Nice guys don't often come first. So, goes the popular saying. This holds true for Zulfi Syed who failed to win Bigg boss 2 despite being touted as a favourite.

Raja Chaudhary. The very mention of this name evokes anger even amongst those who don’t know him.

Aryan Vaid who is known more for his Casanova image rather than his career is still in the minds of telly-viewers for his stint in Bigg Boss.

Redemption was her motto and that’s what brought estranged actress Monica Bedi to Bigg Boss 2. Two stints later into the Boss house, one can at least assume that she’s succeeded in her first step towards redemption.

Since July 2008, Monica found herself in a jail of different kind. She may not have won Bigg Boss 2 but Monica is thrilled that her troubled life is back on track. She owes this change to Bigg Boss.

Finally the long wait is over. Sony's prime time show, Durgesh Nandini (which replaces Bigg Boss) is all set to be aired on 5th February. Touted as an inspiration from Bhankimchandra's classic by the same name, Durgesh Nandini gives a great opportunity to new comer Rinku Ghosh (the protagonist) to make a noteworthy debut on television.
