Bigg Boss 5 – Nihita Biswas out, Amar Upadhyay in

Karjat, Oct 9 (TruthDive): The female inmates will now have once-famous television actor Amar Upadhyay for company. The actor-turned-producer will enter the house this Monday.

Nihita Biswas, bikini killer Charles Sobhraj’s wife has been eliminated from the Bigg Boss 5 house. 23 years old Nihita was called ‘Chutki’ and ‘baby’ of the house. The youngest housemate is the first one to be out of the house and kept each one in the house entertained.

Though Nihita stayed in the Bigg Boss house for just six days, but her journey had enough ‘masala’. It includes arguments with Shraddha Sharma over cleaning dishes, defending her hubby Charles, sobbing over almost everything and much more. Well, what does it take to survive in the Bigg Boss house?

Earlier, the arrival of Sakthi Kapoor alone when the show opened last week, led viewers to assume that it would be an all-girls affair this time round. But with the exit of Nihita Biswas on Saturday night, the channel decided to rope in a male participant. It seems to be a tactic to infuse a new element of drama to keep audience interest alive. ‘Bigg Boss 5’ is set to get its second male participant in Amar Upadhyay.

Television’s one-time favourite son, Amar Upadhyay, whose claim to fame is the role of Mihir Virani from popular serial, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, will be seen entering the Bigg Boss 5 house. Having been in the television industry for over 10 years, Amar shares a rapport with Juhi Parmar. However, most of the contestants are relatively unknown to him.

Upadhyay left for Karjat, where the inmates are housed, on Saturday afternoon. “I have no game plan in mind. I have watched the show all of last week and am aware of how everyone is behaving,” he said. “Maybe I will have an advantage over the rest for a while, but then every day is a new day. So, I really don’t know what to expect.”

He promises to raise the heat inside rather than cool things down. “It’s going to be so much fun! Amar told over phone from Mumbai. “I am going to heat up the scene with the right kind of heat.”

On entering the house, a confident Amar said, “I decided to take up Bigg Boss 5 only to challenge myself because I am a very restless person and love parties, fast cars and long drives. The ladies in the house have only dealt with Shakti Kapoor so far; who I believe is an uncle. A real man is finally entering the house. Women don’t want to see Shakti Kapoor on screen – they want to see young blood like me. If audiences are expecting to see the Mihir side of me, they are going to be in for a shock. I am going to be myself, which is a far cry from what Mihir was!”
