Shakti Kapoor not safe in Bigg Boss: Farah Khan

Choreographer-director-actor Farah Khan has been the most consistent follower of Bigg Boss since season one. However, this time she misses out on half the episode because of her gruelling shooting schedules. “I’m tired when I get home. Ever since Just Dance wrapped up, I’vebeen setting a number for Housefull 2. I watch half the show and go to sleep because I have an early call time, and the show airs late. But my husband (director Shirish Kunder) is following it religiously on my behalf,” says Farah, who’s forced to put the TV off because she has to put her triplets to sleep. “I can’t let their schedules get affected because I want to watch TV.”

Every year, Farah is known to throw a bash of sorts for her close friends with whom she watches the first and sometimes, the closing episode of the reality show. However, she’s broken the tradition this year. “I couldn’t have an opening episode party but when I saw Shakti (Kapoor) entering the house as the only man among 12 women and a eunuch, I thought that this season was turning out to be really ‘different’,” she laughs. “Maybe, we’ll have a closing bash.”

‘One day, they’ll gang up against him’Not all the women in the house are nasty. But some are too bad to be true. One of these days, they’ll gang up against Shakti and have him thrown out of the house. A couple of them, within two-three days, will show their true colours. They speak behind their backs, pass nasty comments, and I can see discontent brewing inside a few hearts. It’s just a matter of time. All it will take is one big nasty fight.

‘He’s well-behaved’Bechara Shakti! I don’t feel bad for the women but I definitely feel for Shakti. He must be missing male company so much now. He is shown to be a lecherous villain on screen but on a public platform, he’s anything but lecherous. I’ve not shot too much with him but while working on Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani (2000), I remember he was the first to arrive on sets. It’s against his public image, but he’s actually well behaved. I want him to stay inside for a while because it’ll bring out his true personality. He flirts but in this current situation, he better not misbehave. Pit jayega bechara (he will be beaten up)! 

‘There are sweet souls too’
The house would have been incomplete without its set of sweet, and at times, neutral women. They don’t react or overreact in most situations. So, it is good to see Raageshwari back in action. She’s a sweet soul and should stay longer to ensure that there is some sanity left till the last day. Ditto Sonika, but she should come out because it may impact her baby if she stays in this negative environment for too long.

Bevli jailed!
Mandeep Bevli is sent to jail in tonight’s episode. She is given the task to get each housemate to comment on every other member in one sentence only. Everyone, as expected, goes overboard describing his or her individual experience. So, Bevliji who is judging and monitoring the exercise, is punished and sent to jail for an indefinite period. Before going in, she cries and says she can’t eat, sleep and even excrete properly. Okay, we don’t need to get more personal!

Shakti Kapoor gets a royal ignore from Salman and Sanjay!

Actor Shakti Kapoor is perhaps facing the worse snub of his life. Bigg Boss 5 hosts, Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt have apparently decided not to interact with Kapoor, who is the only male inmate in the house.


Sources reveal that Salman Khan, who was once a close friend of Shakti, refused to share the stage with Bigg Boss contestant Shakti, which is why all the female contestants had a brief introduction with Dutt and Khan, but Shakti had a solo entry in the house, without any formal introduction.

Incidentally, both Sanju and Sallu refrained from taking Kapoor’s name and they ensured of the same in their script.

Sources said, the producers are trying to break the ice between Kapoor and the two hosts, since it will look vague if there is no interaction throughout the weeks.

Shakti, who did show remorse at his past deed in the Bigg Boss house, shared the incident (with fellow inmates) that had triggered the friction with Salman without divulging the actor’s identity, “I, in a trip of alcohol, happened to abuse this actor on the phone, which hurt his ego and since then he is not talking to me and unfortunately he is superstar now.”

Similarly, Kapoor insanely narrated an incident about a Bollywood heroine ‘farting’ (using an indecent word like “paad” on national television), while giving a film shot.

He went on to narrate, how the hero of that film Sanjay Dutt (second host of Bigg Boss) had even arranged for a special private screening of the ‘fart’ shot for twenty of his selected friends, who clapped and mocked at the heroine after what they saw and heard the fart.

All this believed to have not gone well with Dutt too, who also is planning to ignore Kapoor, allegedly giving the producers a tough time ahead.

Let’s hope all is sorted out in the Bigg Boss house.

Bigg Boss 5: Shraddha tries to entice Shakti Kapoor - Day 3

The weekly task (Pahiya Ghumao, Kismat Chamkao – where they have to ride a rickshaw to different cities) continues. The contestants complain and curse about their decision to participate in Bigg Boss 5. They are extremely tired and exhausted from cycling day and night to reach their next destination and complete the task. After all the complaining, the contestants finally reach Lucknow. As a part of the performance, Shakti Kapoor is dressed as a nawab while the others are dressed as Mujra dancers who try to entice the Nawab with their adas. Shakti is also assigned as a judge for this performance and he has to decide who the best and worst dancers are.

Sonika Kaaliraaman has a new task at hand – getting rid of a little bird that has flown into the house. While the bird keeps dodging her, Sonika asks Mandeep for help to get rid of the bird, but one look at the little thing and Mandeep hides in one of the bedrooms. A frantic Mandeep then reveals to Sonika that she has a deathly phobia of birds in an enclosed atmosphere. The wrestler can’t stop laughing at her misery.

The constant ragging causes the so-called head-strong contestant, Mandeep, to cry in front of Bigg Boss. She continues crying even after coming out of the confession room where she is consoled by the other contestants. Shakti Kapoor and Nihita Biswas have their first argument because Shakti is furious that Nihita is comparing herself to others and refusing to participate actively in the weekly task.

Later in the day, Pooja Misrra breaks down, saying that she feels targeted and completely misunderstood in the house. While Pooja feels hurt, Shonali is being highly appreciated by the contestants in the house for her helpful and cheerful personality. Feeling overwhelmed, Shonali also breaks down, being unable to accept all this positive feedback from her co-contestants. The contestants are told to provide their fellow contestants with feedback in one sentence or one word. Mandeep is appointed as a judge for this task. The contestants, however, are unable to follow the rules of the task due to which, Mandeep is punished.

Vida Samadzai is taken aback when she realizes that while she has limited friends outside the house, all contestants inside the house are being extremely friendly towards her and are willing to be her friends. This makes her extremely happy and she cries tears of joy.

Later in the night, Shraddha Sharma starts applying heavy makeup. When Shakti asks her why she is doing so, Shraddha replies it is for him. She wants to ensure that even if Shakti wakes up in the middle of the night to get himself a glass of water, he will see her looking beautiful for him.
