In an unprecedented move for the popular reality show (hosted by Salman Khan), Bigg Boss Hindi 19 contestant Tanya Mittal has entered the house with a staggering 800 sarees. The entrepreneur, known for her advocacy of Indian textiles, declared that she plans to wear three different sarees daily. A social activist and fashion enthusiast, she is not in the mood to leave her luxurious indulgences behind. Viewers believe that it is her way of making headlines and becoming a favourite of fashion lovers, especially among women.
Some contestants on international versions of the show have also made headlines. On Big Brother Australia, contestants have often been allowed to bring personal items that reflect their identity or a part of their work. Big Brother USA has seen houseguests bring everything from a single, sentimental item to extensive workout equipment (yes, gym stuff!).
Bigg Boss Telugu's new season (Season 9) is currently on the anvil. Hosted by Akkineni Nagarjuna, it has been preceded by a pre-show titled Agnipariksha. This one features 45 commoners and is streaming on Jio Hotstar.
