Megalomaniacs Abound In Bigg Boss Season 3

Bigg Boss Season 3 on Colors has turned out to be as neurotic as the previous seasons. There are petty food fights, jealousies, personality clashes and hair fall due to dandruff.

Should we even be discussing these megalomaniac celebrities? Some think its a waste of time but these high and mighty personalities fall like pixie dust when it comes to living the mundane lives and scuttle like rats in the Bigg Boss cage. If that isn't interesting, what is?

Two people have been evicted till now - Rakhi Sawant's estranged mother- Jaya Sawant and Kamal Khan, the actor from Deshdrohi.

According to Kamal Khan he went loco at Bigg Boss's house to save the item girl Sherlyn Chopra's scrawny ass. A little tarnish on the knight's shining armour is no biggie in Bigg Bose's house. Kamal knew he was hated by the inmates and didn't seem too eager to hang around and deal with the rat infestation. Sherlyn, however, wanted to be part of the pack so Mr Khan used it to his advantage- leave like a nice bloke and white wash all his past obnoxious behavior at the Bigg Boss's house.

But then again, all the shit he did could be make believe for the hits, right?

However, some things are real like Rohit Verma's incessant need to give in to tears. When Bakhtiyar and Kamal Khan were sent to jail he howled and then a couple of nights later he sniffled when at the Bigg Boss home the inhabitants joked about him cooking and he ran out of the room brawling his eyes out. And no, gays do not behave in this pansy wansy way. He does not represent the gay community. He represents his own cry baby self!

Then there is Bakhtiyar and his sunny irritating wife - Tanaaz Irani who have their Bold and Beautiful love fights happening on Prime Time television just about every second day. Tanaaz, with her bubbling personality is quite a handful. There is only so much sunshine one can take - intense sunny positivity leads to corrosive wilting, sunstroke and death. Beneath all that happy personality is a vicious streak manifested by a cruel tongue. It didn't take her long to bitch about Sherlyn and her hair loss and for Mr Verma (who btw is losing hair as well) nodded and blame it on dandruff.

Which also explains the love for wigs by Rohit and scrawny Sherlyn.

Sherlyn Chopra seems to be the only one to feel the desperate need to stay at Bigg Boss's house. She bears the air of a hobo in Bollywood and her entrance into Bigg Boss' home a charity dinner instead of being turned to the soup kitchen. She made a pale reflection of an item girl to Rakhi Sawant. Her days are numbered since the greasy smell of desperation makes her unlikable by the mediocre female bitchie celebrities.

Poonam Dhillion seems to be the only classy 'show piece' amongst the women. Nice people cannot last on Bigg Boss and there are nice people in that corny little rat cage.

There is the comedian Raju Srivastav a good natured soul from Kanpur caught in the melee of personality clashes. He tries to remain out of the war zone and despite his comedy routines and spreading of laughter blends into the background like a pleasant wall flower.

Another talkative soul on the show grunting away is Vindu Dara Singh. If there is anyone who needs a zaaban pe lagam (reign in his tongue) is Mr Singh. His incessant inane conversation could drive any intelligent individual up the wall. But its his gossipy nature which keeps him aboard in that neurotic house.

The one with the most vicious tongue on the show who makes Kamal Khan look like a little runt is Ismail Darbar. Not only does he have ego hassels with most of the inmates but his arrogance on the show makes him a difficult fellow to like.

Then there are the three pretty wall flowers of Bigg Boss. Nice enough women with no outstanding obnoxious trait to help them stand out.

There is Claudia Ciesla - the blond bimbo, Shamita Shetty - Shilpa Shetty's younger sister and Aditi Govitrikar- the doctor turned model. These three babes despite their hot bodies lack the oomph of Rakhi Sawant and are probably too well behaved to leave a lasting mark in the tinsel town.

Bigg Boss is akin to desi Jerry Springer. There is a layer of unreal greasiness to the show that oils our voyeuristic judgemental streak.

Though the show is well into its third season it remains very popular and Amitabh Baachan's presence on the show has the calming influence of Ashok Kumar on Hum Log.
