The big announcement has been made with <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/big-b-host-bigg-boss-3>Amitabh Bachchan</a> all set to host Bigg Boss 3. The next thing on everyone’s mind is who’ll be the contestants. As always, this is a period of intense speculation with every media report naming probable contestants.

Yesterday, we reported on celebs like Raja Chaudhary, <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k9/feb/6feb/news_monica.php>Monica Bedi</a>, Kashmira Shah making an appearance in <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/bigg-boss-team-back>Anurag Basu's</a> show for Sahara One. Well, there is a correction and more clarity on the show. Firstly, the show in question is Anubhav Sinha's <em>Mr and Mrs. Mishra</em> - which is a fiction show. These celebrities will be making special appearances on the show. Secondly, Anurag Basu's got nothing to do with this show.

Noted director Anurag Basu marks his return to TV with a show that’s tipped to air on Sahara One. Controversial celebs like <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/news/raja-chaudhary-chanda-kanoon>Raja Chaudhary</a>, <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k9/feb/6feb/news_monica.php>Monica Bedi</a>, <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k9/jan/5jan/news_comedy.php>Payal Rohatgi</a>, <a href=http://www.tellychakkar.com/y2k9/apr/27apr/news_aryan.php>Aryan Vaid</a> and Kashmira Shah are part of this show.

<strong>A page from the personal diary of Shilpa Shetty</strong> In London for some work and my first priority wanting to meet Jade, which is why I pre-poned my visit. I always felt she and I were connected in a strange way. I believe she was a catalyst and the architect of my fame in Britain. I feel terrible for what she had to go through after the show, and I screamed my lungs hoarse to save the situation but in vain. Anyways, life brought us together again through Bigg Boss and that’s where we met and spoke after two years.

The result of <em> Bigg Boss 2</em> has shocked not just the public but also the evicted contestants. While it would be easy to label them as sore losers, there is some merit in their criticism over the choice of the finalists. Zulfi Syed, the second runner-up, had triggered a controversy when he reportedly alleged that Rahul Mahajan had rigged the final. Since then other evictees too have voiced their displeasure over<em> Bigg Boss </em>. Ahsaan Qureshi is the latest contestant to slam the show.

<em>'Bigg Boss</em>' participants Zulfi Syed, Rahul Mahajan, Rakhi Vijan and Raja Choudhary had just landed at a five star in Santacruz, Mumbai, when the shattering noise of a bomb blast shook them and members of the media, at a party thrown by Zulfi Syed, to celebrate the culmination of the popular reality show. It came to be known that a taxi had exploded just two buildings away from the hotel, on the Western Express Highway and nearby the domestic airport. "It was a very sad and grim experience," said Zulfi. "I wish the world can learn to live in harmony," he added with a sigh.

Season one finalist Ravi Kissen will make a guest appearance in <em> Bigg Boss 2</em> from tonight. The actor had earlier told to us in an interview that he would be required for a day at the Bigg Boss house. Talking about his role, a source says, “Raviji has already left for Lonavala and he’ll be entering the house tonight by 7.00 pm. He’ll be spending 24 hours with the finalists and will also perform after stepping out of the house. All this is part of the grand finale that will be aired on 22 November.”

With <em> Bigg Boss 2 </em> set to close on 22 November, Colors have lined up couple of shows as its replacement. One of the new shows that will replace <em> Bigg Boss </em> is Cinevistaas’ <em> Jaane Kya Baat Hui </em> which stars Shweta Tiwari and Sanjeet Bedi.

<em> Bigg Boss 2</em> seems to have knack of upsetting political groups. First it was the Republican Party of India activists who went on a rampage at the Colors’ office in wake of their party president being snubbed by <em> Bigg Boss </em>. Now, it’s the Mumbai Youth Congress Committee who have lodged a complaint of indecency against<em> Bigg Boss</em>. Following their complaint an FIR was registered by the Lonavala Police Station against three contestants – Rahul Mahajan, Payal Rohatgi and Sambhavna Seth.
