Bigg Boss 9 Double Trouble Room Brings ‘Good News’ For Housemates; Finally Jodi Breaks! All Thanks To Aman

Bigg Boss 9 contestants got a big relief on Friday as the paired and chained housemates will roam around free inside the house. Apparently contestants are no longer in pairs; all thanks to Aman Verma for pressing the buzzer in the double-trouble room!

Double-trouble room? Yes, there is a secret space in the house which will be revealed on day 12.

The ‘double trouble room’ consists of two sound proof booths. And two contestants will be called into this room every week; they will be asked one question by Bigg Boss. By pressing the buzzer, contestants will answer the question. But here comes the TWIST!

The contestants will be given an option of answering or skipping the question. And this will change the game at every turn.

Kishwar and Aman were the first contestants to enter the double-trouble room while rest of the contestants were witnessing the task through the plasma screen in living area.

Bigg boss had given 3 options to Aman and Kishwar:

If they pressed the button one time all the contestants will be free and no longer linked by a chain.

If they pressed it twice everyone would be free except Kishwer and Aman.

And if they don’t press the button the entire house will be free except for Kishwer and Aman, and one more Jodi of their choice would be in bandhan.

Thankfully, Aman pressed the buzzer and as a result, the entire house is now free. Isn’t it great news? Stay tuned for more news and gossips related to Bigg Boss 9.

'Bigg Boss 9' Day 17: Mandana calls Suyyash, Prince immature kids

Sleepless nights have become an integral part of the Bigg Boss contestants' lives as the dance task keeps all the housemates awake during odd hours. As a rule, Prince and Suyyash’s supporters are supposed to dance in the designated area to the song ‘Aaj Ki Party’ and ‘Gallan Goodiyan’. The task continues through the night as the contestants are woken up at wee hours to perform the task.

Mandana Karimi

Soon after, the contestants force themselves out of slumber as they are woken up to ‘Mai Khiladi, Tu Anari’. After Prince and Kishwer’s fallout the previous night, the race of captainship gets more intense. Mandana mentions to Keith and Rochelle that it doesn’t matter to her that who becomes the captain of the house. In her eyes, both Prince and Suyyash are like immature kids. Yuvika and Vikas talk about unceremonious fight between Prince and Suyyash and how they have reached a stage where they can’t see each other eye to eye. Mandana joins in this conversation and says that she is supporting Suyyash only because she wants to make peace with Kishwer and him.

Aman Verma, Prince Narula and Vikas Bhalla

As the day progresses, Rochelle and Mandana are seen having a conversation when Mandana calls Prince fake. Rochelle defends Prince by saying that he became extremely close to Suyyash and Kishwer too soon without knowing them. In all this, Vikas is seen to be in confused state of mind and constantly changing his support. Interestingly, Aman is seen manipulating Prince and using him to play his own game. Meanwhile, Vikas is seen having a discussion with the others about Aman’s devious intentions. He says that Aman should learn to act his own age and play the game grace instead of using dirty tricks.

Finally the moment arrives, when Kishwer is asked to announce the winner of the dance task by Bigg Boss. The winner will get an extra user as a permanent supporter. Prince tells Rochelle that he wants to mend his relationship with Suyyash and wants to stay friends even outside the Bigg Boss house. As the luxury budget task is approaching its end, Prince and Suyyash set out to gather more support and complete the task. Digangana tells Kishwer that she feels that Prince will change for worse if he becomes the captain of the house.

Kishwer Merchantt and Suyyash Rai

As Kishwer’s captaincy is coming to an end, she makes fun of the contestants breaking the rules of the house. Kishwer goes into a care free zone and also ends up fighting with Rochelle over coffee. Rochelle gets miffed with Kishwer for mispronouncing her name and unnecessarily taunting her during coffee discussion. Keith tried to calm Rochelle down when she tells Keith and she will also make a nasty comment if next time Kishwer messes around with her name.

As the day comes to an end, Bigg Boss calls out everyone to gather in the living room and gives them a piece of his mind. Bigg Boss tells the contestants that he is highly disappointed with their luxury budget task performance and does not appreciate how they give up on every task. Bigg Boss asks the contestants to up their game as the game is going to get difficult from hereon. The day ends with Keith having a conversation with Prince over his concern for Rochelle. Keith requests Prince to take care of his girlfriend in his absence. As the lights go off, Rochelle and Keith are seen talking about Mandana’s growing fondness towards Kishwer and Suyyash and how she is switching sides at drop of a hat.

Why Bigg Boss 9 pushes the right buttons of its viewers

Viewers may feel they know the Bigg Boss format all too well by now. But the show, in its ninth edition now, never ceases to surprise even its most ardent fans with the number of twists and turns it has in store for us.

Mind games seem to be the speciality of the Bigg Boss house. When house politics isn't enough to keep us entertained, Bigg Boss brings in a series of challenges that leave most on the edge of their seats. Last night was one of those times.

Free at last?

Kishwar and Aman were asked to go into a Double Trouble room that will be a permanent fixture in the house, as revealed by Bigg Boss. The room consists of two sound blocking cubicles where both of them were required to make certain decisions independently without the other knowing his/her decision. This decision would impact the housemates outside as well.

What happened next perhaps took Aman back to his Khullja Sim Simdays when he provided others with three options, whereby a contestant had to guess the winning option. Quite similarly, both were handed a button and told that they along with other housemates would be free from their harnesses if they pressed it. The only catch was:

1) If only one pressed the button, everyone was freed from their jodis.

2) If they both pressed it, others would be freed but they would still remain tied to each other.

3) If they both do not press the button, they along with another jodi would stay jodidars while others would be free.

This had to be done in less than three minutes. As Aman immediately pressed the button, we waited for Kishwar, who seems rather impulsive, to make her decision. Surprisingly, she stayed away from the button leading to freeing all the housemates from the "Bandhan". What followed next seemed like a couple of prisoners being granted premature release. Newly liberated from their bonds, we were happy to see the house collectively elated.

The asli and nakli

Captain Kishwar in the placard task.

Later in the day, Captain Kishwar, was handed a couple of placards that held an adjective for different housemates. Kishwar was required to give the most fitting adjective to each, which had to be worn across the neck by the contestant for the day. While one got "Boring" and another "Entertaining", it was the title of "Nakli" that got everyone talking. "Nakli" or fake was ultimately given to a sick Mandana who took it without making much fuss.

An almost killer selfie

Selfie of the self-obsessed.

Call it product placement or just a ludicrous task but the housemates were given a smartphone (that is also a sponsor of the show) along with a selfie stick. All that was required of them was to take a selfie in the teams they were divided in, without getting a member from the other team in the frame. A simple task turned the house into a warring zone. Pushing, shoving and crying foul, one would think it was possibly an intense game of rugby instead of a harmless selfie session. Alas, one team won the absurd selfie contest, leaving the others with a bruised ego and body literally.

Bigg Boss 9': Keith Sequeira's ex-wife Samyukta Singh to enter show; will this affect Rochelle Rao?

"Bigg Boss 9" contestant Keith Sequeira is having a tough time on the show -- with his girlfriend Rochelle Rao on one side and partner Mandana Karimi on the other.

However, rumours have been doing the rounds that the show-makers plan to raise the drama quotient and create further troubles for Keith by introducing his ex-wife and actress Samyukta Singh on the show.

"The makers feel Samyukta's presence will heighten the tension in the 'Bigg Boss 9' house. However, she is yet to decide if she should take on the offer. In case she does, it will come as a shock to Keith and Rochelle," a source told Mid-Day.

According to reports, Keith and Samyukta were married for around seven years before they parted ways. The duo had been dating before Keith established himself as a VJ.

Samyukta played the lead in 1994 release "Salaami" opposite Ayub Khan. Although the film bombed at the box office, Samyukta is best remembered for the film's song "Chehra Kya Dekhte Ho", which was a chartbuster.

Recently, she was in news for leading a campaign against the killing of stray dogs in Kerala. Samyukta is TV actress Natasha Singh's sister, who was part of popular series "Dekh Bhai Dekh". 

If Samyukta agrees to be a part of the show, it would surely increase the tension inside the mad house and entertain viewers with juicy gossips.

Additonally, if Keith mends his differences with ex-wife during her stay in the house, will it affect his girlfriend Rochelle, who is already insecure with Keith's closeness with partner Mandana? Only time will tell.

'Bigg Boss 9' Day 10: Mandana Karimi fights with all housemates

At wee hour when the entire house is asleep, Suyyash and Prince are seen toiling at the Lagaan task to earn few extra brownie points. As people wake up to ‘Chakkar Ghumiyo’ they are dreading the thought of churning flour under the scorching sun.

Rochelle Rao tries to reason with Aman Verma

Meanwhile, determined at dutifully meting out his responsibility, Arvind tries to keep a watch but falls asleep on the park bench. Rimi declares that she wants to give up because she has lost the will power to push herself through the task while others are in agreement with her. Tired by the arduous Lagaan task, the contestants are coming up with innovative techniques to win the task and end their ordeal. Rochelle and Mandana are trying hard to sustenance and continue with the task. At the same time, they also discuss how Yuvika is wasting too much time while making paranthas.

Suyyash and Prince

Bigg Boss has a conversation with Keith about their performance after which Keith comes up with an idea of stealing coins from the pot. While everyone is contemplating this thought, Suyyash decides to opt out as he cannot betray his zamindaar girlfriend Kishwer. Taking this thought forward, Mandana and Keith let go off all inhibitions and steal the coins. Claiming that they are helpless and 'fugly', Mandana is chanting the slogan 'Zamindaar Murdabad, Fugly Log Zindabad'. She is also seen dancing with joy at the thought of winning against the zamindaars… or is it just the thought of seeing Kishwer in distress ?

Mandana stealing during the task - the act which led to her fighting with all housemates 

At the same time, other contestants are guilty about stealing the coins from zamindaars as their conscience begins to prick them. As a team, the housemates arrive at a consensus of returning the coins to the zamindaars and also apologizing them. Mandana is evidently upset with this decision and insists on counting all the coins before returning them. Furthermore, the conversation takes a steep route and turns into a heated argument between Mandana and the other housemates. Furious and annoyed Mandana removes her belt and mike and throws it away mentioning that she is always on everyone’s radar in the house. Adamant about not losing the luxury budget at Mandana’s cost, housemates appeal to Bigg Boss to convince Mandana to follow the rules. 

The never ending drama, fights and a boatload of backbiting takes a toll on Mandana and she falls ill to an extent that she is put on saline under doctor’s supervision. Looking at Mandana’s situation, vulnerable Rochelle breaks down and prays for her recovery. To everyone’s relief, Bigg Boss announces end of the task as the action-packed day comes to an end. 

Keith comforts an ill Mandana

A little too much or a little too less, but the Bigg Boss house will never be sans drama. After an eventful day who will be declared as the ultimate winners- zamindaars or workers? 

Movie Review: Vikas Bahl’s ‘Shaandaar’ Is A No-Brainer Entertainer That Falls Nowhere Close To ‘Queen’

Director: Vikas Bahl
Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Pankaj Kapur, Sanah Kapur
Rating: 2.5**

What's the best thing about being a failure? Well, for starters, nobody has any expectations 

from you. And when you do deliver, you surprise everyone and set a benchmark for yourself.

Vikas Bahl was one perhaps an example of such a failure until he reached lofty heights with 

Queen. And therefore set high standards for Shaandaar! 

The Queen director tries to recreate the magic, but fails. Where Queen 

won our hearts with simplicity, the extravaganza of Shaandaar is a little 

too much.

It's a satirical take on the uber rich Indian class and their desire to show off like proud

peacocks. It mocks them by taking a dig on how shiny, blingy golden limousines and 

diamond studded guns are their definition of style and class. 

But half an hour into the movie, all that seems to melt away and the entire plot focusses on 

Jagjinder Joginder (Shahid Kapoor) and his love interest Alia Kapoor (Alia Bhatt). Their 

chemistry is sizzling, and the performances are commendable.

In fact, that chemistry is the highlight of the movie. Alia looks adorable and Shahid is hot.

He looks charming and debonair, but shows how 'desi' he is at heart. Pankaj Kapoor is his 

usual self -- a doting father, he brilliantly showcases the emotional and strong bond between 

father and daughter. 

The truly delightful find of the movie is Sanah Kapoor, Shahid's real life half-sister and 

Alia's reel sister. She is pretty, confident, and can act. Her character is extremely 

soft-spoken person, but possesses a spine of steel when it matters. 

Source: YouTube

All in all, Shaandaar doesn't live up to its name but it still comes across 

as a nice, feel good movie.

And it might fulfill the expectations people have from a Karan Johar movie. It's a visual delight 

and the some of the locations are breathtakingly beautiful. It's a Bollywood entertainer with

songs, dance performances and some nice jokes here and there. It's fun, but in only parts

and in the end, that is what lets it down.

Final Verdict: A fun film sans any story.

Top 10 model turned actresses in India

The hackneyed phrase ‘Models can’t act’ has now become obsolete as models have shown that they are not just stage porcelain dolls but can also show off their acting prowess. Most of these stunning female models are so awesome when it comes to acting that the mainstream actresses now feel jeopardized at the panorama of another model joining the film bandwagon. These girls have proved that ‘Models can act’ and, if truth be told, they have a far better record than their male counterparts. Let’s have a look at these top 10 model turned actresses in India.

10. Monikangana Dutta:

At the age of 21, the Assamese beauty was discovered outside her Delhi college and in a few years time she became a stable face on the ramp. One of Victoria’s Secret Angel, Monikangana made an excellent debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ‘Guzaarish’ and has proved that nothing is really impossible for a mega flourishing Indian model.

9. Jacqueline Fernandez:

Miss Sri Lanka, Jacqueline Fernandez came to Mumbai and started her career in modeling, soon to be recognized by Bollywood filmmakers. She debuted in 2009 with Aladin but failed to leave an impression. However,after acting in Murder – 2, she is one of the hottest new faces of the Bhatt Camp. She was also seen in Houseful opposite John Abraham.

8. Ishaa Koppikar:

The Khallas girl started working in an ad with Gautam Rajadhyaksha when she was in college. She modeled for various names like Camay, Rexona, L’Oreal, Coca-Cola and Tips & Toes. Her film career started as an item girl in Ram Gopal Varma’s,“Company.” The song “Khallas” not only was a big hit but made her famous overnight. She then worked in another item song in “Kaante” in 2002 and has a few movies in her credit.

7. Mugdha Godse:

A semi-finalist in Femina Miss India 2004, Mugdha made her Bollywood debut in Madhur Bhandarkar’s “Fashion”. She was loved a lot for her acting in this film. She then even went on to star in another Madhur Bhandarkar film, ‘Jail’ which, however bombed at the box office. Hopefully, Mugdha will bounce back and etch out as successful a career in Bollywood like she did as a model.

6. Anushka Sharma:

At the age of 15, this chubby girl was seen at the Lakme Fashion Week. Next, she had a dream debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan at the age of 20.

5. Deepika Padukone:

With a flourishing modelling career and a Kingfisher Calendar photo-shoot to her glory, Deepika broke into Bollywood with Farah Khan’s super-hit movie, ‘Om Shanti Om’. Ms.Padukone however, does not like being called a model-turned-actress because according to her, she has not quit modeling and would pursue it again when she feels the urge to do so. Nevertheless, the young damsel is counted amongst some of the most successful actresses in the industry at the moment.

4. Freida Pinto:

After the movie flopped, Kat stayed in Mumbai and continued modelling while learning Hindi and taking up acting classes. At present, the Brit star is one of the top actresses of the country with an awesome box-office success ratio which other actresses can only envy.
