Vindu Dara Singh, the Indian TV and Cinema actor, became the champion of the third season of Big Boss, the reality game show. The third season, which was shown on Hindi entertainment Channel, Colors, started on October 4, 2009. Initially, there were fifteen contestants: Ismail Darbar, Sherlyn Chopra, Kamal Rashid Khan, Poonam Dhillon, Bhakhtiyaar M Irani, Tanaaz B Irani, Vindu Dara Singh, Aditi Govitrikar, Jaya Sawant, Shamita Shetty, Claudia Ciesla, Rohit Verma, Raju Srivastav, Pravesh Rana and Vinod Kambli. In the final, there are four housemates left: Poonam Dhillon, Bhakhtiyaar M Irani, Vindu Dara Singh and Pravesh Rana. Bhakhtiyaar M Irani left the house with Rs. 1 million. Rediff reports:

Celebrity host and Bollywood biggie Amitabh Bachchan announced the winner, who won a prize money of Rs 1 crore.

Viewers voted Vindu as the winner over yesteryear heartthrob Poonam Dhillon and wildcard entry and model Parvesh Rana. Both Vindoo and Poonam had spent a grueling 84 days in the Bigg Boss House, while Pravesh entered the house mid-way.

Poonam was the first to be eliminated on Saturday night among the final three, while Parvesh and Vindu were taken onstage leading to a nail-biting finish.

Vindu even won Chevrolet Cruise as the award for most stylish and bold inmate in the house. All the other participants who were evicted from the house attended the final show.

In the beginning, Vindu Dara Singh was not very much popular. His talkativeness put him into direct conflict with his fellow housemates. However, it is this attitude of his that made him very popular. He was nominated six times to go out of the show but each time people voted for him.

Amitabh Bachchan is going to host the Bigg Boss on Colors Hindi entertainment channel

After four years, Amitabh Bachchan is returning to television. Big B is now going to host TV reality show, Bigg Boss, on Hindi entertainment channel, Colours. Recently, Amitabh Bachchan gave an interview to Hindustan Times where he talked about hosting the TV reality show. Here is an excerpt of the interview:

What did your family have to say about your decision to be part of this show?

Well, all of them gave their inputs. We do discuss things over the dining table. But they’re happy if I’m happy. And I’m happy.

How much are you getting paid for Bigg Boss?

That’s confidential.

Amitabh Bachchan first appeared in television in 2000 with the reality game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati. The show went on to become one of the most successful television shows till date. In 2005, Big B returned to host the show for the second time but he was not so successful this time. Still, Amitabh Bachchan is a living legend in the Indian entertainment industry. Kaun Banega Crorepati was a very decent show. It was an out and out family entertainer where Big B was a sympathetic host but Bigg Boss is the total opposite. It is a “voyeuristic and controversial show.” In this show, Mr. Bachchan will play the role of a philosopher who would give some good advice to a bunch of dysfunctional housemates. Colors aired the show in July 2008. It became very popular but it was very obscene and vulgar and many viewers complained about it. Talking about his reason behind hosting the show Mr. Bachchan said that he had found the idea intriguing. There are many shows that are frivolous but it takes time to make such frivolous shows. A qualified psychologist was appointed while making the show, Kaun Banega Crorepati. In the same way, when people are locked inside a space for eighty four days without any outside contact they start to behave differently. What is the reason behind such change and why do they do it?
