Mahek Chahal’s ghost returns to haunt Salman Khan in Bigg Boss!

With talks about host Salman Khan being friends with Bigg Boss Season 7’s contestants Hazel Keech, Rajat Rawail and Elli Avram, all that past buzz about the host’s so-called partiality has again come to the fore.

It can be recalled that rumours about Salman plugging his friends and being biased towards them on the show had peaked when Mahek Chahal had entered BB5 and soon made a Wild Card entry on it in about two weeks from being evicted.

But publicist Dale Bhagwagar who has handled the media for maximum controversial contestants of Bigg Boss, feels such rumours should be understood in the right context.

Salman Khan has been one of the biggest and busiest stars of Bollywood. Most film industry people would have met, known or interacted with him at some moment in their lifetime, with a huge number having worked with him. Does that mean all those people can’t go on Bigg Boss,” questions the PR specialist.

He does have a point. It may be impossible to avoid these connections, considering Salman has been around and ruling the roost for so long. Maybe its time we need to spare him of such gossip, as long as he’s fair to all the contestants.

Pooja Misrra to get an image turnaround

After being unfairly targeted and evicted as a contestant from Bigg Boss 5 and going in for a short second entry as a guest on the show, Pooja Misrra is seeking to prop up her image and has hired Bollywood public relations expert Dale Bhagwagar this week, for a specific period of a month to do an image turnaround.

The publicist had refrained from taking on Pooja’s work earlier citing conflict of interest, as he also handles another contestant Amar Upadhyay during his stint in Bigg Boss 5. But now, since Pooja is no longer in the race for the finale, he agreed to handle her officially and help her with image and crisis management.

For the record, Pooja Misrra was ousted from the House for an alleged assault on co-contestant Siddharth Bhardwaj. She was apparently removed for physically pushing Siddharth on the show, after the latter blew a situation out of proportion and demanded her exit.

Initially targeted by Pooja Bedi, Misrra was made the butt of many jokes, after which she shot back and fought her way with each and every contestant of the show. Millions of viewers identified with her arguments, realizing her plight and urge for space, resulting in Pooja surviving the maximum number of evictions on the show with a mega margin of public votes. Her most famous comment on the show “Spare me” has now become popular lingo all over the country.

“Pooja Misrra was the biggest entertainer and the soul of the season when she first entered Bigg Boss. After her sudden eviction, the public wanted her back as a contestant, competing for the finals. But that couldn’t happen, and Pooja had to merely return as Andrew Symonds’s translator and make frantic attempts to rectify her spoilt reputation. Whereas if she was a contestant, she could have fought back tooth and nail to reach the finals,” said Dale, who was earlier labeled Pooja’s ‘guerrilla publicist’ by the media before she hired him this week.

A specialist with Bigg Boss, Dale has handled the media for the maximum number of celebrities on reality shows including Shilpa Shetty (during Big Brother), Vindu Dara Singh, Rakhi Sawant, Kashmera Shah, Sherlyn Chopra, Shamita Shetty, Zulfi Syed, Diana Hayden (Bigg Boss), IshQ Bector (Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachcho), Natasha Suri (Big Switch) and more. Another Bigg Boss winner Rahul Roy has been Dale’s close friend, while the controversial Ashmit Patel was his client during his stint in Bigg Boss last year.

Even Pakistani actress Veena Malik got invited on the show because of a controversy with Neetu Chandra, yet another of Dale’s clients. Earlier, the PR specialist is known to have discussed media strategies with Ali Merchant for both, him and Sara Khan, and to have received an offer to handle Rahul Bhatt.

Before Bigg Boss Season 5 rolled, Dale also spoke to contestants Shakti Kapoor, Mahek Chahal and Juhi Parmar and discussed the show with them.

Countdown for Bigg Boss 5 finale begins

With Bigg Boss Season 5 nearing its end, fans are at tenterhooks, wondering who will be the winner! As of now, Amar Upadhyay, Juhi Parmar, Akashdeep Sky Saigal, Siddharth Bhardwaj and Sunny Leone are hot in the race.

Amar Upadhyay has been the most dignified contestant of the show this year, having spent his time on Bigg Boss with a lot of integrity. The “Saas Bahu ka Badshah” as ex-Housemate Pooja Misrra tauntingly tagged him on the show, is a self-made man, whose boy-next-door image has been loved my many.

Amar, who started his television career with Jaya Bachchan’s hugely popular sitcom Dekh Bhai Dekh, carved a niche for himself along with veteran television actors like Farida Jalal, Shekhar Suman and Divya Seth.

From here, he never looked back and has done many television serials and soaps. Amar’s career witnessed a major upswing with Ekta Kapoor’s Kyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi; a women-oriented daily soap, which catapulted him to great heights. He left an indelible mark and created history on Indian television when, after his character of Mihir Virani was edged out of the soap, but had to be brought back to life by public demand.

Bigg Boss is Amar’s first attempt at a reality show and one wonders if he can win it. Giving him tough competition is Juhi Parmar, who shot to fame with the serial Kumkum. Plus, there is Akashdeep Sky Saigal, who played Mihir Virani’s son in Kyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and has been in the news for all the wrong reasons on Bigg Boss.

Another contestant Siddharth Bhardwaj, is a winner of MTV Splitsvilla and the youngest of the lot on the show. The 24-year-old actor-model-VJ is a pro at reality television, also having participated in shows like MTV Stripped, Gone in 60 Seconds and Roadies 8.0 too.

The last of the lot is Sunny Leone (born Karen Malhotra), an Indo-Canadian pornographic actress, businesswoman and model. She was named Penthouse Pet of the Year in 2003 and created a furore with Indian conservative audiences, when she entered the Bigg Boss House as a Wild Card Entry a few weeks ago.

As we wait with bated breath to see who the winner would be, families and friends of various contestants, as well as some evicted participants, have been reported to use various antics and tactics outside the House to promote their kin and friends.

While evicted Housemate Mahek Chahal, through her interviews and tweets, has constantly been asking her fans to vote for Siddharth as the winner, there have been media reports of Akashdeep’s sister having the right connections and pulling strings to see her brother as the winner. Meanwhile, another evicted contestant Pooja Bedi has been constantly tweeting in favour of Akashdeep and also predicting that Juhi Parmar would win this season of Bigg Boss.

Astro-numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi, who had joined Pooja Bedi for a prediction on the show, when she hosted Season 2, and had correctly predicted Ashutosh Kaushik as the winner of that season, has now announced that according to numerology, Juhi Parmar will win Bigg Boss 5.

This leaves Amar Upadhyay and Sunny Leone as the only two contestants playing a clean and fair game, without manipulating public opinion outside the House of Scandal.

Family members of contestants to visit Bigg Boss..Shonali or Mahek Eliminated?

 According to the grapevine, Bigg Boss will allow one family member of most of the current contestants on show, to visit their kin inside the House of Scandal this week.

A birdie tells us that one can expect Juhi Parmar’s husband Sachin Shroff, Amar Upadhyay’s wife Hetal and Akashdeep Saigal’s sister Madhu Bhatia on the show this Sunday, for the episode airing beginning next week.

In fact, Akashdeep’s sister, who stays in Dubai, is learnt to be specially flying down forthis chance to meet her brother while he is in the Bigg Boss House.

 When we quizzed celebrity publicist and Bigg Boss specialist Dale Bhagwagar about this, he admitted that he had heard about this concept.“If it materializes, it will be a lot of fun. It will not only put some of the tensed contestants at ease but also escalate the drama for others,” he said.

 “Imagine the surprise and happiness the Housemates will get,when they see their loved ones with them after more than two months,” added the PR expert. “This is the first time we might get to witness an exception likethis being made on the show. What remains to be seen, is whether the family members would be allowed to meet all the contestants or only their kin,” he added,mischievously suggesting that the new members could be let in only for an hour,“so that the contestants begin missing them soon after.

Since Bigg Boss Season 5 began, the show anchored by SanjayDutt and Salman Khan has proceeded with names like Shakti Kapoor, Pooja Bedi, Nihita Biswas, Shradha Sharma, Mandeep Bevli, Raageshwari, Vida Samadzai, SonikaKaliraman Malik, Gulabo Sapera, Laxmi Narayan Tripathi and guest Swami Agnivesh, while Shonali Nagrani, Mahek Chahal, Juhi Parmar, Amar Upadhyay, Siddharth Bhardwaj, Aksahdeep Saigal, along with latest entrants Sunny Leone, Andrew Symonds and Wild Card Entry Pooja Misrra are still in the House.

Siddharth, Mahek, Shonali and Amar were nominated this week.Probably Shonali or Mahek will be eliminated.
