Bigg Boss 5 Press Conference..!


Yesterday there was a pleasurable press meet of Bigg Boss Season 5 at Mehboob Studio in Bandra. Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt were at their playful best on stage.  It started off late but the media greeted Salman and Sanjay with a roaring applause once they took centre stage and started their monkeyshines.

There were many more hilarious moments during the conference; the one that really stood out was when Sanjay asked Salman for how many crores would he consider going inside theBigg Boss house.

Salman in his casual way quipped, “Hum dono to free mein bandh ho jaate hain” Both of them laughed at their own jokes, which made a mockery of their own lives more than anyone elses.  The bonding between Sanjay-Salman is extremely entertaining.

Sanjay asked who should be put in the house – Mike Tyson or Shakira – and everyone said both, to which he said, “Itna budget nahi hai bhai”. It is a noticeable hint that either of the two international stars could be on the show.

Salman was operated in the US for nerve disorder & after the post-operative session, he soon joined the cast and crew of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ in Dublin. Despite of not being well he kept his commitment to the Colors channel and was be present at the launch of Bigg Boss 5.

Sanjay asked Salman the question about his health. “My surgery went well and I was a 100% ok now, even though its 30-40% healed. I was stooting in Durbin for my film Ek Tha Tiger, the cold there messed it up a bit and it hurts to even laugh loudly right now, but with all the prayers, love and support from everyone, I am going to be 100% fine very soon. I will go back in 3-4 months for another checkup and then, I’ll be back in full form” quipped Salman.

Looking at Salman, one would not guess the man just went through a major illness. He charmed everyone present at the Bigg Boss 5 press meet.

When asked whom Salman wants to be in Bigg Boss house this season, he said he wants to put filmmaker David Dhawan because he cannot desist from food inside the house. He said he fears for his health and cares too much about him to let him continue binging.

Every time when we are all out eating at the deluxe restaurants in any part of world, David will look at another diner’s plate and request the waiter, *Mujhe who chahiye jo who kha raha hai*. Sometimes David picks up food from anyone’s plate, he doesn’t care whether that other person is friend or stranger. And he even does not let go of any chance to pick up leftovers from room service food plates outside hotel rooms. His food habits are that bad, and if he goes into the house, he will become fit and healthy because food is a big issue inside the house as you all know.”

Salman said to Sanjay, “You are four years older than me and I’m Bhai and you’re Baba. How did you manage this Baba? You started calling me Bhai jaan and now I am jagat bhaijaan”.

Raj Nayak and Ashwini Yardi (CEO and Programming Head of Colors respectively) were also present there.

Official list of participants are not yet revealed, the first episode will be aired from 2 October on Colors.
I am pretty sure that this easy companionship between the two hosts is sure to double the ratings of the show.

Patch-up time for Raja and Santosh


Raja Chaudhary is well known as trouble maker as he always creates havoc and troubles for its co-stars. He has been caught in a number of brawls, may be he loves to remain in limelight for all the wrong reasons.

He is currently seen on Sahara One's ‘Kahani Chandrakanta Ki’ as Bhavani Singh. As reported earlier he had a major fight with Santosh Shukla, which made the entire unit and cast uncomfortable. Santosh plays the character of Virendra Singh and is lead actor of the show.

Raja and Santosh have not got along well from last few days because they have problems in sharing the same makeup room. The duos have had few hit and misses scenes, but have not come face to face till now in the show.

Santosh was getting his makeup done and had to step out to answer an urgent call. On returning, he found Raja sitting in his place for makeup. As Santosh's scene was before his, he requested Raja to get ready later. To which Raja exploded on him and as a result the argument turned physical.

As per the sources, “From last couple of months Raja and Santosh did not share a very pleasant relationship off screen, though they were great friends once upon a precious time and used to party frequently after the shoots. But misunderstandings started mounting up, followed by violent argument.

Sunil Agnihotri (producer and director of Kahani Chandrakanta Ki) made efforts to mend bridges between them, now it is heard that all is well between the actors. The duo even dined together at Sunil Agnihotri flat recently.

When contacted Santosh about the incident, he stated, "Yes we had a fight in makeup room but I don't think it is a big deal. Raja bhai is like my elder brother. One of the reporter misquoted my statement and had written there is always a cold war between Raja and me.  It's entirely wrong, sometimes we fight with our friends and family members and at times we scream at each other. So for me it’s ok.”

Raja said, “That issue is sorted out so I don’t want to talk on this anymore. Santosh is more than a co-star. We are like buddies and occasionally buddies can fight with each other?  I believe these fights made our bond more strong.

Sunil Agnihotri was unavailable for comment.

Well I guess consciously or unconsciously, this is another round of publicity.

Be Blessed..
