Bigg Boss 9: ‘Big Brother’ experience an ‘advantage’ for Priya Malik

Priya Malik, who was part of the Australian version of controversial show "Big Brother", will be seen entering the "Bigg Boss Nau" house as a wild card entrant.

Priya Malik, who was part of the Australian version of controversial show “Big Brother”, will be seen entering the “Bigg Boss Nau” house as a wild card entrant.

She says her experience at the international show will be an “advantage” for her here.

Asked if she was jittery about entering the “Bigg Boss Nau” house, Priya, who is popularly known as Posh Spice of Australian TV told IANS over phone from Lonavla: “I am not jittery at all! In fact, I have been on “Big Brother” (Australia), which is a similar format, if not identical. I think that puts me at an advantage.”

Priya, who is a high school teacher in Adelaide, has her roots in Dehradun. She was part of “Big Brother Australia” in 2014, and is the fourth wild card entry to enter “Bigg Boss Nau”.

She says her “strategy is to not to be afraid of showing who I truly am unless I am Kishwar (Merchant) because that’s not what everyone wants to see.”

The 28-year-old says she doesn’t have any “favourites” in the house and dislikes maximum housemates, who are a mix of showbiz celebrities.

“I don’t have any favourites this season… I’m talking as an audience. The list of people I dislike is a lot longer than the people I like in the house at the moment.

“Other than Rochelle Rao, I do like things about her… Then Keith Sequeira. I like him if he is coming back, and I like Digangana Suryavanshi as there is nothing to dislike (about her); she has done nothing, she’s like a little statue and so I don’t mind a statue,” quipped Priya, who has been living in Australia for the past seven years.

While on “Big Bother” in Australia last year, she reportedly faced severe racial backlash which even escalated to death threats long after getting evicted from the show. Priya has faced bullying and trolled on social media.

Asked who according to her doesn’t deserve to be in the house, Priya said: “Rimi Sen doesn’t deserve to be in the house. It’s really insulting to sign a show and to not be a part of it. I’m going to tell her like it is.”

The show features celebrity contestants in a game of survival wherein they are locked in an isolated house for around three months sans the luxuries they are used to, under 24X7 camera surveillance.

9 Reasons We Want to Quit Watching Bigg Boss 9 Right Now

Bigg Boss is a one-stop entertainment show for many of us - be it the difficult tasks or cheering for our favourite contestants. However, we are a little disappointed with the current season. Not only has the show lowered its standards with rubbish tasks, but the contestants too are adding fuel to the dismay. Here are 9 things about this season that left us wanting to quit watching the show.

1. Treating contestants as a dog: We all remember how Rishabh, who entered the house as a wild card entrant, started creating a mess in the house. Mandana and Rishabh took the hotel task a tad too seriously. It was humiliating to watch Kishwer being treated as a dog for hours. It's a task but you can always do it with some dignity, which of course didn't occur to these two contestants.

2. Spitting in food is the new low: Of course, the consequence of treating Kishwer as a dog resulted in her spitting ice cubes in Mandana's juice in the hotel task. This resulted in a big spat in the house, as Mandana wanted to leave the house. How can someone go to such low standards for revenge?

3. Bored contestants: Well apart from a few over-enthusiastic contestants like Mandana, Rochelle, Kishwer, Suyyash and Prince, there other contestants who are just lost in the house. Aman, Diangana and Rimi are contestants who are already done with the show, it seems.

4. Physical abuse: Who can forget Mandana kicking Kishwer? Everyone knows that physical abuse is absolutely against the rules, but it seems the anger and rage of the constants is getting over their minds.

5. Creating fights for screen time: We know fights and arguments are the key ingredients of Bigg Boss, but we can't stand the constant nuisance that is being used to grab screen time. Be it Kishwer or Mandana, the constant nagging is boring.

6. No eye-candy: Let's accept the fact after Keith and Yuvika were evicted, there are no pretty faces to watch, in the show. In fact, they were the ones who were calm to take the game just like a game and not make it a house of scream. We need some good new faces in the show.

7. Need more interesting contestants: With just a few contestants in the house, it's time to get some wild card entries. Rushabh has sustained his stay but Puneet was shown the door and was evicted last week. We need some more contestants to add glam and fun, and raise the entertainment quotient. We don't mind Keith coming back to the show.

8. All are pretentious souls: Keith was one contestant who played fair and square, but after his exit due to family reasons, the show seems to have been filled with jokers, who would go to any extent to win the game.

9. Respect and dignity is nowhere to be seen: We know Bigg Boss is one place where you lose it all, but if there is one thing that we can expect the contestants to hold back, it is their own dignity and respect, and give the same to others. But that too seems to have left us in shock!

'Bigg Boss 9': Digangana Suryavanshi's father doesn't approve of daughter's closeness with Rishabh Sinha?

"Bigg Boss 9" is a place where equations change at the drop of a hat. Digangana Suryavanshi and Rishabh Sinha were like chalk and cheese when the latter entered the mad house. But right now, their friendship has not only strengthened but according to a few housemates, the 18-year-old girl gets all jealous if another woman talks to him.

Eliminated contestant Puneet Vashist, who was around long enough to understand what was going on between the two, said they were more like a couple. But Digangana's father hasn't taken very kindly to the actor's comments.

Talking to Bollywood Life, he said how perceptions and thoughts change from person to person. And Puneet's two cents on what Digangana and Rishabh share only goes on to show what kind of a man he is. The gentleman also added how he'd like to believe what he sees on the show than believe Puneet's story.

"Puneet could have called them even as 'brother-sister', But he tagged them as 'husband and wife' because that's how he his. So now you know the difference? According to me I still believe they are like brother-sister or good friends!," the web portal quoted the father as saying.

"Puneet is being like one of my friend who was once told by his mom that beta dekho yeh teri behen jaisi hai and he was like, "Behen jaisi kyu, biwi jaisi kyu nahin ho sakti." So you see, there is a way in delivering your thoughts!," he further elaborated.

In other news, cracks are beginning to appear in the solid friendship Prince Narula, Suyyash Rai and Kishwer Merchant so blindly rely on. Mandana Karimi is ready to be sent off to the secret room from where she will keep a check on people.

Bigg Boss 9: From kids wreaking mayhem to an unwilling Rimi

Who wouldn't love the idea of going back to their childhood? Last night, the Bigg Boss contestants got just the opportunity to turn into little rascals. A fun task to celebrate Children's Day saw Rochelle, Rishabh, Kishwer and Prince acting as troublesome toddlers left in a day care centre. Trust these four to cause chaos in the house. Perhaps this is the reason Mr Bigg decided to put them in one team. Aman, Digangana, Suyyash and Mandana were the teachers at the day care centre. The task was simple; the children had to use all means possible to make their teachers lose their cool. The test of patience would be judged by a supervisor, Rimi.

As mayhem ensued with the "kids" running around in diapers, chucking dirt, screaming on the top of their voices and creating a racket, their handlers found it amusing rather than irritating. Digangana kept her calm and displayed her exceptional nanny skills , even after being pushed into the swimming pool by Prince. Aman proved to be an admirable gentle teacher and Mandana, who was ill today, was one of those substitute teachers who is usually ignored.

It would perhaps have been easier to make Rimi the annoying kid today given that she is already testing the patience of many contestants in the house with her lack of interest. After proving to be a liability for most of the teams she has been in the past, Bigg Boss has been assigning her job of a neutral task supervisor in the recent tasks. But the unwilling actor refused to perform this role as well. Begging and pleading by the housemates also couldn't deter Rimi from her mission of being evicted from the house. Finally, captain Suyyash took away her mattress as punishment. But given Rimi's personality, she will hardly protest this act as well. We hope Rimi's prayers are answered soon!

The task will continue again tonight with the roles being reversed. Given the unique talent of the contestants turning every fun task into a war zone like situation, we already know that this task too will be no child's play. The webspace is also abuzz with the rumours of a sudden eviction, and it's not Rimi. After Keith's exit, we wouldn't want any more of our favourites to leave.

Bigg Boss 9: Mandana faces eviction, gets sent to secret room

Yes, the popular contestant on Bigg Boss this year will be taken out of the house after being called the weakest performer in the luxury budget task this week. But there's huge twist

While launching the luxury budget task for this week, Bigg Boss had announced that the elimination for this week will depend on the task results. And here it is. while we already told you that Mandana has been taken out of the house, she was supposed to return to the house after her medical treatment was complete. Soon enough, Bigg Boss announced that Mandana will be evicted from the house this week.

After two days of task, Bigg Boss called sanchalak (supervisor) Rimi to the confession room and asked her to give name of the worst performer of the task. Rimi took Mandana's name and Bigg Boss asked Mandana to pack her bags and get ready to leave the house as she is evicted. Everyone was shocked to hear about Mandana's eviction and Rochelle and Kishwer broke into tears. 

But hang on there! Before you also break into tears, here's the real dope. The housemates are oblivious of the fact that this is a fake eviction and Mandana has been kept in a secret room from where she will be watching everyone and will soon re-enter the house. 

This is similar to what Bigg Boss had done previously with many contestants. From Imam Siddiqui to Gautam Gulati and even Raja Chaudhary, many faced fake evictions only to re-enter the house soon. So Mandana now joins that list! 

'Bigg Boss 9': Salman Khan confirms Keith Sequeira's return

Keith Sequeira made an emergency exit from the "Bigg Boss 9" house last week after he was informed about his brother's demise. And since then, viewers want to know about Keith's re-entry.

Viewers took to Twitter to say that they are missing Keith and want him to return to the show soon. Keith will soon be inside the "Bigg Boss 9" house, but it is not confirmed when will he enter.

"Bigg Boss 9" host Salman Khan confirmed that Keith will soon comeback, but he too didn't mention the date.

"We have got a message from Keith and he has told us not to inform any of the contestants about the incident. He said that he will come and tell it himself!" Salman said during weekend special episode.

On Friday, Keith was informed that there is an emergency in his family and he needs to be with his family members. When he came out of the "Bigg Boss 9" house he was informed about the younger brother Ian Sequeira death.

Ian died of heart attack on Thursday at his residence in Gurgaon, Haryana. He was reportedly into baking business and used to make various cake designs and get them baked.

After the death, Keith's family issued a statement and requested everyone to grant them privacy.

"In light of the untimely passing of Keith's beloved younger brother, the Sequeira family requests everyone to grant them privacy to mourn their extreme loss. Ian Sequeira was a beacon of light in their lives and was deeply loved by his family and friends. The Sequeira family graciously accepts all condolences in these testing times," an official statement.

'Bigg Boss 9' spoiler: Yuvika Chaudhary eliminated; Prince Narula's love story to end?

Another weekend and another contestant said good-bye to "Bigg Boss 9". Out of the six nominated contestants, one of them will be seen leaving the "Bigg Boss 9" house on Sunday.

"Bigg Boss 9" host Salman Khan ended Saturday's episode by maintaining the suspense and just announcing that Mandana Karimi is safe. This week, Yuvika Chaudhary along with Mandana, Suyyash Rai, Rimi Sen, Aman Verma and Digangana Suryavanshi were nominated for eviction.

And according to Twitter buzz, it is Yuvika, who will bid adieu to the show on Sunday.

Arvind Vegda, who was eliminated last week, also said that either Yuvika or Digangana would leave the show in the coming week.

"I think Digangana will be the next one to get evicted! She is small and I personally feel she will not be able to adjust all the situations in the house. The environment inside is just getting from bad to worse! Then there is Yuvika who is again very soft at heart! But I really believe the next eviction will be Digangana," Arvind told

However, Digangana survived, while Yuvika got eliminated from the show.

Yuvika's exit came at a time, when there was a beginning of a new love story in the "Bigg Boss 9" house. Prince Narula confessed his love for the "Om Shanti Om" actress by making a heart-shaped paratha for her.

He even proposed Yuvika in a romantic style and in front of the housemates, he proposed her. Yuvika too responded positively and planted a kiss on his cheeks.

But the love story ended even before starting with Yuvika's exit.

If you’ve been waiting for some action between the sheets inside the Bigg Boss house, here it is. Two couples -- Keith and Rochelle, and Suyyash and Kishwar -- were caught getting cozy with each other after the lights were out inside the house. Leaked pictures show the two pairs kissing and making out with each other.

In Friday’s episode, BB asks the new captain, Prince, to choose the top three rule breakers in the house. He nominates Rochelle, Mandana and Yuvika. The trio is then called to three separate booths and given four options: If any one of them presses the buzzer, the other two will face the punishment; if two of them do it, the third one will be in the dock; if all of them press the buzzer together, they will have to nominate two who’d face the punishment; and if no one presses the buzzer, they will have to single out one of them to face the punishment.

After the task, Mandana and Rochelle get into an ugly argument when Mandana calls Rochelle selfish. Keith tries to play the peacemaker and tries to calm Rochelle down. The couple then bitches about Mandana’s modus operandi of befriending people for her selfish gains and then dumping them as soon as her work is done. Later in afternoon, Rochelle also tells Digangana that Mandana has manipulative ways. On the other hand, Kishwer tells Yuvika that she finds Mandana very upfront and bold.

In the evening, Bigg Boss introduces the task ‘Sachai Ka Saamna’ which takes the contestants through a reality check of the ‘Good’, ‘Bad’ and ‘Ugly’. Rimi is asked to spot ‘good’ things about the contestants while Mandana and Aman are asked to identify the ‘bad’ and ‘ugly’ qualities respectively. This brings out all the buried issues and gives the contestants a chance to openly confront people. It creates a permanent crack in Mandana and Rochelle’s friendship, as they vent out their frustrations about each other. At the same time Kishwer and Mandana get a chance to strengthen their budding friendship. They bond over similarities in their personality and behaviour. 

Bigg Boss 9: After Rishabh Sinha, Puneet Vashisht enters as the second wild card contestant!

While the Bigg Boss housemates are still recovering from Rishabh Sinha’s entry which struck them like lightening, they will soon witness another wild card contestant Puneet Vashisht making an entry into the house this week.  With a promise of staying true to his image of a trouble-maker, Puneet will increase the Double Trouble quotient by infusing a double dose of fun, drama and excitement in the show.

Puneet is popularly known for his roles in movies like Josh, Kya Kehna and All The Best. He was recently seen playing an obsessive lover in Shashtri Sisters. Known for playing grey characters on-screen, he is surely going to add oodles of drama the Bigg Boss house with his strong and distinctive personality. He comes with a pure passion for entertainment, is an excellent choreographer and musician he holds the capability to make people dance to his tunes. Known for his obscure and straight-forward nature, Puneet can even come across as intimidating to the other contestants.

Speaking about his entry into the Bigg Boss house, Puneet said, “I have closely followed this season of Bigg Boss and feel a strong need intensify the game further. It is high time that the contestants need to be pushed out of their comfort zones and I am going to do so. I  will ensure that my presence flips their lives and they get the real taste of Bigg Boss. It am very much excited to be a part of Bigg Boss family and will see that I live up to everyone’s expectations.”

With Puneet invading people’s private space and disrupting their lifestyle, an outburst of emotions is bound to occur. The road that lies ahead consists of rocky paths and the only saving grace is each contestant’s spirit to win the game.

5 Reasons Why Prince Narula Is The Gautam Gulati Of Bigg Boss 9!

In the last season of Bigg Boss, Gautam Gulati took over the show by a storm. He won a million hearts. Now, that Bigg Boss 9 is here, Prince Narula just reminds us of Gautam!

1. Drool Worthy Body

3. Don't give a fuck attitude -

Like we know, Gulati was a hot headed contestant right from the start (Mirchi task). On the other hand, Prince in his 30 sec promo showed how short tempered he is as he slapped a guy in his last show! What are you going to do here, Prince?

4. Huge Fan Following-

Gulati, was audience's favourite last season. No wonder he won the show! But, this season we have Prince who already has a huge fan following due to his other reality shows. We just expect it to get doubled up now! Don't you agree with us?

Why Mandana Karimi has already put everyone in Bigg Boss 9 to shame

The Iranian beauty has become the queen of conflict in merely three days.

The creative team behind Bigg Boss meticulously designed a series of bizarre fear factor style luxury budget tasks that failed to grab our attention in this episode. The reason; Mandana Karimi.

The model dominated much of the screen time last night with her antics and had a huge list of complaints against half her housemates. Karimi who loves to call a spade, a spade was particularly "on edge" (as her partner Keith put it) owing to disturbed sleep the previous night due to Arvind Vegda's incessant snoring.

But, the Iranian who does not like her sleep disturbed decided to vent out her frustration on other contestants. Here is a list of everyone who found a place in Mandana's Burn Book:

1. Aman Verma - For grabbing her hand when she punched him playfully.

2. Rimi Sen - For being a non-compliant partner to Suyyash.

3. Suyyash - For calling her a "firangi with an accent" whom the cameras love.

4. Rochelle - For blaming her for distancing her from boyfriend Keith.

5. Digangana/Roopal (Either one of the "Chotis") - For not contributing to chores and "having an opinion about everything" .

Mandana, who is already ruling the social media in India in merely three days of joining Bigg Boss has also become the queen of conflict inside the house already. As she displayed fifty shades of irritating, she even managed to overshadow Suyyash's rebellion against Bigg Boss by walking out of a task that required him to get "Bigg Boss" tattooed permanently over his arm.

While the contestants provided a solution of a shift and rotate system at night to avoid the disturbing snoring, Mandana stayed defiant and all logic seemed to dodge her. She might have mastered the art of turning the camera towards her in the house, and may be on her way towards being a strong contender of winning the show, but she is also turning into a beautiful nightmare for her fellow contestants.
