring Sofia back to their party. Understanding this, Gauahar revealed to Armaan that Sangram informed them about the planning that took place before meeting with Salman. Misunderstanding that Sangram blamed him; Armaan confronts Sangram and fights with him. Sangram tries to get Armaan to understand what was said, but Armaan rubbishes him off.
As the situation goes out of hand, the housemates intervene and separate Sangram and Armaan. Once in different rooms, Armaan gets upset with Tanisha because she did not stand up for him. He pushes her off, but Tanisha reminds him that she did stand up for him, but it was a large group against him because of which she couldn’t be loud.
With the task giving the contestants an opportunity to openly play the Bigg Boss games; it will be interesting to see if the friendships and animosities will survive till the end.

Spooky n Uncanny with Shamin Mannan!

Rapid fire with Shamin Mannan

Do you believe in supernatural?
Yes, I kind of believe in supernatural because if there are positive energies then there are negative energies also. There are energies which we can't see but they might be existing for sure.
Craziest horror story you have ever heard as a kid?
I have heard a lot of horror stories. The craziest horror story I have heard is from my grandfather which he says has happened to him but I never used to believe him. He used to say that once he was going on a bicycle when he was a teenager when a black cat jumped over the cycle and she held the cycle so tightly that he could not move the cycle further. Then his father came and he talked to the cat and then the cat ran away from there. I don't know how much it was true but it was quite funny. As a kid, I used to believe it and he used to narrate that story to me most of the times. I used to get scared while listening to this story from him. He also used to show me the point of that road where this incident took place which used to scare me every more and I used to avoid taking that route while going somewhere.
Have you ever had a brush with uncanny?
No, I haven't seen anything like that. 2-3 years back in my house in Malad, I used to feel like things were not working out properly in whatever I wished to do. I also used to get scared while staying in that house. This has been the uncanny thing for me.
When have you been the most scared?
In the Malad house only because one day I felt like someone is there inside the house because I saw a shadow passing by which scared me.
Favorite horror movie?
The Exorcism and Grudge; these two movies scared me so much that I couldn't even stay alone in the room during day time.
Horror dare?
I try to dare myself only; there is a beach in Gujarat which is said to be haunted as I have read it on the net. It comes in one of the most haunted places of India. I went there for an event and I wanted to visit that beach but my sister was so scared that she didn't allow me to go there. I couldn't fulfill that dare till now; it's yet to get fulfilled.

Apurva Agnihotri gets eliminated from Bigg Boss Season 7

Actor Apurva Agnihotri, who is still remembered for his role in Subhash Ghai’s movie Pardes, emerged as a very docile character in Bigg Boss’ current season (Colors). He entered the house along with his wife Shilpa Saklani, who later got eliminated.
Apurva, also a renowned television actor, was liked by many for being calm and composed in the show. But given the nature of the show, a contestant who creates maximum ruckus gets the highest votes and stays in the house.
Thus, the artist will be seen moving out of the show in tonight’s (2 November 2013) episode.
Many believe that since Shilpa’s early exit, Apurva entered more into the shell.
Whatever be it, Apurva is out and we wish him all the luck for future!!!

Once my wife Shilpa was evicted I was lost in the Bigg Boss house: Apurva Agnihotri

Apurva Agnihotri is just happy that he is back home for Diwali after a longish stint in Bigg Boss season 7 (Colors).
“It is Diwali. And who wouldn’t want to be home on this occasion? I can’t say I regret being in Bigg Boss House. It was a learning experience for me, especially since I learnt how to control my temper in an environment where people were constantly losing their temper,” says Apurva with a chuckle, adding that his wife’s departure (Shilpa Saklani) from Bigg Boss was a turning point in his association with the show.
“Once my wife Shilpa was evicted I was lost in there. We both went in together and it was Shilpa’s presence in Bigg Boss that convinced me to go in. Once she was out I was mentally preparing myself to leave at the first opportunity.”
Recalling the experience of being on Bigg Boss with all sorts of contestants Apurva says, “It was a once in a lifetime experience. Never before and never again! I was determined not to lose my temper, no matter what. I do have a temper problem. But I lose it only when provoked beyond endurance.”
Ironically it was Apurva’s wife Shilpa who lost her cool. “Yes, it did happen once. Shilpa did lose her cool with Armaan Kohli and Asif Azim. We were being pushed around and she couldn’t take it. I think Shilpa remembered a situation from a few years back when we were similarly bullied. She retaliated. But neither Shilpa nor I hold any grudges. It was all part of the game. I have no ill feelings towards any of the Bigg Boss inmates. I will probably throw a party for all of them once the show is over.”
Any particular friends in there?
Apurva mentions Kushal Tandon, Gauahar Khan, Kamya Punjabi and Pratyusha Banerjee as his special friends in Bigg Boss. “Ant Shilpa just loves Andy. They’ve become friends for life.”
Looking back Apurva sees the Bigg Boss stint in a dream-like curve. “I could almost create a screenplay out of the characters and incidents. I was very sure I’d be myself in the Bigg Boss house. I was never acting.
And when Shilpa left I was already writing the screenplay for my exit from Bigg Boss. Now I can’t wait to get home.”
Any immediate plans? “Yup, Shilpa and I will go for a holiday. Where, how, when..I’ll let her decide. I always let her take the decisions.”
