In the last couple of years, Bigg Boss has seen TV celebrities getting locked inside the house. However, when it first launched, there were all kinds of celebrities on the Salman Khan show. Not many would remember but Shakti Kapoor was one of the contestants in season 5. In a recent interview, the actor opened up about his participation and dismissed claims that it’s a ‘scripted’ show.
“I did Bigg Boss for an experience,” Shakti said in the Timeout with Ankit podcast. Elaborating on the same, the actor shared that he ‘couldn’t fight or shout’ like others, and hence didn’t do as well. Shakti added that he had also kept a photo of his family on his bedside, and he would hear them calling him out every time he did something wrong. “Unki awaaz aati thi… chapped padhti thi (I could feel them scolding me),” he laughed.
The Raja Babu actor shared how the show was a ‘good experience’ for him. When he was asked if it’s a scripted show, he dismissed the same saying, “Not at all.”
As per reports, Bigg Boss 17 will see a few celebrity couples along with a few singles. The promos that were released recently also suggest that a few of them would be given advantages by Bigg Boss, who would guide them to play the game better.
“Dil, dimaag aur dum ka hoga ye game but ye game nahi hoga sabke liye same to same (This is a game of the heart, mind and strength, but it would not be the same for everyone),” the tagline declared.
The season will kickstart on October 15. As of now Ankita Lokhande-Vicky Jain, Aishwarya Sharma-Neil Bhatt, Khushi-Mohit Choudhary, Isha Malviya-Abhishek Kumar are said to be participating in the show.
Bigg Boss launched in India in 2006 and has been keeping fans entertained since then. While the first season was hosted by Arshad Warsi, subsequent seasons were hosted by Shilpa Shetty and Amitabh Bachchan, before Salman Khan took over. Over the years, many feel that the show needs to take a break given its repetitive nature.
