Episode 1 - Welcoming the Contestants

Shilpa Shetty made a grand opening of Big Boss season 2 on 17th August and this episode was having limited content, which includes welcoming fourteen contestants, showcasing new house and 2-3 item songs done by few participants. Here is the brief description about contestants, in same sequence as they appear on the show. I will try to update on a daily basis but I will make sure that it is crisp and short.

Quick update: Jade Goody will not be part of first week eviction and she can select one more person from rest of thirteen to avoid nomination. This will make sure that most of the flat mates will be buttering Jade Goody for whole of this week.

Ketki Dave - Television actor. Acted in couple of never-ending soap-operas like "Kyunki Saas bhi Kabhi Bahu thi". May not go beyond five episodes.

Zulfi Syed - Model cum actor. Acted in couple of movies like "Taj Mahal". Looks handsome and wanted to earn fame through this platform. Likely survival between 5-10 episodes.

Raja Choudhary - Ex-husband of Shweta Tiwari (Prerana of "Kasauti Zindagi Ki" tele-serial). Was in news as wife beater. Divorcee now. Looks egoistic and male chauvinist. May not go beyond five episodes.

Rakhi Tandon - Acted in couple of tele-serials. Sweaty of “Hum Paanch”. Chirpy but may not last long. Likely survival between 5-10 episodes.

Rahul Mahajan - Son of late Pramod Mahajan, BJP leader. Rahul was in news for the wrong reasons. Initially for taking lethal mix of drugs with friend. Friend died on the spot.

Likely survival between 5-10 episodes.

Sambhavna Seth - Item girl of Bhojpuri Films. Will she be the deadly mix of Ravi Kishan + Kashmira Shah ? May not go beyond five episodes.

Sanjay Nirupam - A mature politician and Congress MP. May not go beyond five episodes.

Jade Goody - Written too much about her already. She is arrogant and moody. She doesn’t understand Hindi at all, whereas Hindi would be the official language inside the house. Anyway, she is not her to win this game but to change perception about her. Because of this reason, she will be decent and soft spoken. Let’s see. Surprise Bonus from Big Boss for her. She will not be part of first week eviction.
