Day 17 in the Bigg Boss house was an eventful one. It started with Vikas’ team strategizing their war plan against Puneesh’s team in the Luxury Budget Challenge, moving on to delectable goodies baked by Sabyasachi and finally, towards the end of the day – Diwali sweets by Bigg Boss.

Early in the morning, Vikas is seen in jail. He is visibly agitated, and now with Arshi alongside him, he asks her to help him in his team’s challenge against team Puneesh. He clearly hasn’t been able to get over the events of the previous day. He asks Arshi to get two boxes – and gloves. He dons the rubber gloves, and gets all set to start collecting insects. He keeps the dead insects in one box and all live ones in the other.

While he’s doing this, Hina is seen speaking to the team members about how they will not give the other team any time to recuperate between attacks – there will be a constant onslaught. Hina will follow her plan to the T.

As the day progresses, on popular demand, Sabyasachi bakes an apple pie and a special cake for the contestants, which is loved by everyone. They all wish each other Happy Diwali. Hugs and kisses are passed around – some warmer and more affectionate than the others.
They even take the pie to the Kaal Kothri and offer it to the inmates; the love in the air is palpable.

Bigg Boss even sends sweets to the contestants, after all – they’ve been his guests for over two weeks now. They are all smiles when the beautiful gift wrapping is opened, and the sweets are revealed. They feed each other, and even offer cake and pie to Bigg Boss.

One of the most controversial contestants on ‘Bigg Boss 11’, Arshi Khan, has grabbed headlines yet again, and this time, it is for her past antics. An old video of Arshi Khan with her female friend has gone viral online and social media users have criticised the clip for being ‘vulgar’ and ‘cheap’. Here’s a screenshot from the video doing the rounds on social media:

In the ‘Bigg Boss 11‘ house, Arshi Khan has created quite a stir with her loud behaviour. She has had ugly spats with Hina Khan, Sapna Choudhary and Shilpa Shinde in the house. Even host and superstar Salman Khan has warned Arshi Khan about her abusive language in the ‘Bigg Boss 11’ house.

Arshi Khan is not new to controversies. Arshi Khan has been making headlines for her alleged association with Shahid Afridi for the last few years. On September 8, 2015, Arshi tweeted about her relationship with Shahid Afridi. “Yes, I had sex with Afridi! Do I need the Indian media’s permission to sleep with someone? It’s my personal life. For me it was love,” Arshi Khan tweeted. Following the revelation, a fatwa was issued against Arshi Khan by a mufti from a Madrassa in Pakistan. Arshi Khan had also received threat calls following her admission of having sex with Shahid Afridi.

In 2016, Arshi Khan claimed that she was pregnant, a statement that sparked rumours of Shahid Afridi being the father of her baby. Arshi Khan, however, didn’t clarify at that time if Shahid Afridi was the father of her child. Later, in an interview, Arshi Khan, denied being pregnant.

Last year, a video of her stripping naked for cricketers had gone viral online. Arshi Khan has done several photo shoots, with many of them creating a stir online for nudity. One of Arshi Khan’s most controversial photo shoots has been the one where she stuck pictures of Pakistani cricketers on her chest.

Arshad Warsi has put to words a notion that has, until now, only circulated in the media circuit through hushed whispers. “The [Bigg Boss] show is down market,” he says, alluding to the Salman Khan-hosted reality series that is now in its 11th season. The poor quality of the programme, which sees celebrities reside in a specially-constructed house for approximately 90 days, has been topic of discussion over the past few years.

“People on the show, I hear, are tacky,” says Warsi, who hosted the first season in 2006. “I haven’t seen this season, but I’ve heard about it. The channel is attempting to boost the ratings by showcasing the things that sell. And thus, morality is taking a backseat,” he says, alluding to the recent crop of participants, who, inarguably, turn to violence and misbehaviour to garner attention. Warsi calls the makers of the controversial show “businessmen”, who are not attempting to make the world better with their offering. Joining the likes of several actors and producers in blaming the audience for the worsening quality of content on TV, Warsi says, “People enjoy watching crass, and the channel is merely serving it. The content showcased on Indian television is regressive. The day people change, their taste [in content], the narrative of the shows will also change. If the world wants to see sensible people in the house, the channel will oblige. The audience wants to see dramatic people, those who fight, hit and abuse.” The suggestion, however, may seem debatable, given that the downfall of the show came to fore last week, when it failed to procure a spot on BARC’s top five TV shows, which saw Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaun Banega Crorepati ace the list.

An adaptation of the British sitcom, Big Brother, the Indian version, Warsi says, was not created with the intention of merely drawing attention. “The concept back then was to understand the psyche of people and notice the developments that occur when they are made to reside in a house, isolated from the world. No one wanted to cause any trouble. There was no nudity or violence demanded in the clause.”

Given that the drama unfolded only towards the latter half of the series, the makers decided to rearrange the format, Warsi suggests. “When you meet new individuals, you can be cordial for a week. Then, you discover their traits. When good behaviour wears out, the dynamics change. It takes time for people to reach that stage. But, now the channel wants immediate TRP success, so they are consciously sending nutcases into the house.”

The weekend is here and we can’t wait to see Salman Khan dealing with the contestants of one of the most popular TV shows in India. This week in the Bigg Boss house has seen everything from messy fights, diplomacy to controversy. You name an issue and you will find it taking place in the BB house.

For the first time in Bigg Boss, in just two weeks, contestants have already started planning and plotting and taking things to extreme levels. While some are playing the victim card to gain sympathy, some don’t mind getting filthy and downright dirty.

Bigg Boss(c) Colors

We bet you already want to know what’s in store for you guys in tonight’s episode and we’re giving you the latest scoop. As if it wasn’t already enough, we are going to witness yet another cat-fight between two contestants who are already stealing all the limelight in the past few episodes.

It looks like Arshi Khan and Sapna Chaudhary can’t stay out of each other’s way, even for a minute. Just when you think they are tempering down, things just keep getting worse.  

We all know Vikas Gupta is the first captain of the house and he has sent Hina Khan to the kaalkothari. Joining her were Arshi and Sapna. Everything was fine until the two had a big fight, sabotaging the entire session.

Bigg Boss (c) Colors

Yes, you heard us right; the two will have a messy fight inside the kaalkothari. Things will get so intense that the other contestants inside the house have to intervene. And we don’t think they will be surprised to see who caused it.

Having said that, wouldn’t it be interesting to see Salman losing his patience over the incident? After all, didn’t Bhaijaan warn our contestants the last time? But, it looks like they like playing with fire. All we can say is, ‘God save you from Salman’s wrath’.

Bigg Boss 11 is doing just what it promised by giving us the much-required entertainment dose every night. You might not like the filthy fights but you just can’t ignore the show for whatsoever reasons.

The royal task of pursuing King Hiten is the main agenda in the house at present. Both Arshi and Shilpa are fighting their best as queens to chase the emperor. But there is a lot more cooking inside the BB house. We are warning you not to miss tonight’s episode as we promise you guaranteed entertainment!

The big fight is finally here and it is going to get pretty dirty. You won’t just witness one spat but a double dose of drama tonight. As the house welcomes new days, the temper level rises too with Arshi getting into a vulgar fight with both Sapna and Mehjabi.

Giving us an insight into what to expect, a close source from the Bigg Boss team shared an exciting snippet of information with us.

Playing the queen’s role, Arshi will be seen daydreaming about her wedding with Hiten and Sapna will bash her thoughts into bits by passing a sneaky remark. Arshi will eventually demean Sapna calling her a ‘Nacchnewali’ and that’s how the lightning will strike. Using Arshi’s own technique, Sapna will follow her around the house singing all the while…coming up with some original lyrics. Well Arshi, what goes around comes around!  

But even for a while, if you thought Sapna was the calm one, you are totally going to see her in a new avatar. She will share her intentions that she is all set to get physical when the time comes. And here we thought she was a cute lil’ kitten!

Nevertheless, Sapna isn’t the only one having a hard time dealing with Arshi. Joining the list now is Mehjabi. She will reveal how Arshi’s language and actions are creating negativity in the house. Things will get beyond control and Mehjabi will give a warning asking her to stay in her limits or the consequences of it will be beyond her imagination.

Now where is a tall glass of water when you need one? Oh this is going to be a scorcher indeed. Can’t wait to see what Arshi does this time to piss off the other contestants!

Everyone’s favourite show ‘Bigg Boss’ is gearing up to make a comeback and fans are already frothing at the mouth. The 11th season of the show premieres on October 1st, and we bet many of you are already clearing your schedules to be able to catch the show, religiously.

 From saucy gossip, flights, love stories, flirting, intimacy, conspiracies and so much more, ‘Bigg Boss’ is all about entertainment, entertainment, and a little more entertainment for good measure! Love it or hate it, the show has a huge fan following and consistently earns insane ratings. And since Salman Khan started hosting it, the numbers have pretty much tripled!

Scripted or not, BB is one of those shows that you’ll be talking about with your colleagues as if the contestants are your family mates. The more you watch the show, the more you start falling for the on-screen drama. Soon, you’ll have the contestant you hate, a contestant you sympathise with and the one you truly want to bag the BB title.

Just yesterday, we gave you all the details on what is going to be happening inside the most watched house in the country and today we are back with the first look of the house.

Right from the time we first saw the promos for the show, all we can talk about is the house. Finally, the channel has shared a scintillating first look of the house, making us wish we could take a walk around the pad ourselves!

Doesn’t that look grand? But then we don’t expect anything less from the producers of the show. Like every season, here’s the celestial, destiny-changing Jacuzzi! Because in the BB house, a lot can happen in the jacuzzi (geddit?).

For the first time, we will have an underground jail with literally no amenities except a string cot in the house, which we can’t wait to check out. It’s almost time to let the familiar chants ring again, “Bigg Boss chahte hai……”

‘Bigg Boss’ is all set to return to our television screens with a bang and fans just can’t keep calm for their favourite reality show to air soon. The 11th season of the show will see Bollywood Sultan Salman Khan taking the reign and hosting the show like never before.

Okay. Time to spill the details about what all is going to happen inside the most watched house:

Juicy Intel About The Bigg Boss House This Year© Colors

1. Gharwale and Padosi is Bigg Boss 11’s theme and there will not only be housemates but also neighbours in the BB house this year.

2. Salman Khan is said to play the role of a peacemaker among the neighbours, which totally means we will get to see more of him this time. Bhaijaan living much closer to the contestants is something we haven’t seen before.

3. In order to give us more masala and entertainment factor, we will see the common man and celebrities contesting against each other to survive in the house for over 100 days.

4. 90 cameras to keep a tab on every contestant’s move, because BB se bachna muskil hi nahi namumkin hai! Also to give viewers the complete experience.

5. Just like the previous houses, the contestants will have a full-fledged gym, a jacuzzi, a pool and a round shape dinner table. The BB house interiors are often colour co-ordinated and this time bedrooms are designed in colour contrast of black and red. Unlike most times, this time the restrooms are made inside the house.

6. From akhara to kalkothri, BB has everything in this newly planned house. And what’s terrifying is the fact that the jail (kalkothri) has literally nothing except three string cots.

7. We know you can’t wait to know about the confession chair. Giving it a quirky look, the chair is shaped like a car seat, where people will be confessing their dark secrets to BB.

8. The smokehouse area is situated next to the gym near the pool area because in BB’s house, a lot can happen over a smoke or inside the pool.

9. And of course, you have a secret room which can accommodate four people. As usual, they can see whatever is happening inside the house but the other side will be clueless about it. Who do you think will stay inside the secret room this time? Well, they will be those who got nominated for eviction. The deal is simple, they are going to name who might have turned against them and one common name among the four will be their puppet. Boy, now that’s something!

10. Actor Gaurav Gera will be seen as a gossip queen, giving us all the inside scoop from the house

After a grand launch of ‘Bigg Boss 11’ by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in Mumbai on Tuesday, makers of the controversial reality TV show have revealed the names of the four commoners who will be entering the house as contestants. Channel Colors TV’s Twitter account posted a video that revealed the identities of the four commoners who will be taking part in the show. Mumbai’s dreaded don Dawood Ibrahim’s sister Haseena Parkar’s son-in-law and producer of Shraddha Kapoor-starrer ‘Haseena Parkar’, Zubair Khan, is one of the commoners and has caught fans’ attention for his D-connection.

Bigg Boss is back, and how! The popular reality show is all set to come to our TV screens in just a matter of days and of course, any and every information which is even remotely related to the show is making headlines.

The popularity of the show increased manifold when Salman Khan was roped in as the host, back in 2012. Barring this year, every other year, rumors about Salman not willing to host the show do the rounds; much to the dismay of the show’s fans as for most of them, imagining a season of Bigg Boss without Salman is impossible.

Fortunately for them, Salman is back with his charm as the host of the eleventh season. With a confusing yet interesting theme of ‘Neighbours’, this season will see a mix of celebrities and commoners who will stay put in the closed house for over 100 days with more than 80 cameras capturing all their movements.

Now every day there’s some or the other news about the show, whether it’s related to this year’s tentative contestants list, the past controversies associated with the show and even Salman’s outfits. But what manages to garner most attention each year is Salman’s remuneration.  

Given the superstar that he is, we don’t expect him to charge anything less than a few crores. Apparently, he charged around Rs. 2.5 crore per episode from Season 4 to Season 6. Then, he doubled his fees to Rs. 5 crore for ‘Bigg Boss 7′. For ‘Bigg Boss 8′, he is estimated to have charged Rs. 5.5 crore per episode and for ‘Bigg Boss 9′, he increased his fees to Rs. 7-8 crore per episode and for the previous season 10, he took home Rs. 8 crore per episode.

But according to reports, for the eleventh season, Salman will get a mind-boggling paycheck of Rs 11 crore per episode. Yes, per episode. Now the show is expected to go over a period of 13 weeks of shoot, so that means that Salman will earn more than Rs. 250 crores in just three months.

Fun fact: Our calculators were ready to explode after arriving at this number, and so were our minds.

It was highly likely of this news being a rumor so at the press conference of Bigg Boss last night, a journalist asked Salman about his fees.

“Voting for #BB11 will be exclusively on the @justvoot app” @rajcheerfull, COO @viacom18 at the @BiggBoss Press Conference! @BeingSalmanKhan pic.twitter.com/aLh12bGuoN

— COLORS (@ColorsTV) September 26, 2017

The actor, without directly answering the question, started laughing loudly while walking on the stage and went on towards Raj Nayak, COO, Viacom 18. He then started humming a song from his movie ‘Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega’ and said, “Bolo na, Bolo na”. That is when Raj Nayak took the mike and said, “Salman doesn’t come so cheap.”

Although this is hardly confirmation, the fact that the actor didn’t deny these claims says quite a bit.

The truth, however, would probably be revealed once the season gets over.

On the movie front, Salman is gearing up for the promotions of his upcoming movie ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ which would release in December.

But if that feels too far, mark your calendars for October 1 as the eleventh season of Bigg Boss will start to air.

And it’s a wrap! Don’t forget to join us on 1st Oct at 9PM, first day first show! @BeingSalmanKhan pic.twitter.com/IV40HU4Wo8

Bigg Boss is all set to start its run for its eleventh year and it’s that time of the year for us when our conversations and all our feeds will be hijacked by the feuds and the gossip that will brew inside the house, just like it’s been a staple, you know, that pack of chips that you open and just cannot stop munching? Bigg Boss will take over and how! Some of the most common denominators that all seasons have include numerous arguments, abuses being hurled, people leaving the house , but above all, the plethora of couples and the string of romances we have witnessed in the last ten seasons. Before we dive inside the drama, let’s have a look at the ten couples that brewed more drama than Rakhi Sawant can:

1. Anupama Varma and Aryan Vaid- It was the first season and they were the first ‘it’ couple of the Bigg Boss house. They broke up post the show because it was believed to be a staged romance.

2. Rahul Mahajan, Monica Bedi and Payal Rohatgi- He was the spoilt brat, she was the hot babe offering to make him muesli breakfast every day. He was in an on-off marriage to his now ex-wife, Dimpy. The brat was, however, mad for the gangster girlfriend Monica Bedi.

3. Diana Hayden and Ashutosh – A classic case of two people from two opposite worlds. Nothing official was confirmed, but everyone who watched the show could see how close these two head strong individuals were with each other.

4. Veena Malik and Ashmit Patel- This was probably the first couple who indulged in some major PDA, not to forget the daily massages!

ashmit patel veena malik© Colors

5. Sky and Pooja Bedi- One of the few couples who managed to carry a mature relationship, which extended to the real world as well. Sky even had a tattoo of his lady love’s name but alas, the couple is not together anymore.

6. Gauhar Khan and Kushal Tandon- Two good looking people, lot of sparks, a romance was inevitable. They were together for a long time but eventually broke up, even though they are on good terms.

7. Armaan Kohli and Tanisha Mukerji- They made a boring couple, but they stood by each other during the show.

8. Upen Patel and Karishma Tanna- They made a cute couple, and after Gauhar and Kushal, they were one candy couple for sure.

karishma tanna upen patel© Colors

9. Keith Sequeira and Rochelle Rao- Probably the only couple who met with a happy ending. They were already dating and now they are engaged.

keith sequeira rochelle rao© Colors

10. Nitibha Kaul and Manveer Gujjar- Nothing was made official but they were like ‘opposites attract’. However, everyone could see the sparks fly.

The line up for the next season is still under the wraps, but obviously there will be more romance in this one as well. Just waiting to see who is going under the radar.
