The fourteenth season of “Bigg Boss” went on-air in early October. The reality show is currently in its second week with 10 contestants aka freshers and three seniors. Every year the makers get some popular and some not-so-popular faces on-board, but actress Prakriti Nautiyal, who is currently seen in “Barrister Babu”, wants to see Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the show. Now that would be something, don’t you think?
The young actress said, “I would love to see Mr. Amitabh Bachchan ji, Rekha ji, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui ji in ‘Bigg Boss’. They are of course legendary actors but I wonder how their day-to-day life would be on a stage like ‘Bigg Boss’. I would also love to see Ridheema Tiwari ji in the show. I think she is a fabulous actor and it would be fun to see her.”
Sharing her expectations from this season, she said, “I have high expectations because due to the lockdown everything had come to a standstill and ‘Bigg Boss’ season 14’s tag line ‘ab scene Paltega’ and introducing previous seasons’ contestants as seniors has made it very intriguing. The power given to them, like when they were asked to choose a contestant for eviction, makes it unpredictable. I am sure the makers and the contestants have a lot more entertainment coming our way.”
“Bigg Boss”, touted to be one of the most controversial reality shows, is hosted by Salman Khan. The superstar not only grills the contestants on Weekend Ka Vaar special episodes, but also gives them good and bad feedback. Prakriti feels there is no better host than him and said, “After hosting 11 seasons of ‘Bigg Boss’ one has to say that there’s no better host than him. Given the situations, struggles and fights in the house, it takes an ample amount of patience and empathy to calm them down the contestants who are already frazzled.”
“Bigg Boss 14” has contestants like Jasmin Bhasin, Nishant Singh Malkhani, Eijaz Khan, Nikki Tamboli, Jaan Kumar Sanu, Rahul Vaidya, Rubina Dilaik, Abhinav Shukla, Shehzad Deol and Pavitra Punia. The “Naamkarann” actress feels the contestants have not opened up yet but is hopeful they will show their true selves soon. “I have been following the show and I think the freshers are still trying to portray a certain image and are not really opening up. I guess with more tasks we will soon see them come out of the shell and make it much more entertaining,” Prakriti signed off.
