Reality TV has taken a big leap forward in the Indian household with Rakhi Sawant and Kashmira Shah displaying ample cleavage. And with the face-of-wardrobe-malfunction Carol Gracias in the house, the peeping toms must be holding their breath. Well, Sony TV's 'Bigg Boss' made a debut last Friday and it promises to be a voyeur's delight and the moral police is already voicing their displeasure. So, let's check out what it's all about.
'Bigg Boss' is the Indian version of 'Big Brother' which has created waves in many countries including Australia and UK. A bunch of celebrities are confined to a house where they have to live for a period of time with no contact with the outside world. There have been sexual escapades (An attempted rape took place once) and one contestant even attempted suicide. Now, in this desi version, the host is the tapori-turned-suave Arshad Warsi while the thirteen celebrities are losers or wannabes including Rakhi Sawant, Kashmira Shah, Aryan Vaid, Deepak Parashar, Bobby Darling, Ravi Kishen, Salil Ankola etc.
The contestants had to undergo HIV test prior to the beginning of the show (A few of the contestants had objection to that) and apparently they are being paid a huge amount as well. The SMS voting is done by the public. And the contestant who gets the highest point shall be voted out every week. Many are betting that the loud mouthed Rakhi Sawant will be the first to be voted out. I don't think that will be the case. For with her designer (And revealing) clothes being a voyeur's delight, I think people won't mind her motor-mouth-mechanics.
So, get ready for the reality television taking you to a new hemisphere. For the 'Bigg Boss' is determined to make head turns'And the moral police shall surely keep it in news.
