Bollywood Fun Masti

By Rohit S
Amitabh Bachchan, the Big B is back on the television with the most popular reality show, Big Boss Season 3 or Tritiya as Big B kept calling it. The first episode was aired on Sunday Night (October 4), with a lot of drama and surprises.

The show began with some of the famous dialogues of Amitabh Bachchan. It appeared as if Amitabh was the perfect host for this show as the superstar was at his best as always. Amitabh spoke in chaste hindi, quoted from his father's poetry, did a bit of flirting and even interacted with the family members of the contestants.

The contestants of Big Boss season 3 are:

Ismail Darbar (music director)
Sherlyn Chopra (formerly known as Mona Chopra, Indian model, singer and actress)
Poonam Dhillion (Ex Miss India)
Raju Srivastav (Comedian)
Vindu Dara Singh (Muscleman, son of Dara Singh)
Kamal Khan (Actor, director, writer - famous for his film Deshdrohi)
Tanaz (actor and dancer)
Bakhtiyar Irani (actor, dancer and Tanaz's husband)
Aditi Govitrikar (ex model, doctor and had participated in Khatron ke Khiladi 1)
Shamita Shetty (Shilpa Shetty's sister and a flop actress)
Claudia Ciesla (German model and featured in movie Marigold with Salman Khan)
Rohit Verma (Ostensibly efferminate designer - dressed in a flowing black gown, with thick eye lashes and lipstick)
Jaya Sawant (Mother of Item girl, drama queeen - Rakhi Sawant)

These are the 13 final contestants of Big Boss 3 who would be staying together for 84 days. The inclusion of a married couple, Rakhi Sawant's mother, a desinger in drag, the jail which would be used for punishing the housemates and a chance for the viewers to be a part and be inside the Big Boss;s house as the 14th member are few of the surprises. It is believed that Navjot Sidhu was to be the 14th conestant but after his backing out at the last moment, colors came up with having a normal individual as the 14th contestant in the show.

The contestants of Big Boss 3 already started showing what their intent was. Kamal Khan made a few comments about the way some of the women were wearing. Ismail Darbar kept walking quietly and even ignored Sherlyn when she made an entry. Vindu Dara Singh was quite enthusiatic and was seen greeting everyone, the same way Rahul Mahajan did in the season 2. Sherlyn Chopra was having a problem untying her choli and made a big deal out of it. But this time for a change, the camera doesnt follow her but she ensured that she was following the camera. Rohit Verma called himself a Hiroshima Nagasaki bomb and asked the inmates whether he should use the men's or women's bedroom. In the end he chose the men's room.

Jaya Sawant had told Amitabh that no one invited her to her daughter Rakhi's swayamvar. She said that her own had deserted her but colors and big boss had gracefully accepted her and she was very happy about it. She also admited that it was her first time she had taken part on a show or even made an appearance on the stage and it was quite obvious in the house also as she looked very much out of the place due to lack of skills and interaction with the inmates.

Most of the contestants did not miss the chance to thank Amitabh and launched a series of Amitabh's incidents and memories.

With Amitabh as the anchor, the Big Boss season 3 will surely be a treat to watch. It is very hard to predict who will be the winner og Big Boss 3 at this stage, but from the first episode it appears that Jaya Sawant would have to adjust herself well with the inmates if she wants to stay longer in Big boss's house.
