All about big boss 3 — After Packup

Is Bigg Boss Season 3 going to be all about stuffy, creaking old men? First, we have Mr Bachchan as the pop psychologist (don’t ask him what that means, because he has no clue either), who will turn 68 in a few days. Then, we hear that, horror of horrors, Pramod Mutahlik, the leader of Ram Sena, may be in, too.

Baba Ramdev, bless his soul, opted out of the show. Else, he’d have added to the count of hairy scary men.

And, now, it seems that Rajesh Khanna is tipped to be in Bigg Boss house. For God’s sake, is he even alive? From where are the Colors people digging out these relics from? Whom will you stuff in next? Shammi Kapoor?

Much as I hate to say it, for once my heart was gladdened to know that Sherlyn Chopra will be there in all her booby grandeur. After all, one does need some eye candy when boxed in with such botoxed and starched men. Apart from handling all the male attention, she will be expected to take on some bitchy responsibilities previously handled by Payal Rohtagi. I’m sure Sherlyn won’t let us down.

But who will take Rahul Mahajan’s place? I don’t see any of the elderlies coming anywhere close to the craziness quotient of Jr Mahajan. I have a suggestion for the channel people: why not rope in Mika? You can count on him any day to be crazy, with or without a camera watching. And it can do wonders for your TRP.
