Shilpa Shetty to host ‘Bigg Boss’ in its latest avatar

Actor Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty, who emerged the winner in “Celebrity Big Brother” in Britain against all odds, will now host the “Bigg Boss Season 2” show on Colors TV channel.

About hosting the Indian version of the internationally-acclaimed television show from August 17, the Bollywood star says: “I have been through what these 14 contestants will go through, and therefore understand their needs and feelings. I remem ber what it was to live with strangers in a house cut off from the outside world. But one thing is for sure: it will definitely change the lives of the participants. It will give them memories to last a lifetime and emerge as stronger individuals.”

The contestants will leave their families behind and prepare to live – cut off from the world -- in the Bigg Boss house built on the outskirts of Mumbai. Thirty-two cameras will capture each and every move of the contestants. Bigg Boss will give the contestants some tasks on a daily or weekly basis through which they will earn their weekly budget. Each housemate nominates two contestants for eviction, while the Bigg Boss chooses two contestants with the maximum number of nominations to be put up for public vote.
