Bollywood Gossip (Mumbai): The second season of reality show "Big Boss" is all set to hit television screens Aug 17 and will be hosted by Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty on entertainment channel Colors.

It would be the first reality show to be telecast on all seven days of the week, Rajesh Kamat, CEO of Colors, said a press conference here announcing the programme's launch date.

The Indian version of the popular British reality show "Big Brother", "Big Boss" will see 14 people, including celebrities, locked into a house under the surveillance of over 30 cameras for a period of three months. These housemates will have no contact with the outside world.

Bollywood Actress Shilpa Shetty, who won "Big Brother" last year, was almost a natural choice to host the second season of the Indian version. And she had a word of advise to those participating in the show.

"The winner needs to just be oneself ... that's the main mantra," Shilpa said.

The actress also emphathised with the participants as she had been through the situation herself.

"I'll try to give them a little respite as I know that they will be going through a tough time. I remember what it was to live with strangers in a house cut off from the outside world with nobody to trust and vouch for," she said.

Asvini Yardi, programming head of Colors, said Shilpa would be more like a mentor for the participants as she has gone through a similar experience.

CEO Kamat refused to divulge the names of the participants and said they would be revealed only on Aug 17 - the first episode.

He said that the second season would see many additions to the first one.

"For the fist time we have included newsmakers as well as common people on the show. Besides, we are also introducing a half-an-hour live and unedited slot everyday starting second week that will be aired at 12.30 a.m."

While there won't be any privacy, the house located on the outskirts of Mumbai would have no phones, television, internet, books or even a clock.

The 14 participants competing for a prize money of Rs.7.5 million will be allowed to bring only essential items to the house and they would have to cook and clean the place themselves.

Participants are voted out by housemates and the audiences periodically. The first season of "Bigg Boss" was aired in 2006 on Sony Television.

It has been a while since Television's Bahu No 1, Smriti Irani, has been talking to venturing into films. But it is official now. Smriti will be producing a Hindi film in joint collaboration with UTV.

According to sources, the film is expected to be a comedy and it is expected to hit the floors in the second half of this year. Smriti has confirmed the news and revealed that the script for the film is being penned by Kamesh Pandey of Rang De Basanti fame, and Imtiaz Patel, who has written for many David Dhawan films. Kamlesh and Imtiaz have also been associated with Smriti for a while now. The cast of the film is being finalized. It will have two male leads and one female lead. The television actress-cum-producer, was however, tightlipped about who would direct the film. All that she is willing to reveal on the subject is the fact that the comedy will be of a kind never explored before in Indian cinema.

While we thank you for taking the trouble of reading this news item (maybe due to our headline!), but please do not let your imagination run wild, as we do not mean what has brought you here.

Since we believe in straight and factual stories, and keeping the tradition alive, we are simply talking about the interesting character that Kareena Kapoor plays in the sequel to Rohit Shetty's successful comedy flick, GOLMAAL - FUN UNLIMITED, aptly titled GOLMAAL RETURNS.

As per the top actress, who is on a high, following the commercial and critical success of JAB WE MET, she is essaying the role of Ajay Devgan's wife, in the sequel to GOLMAAL -FUN UNLIMITED and plays a 'saas-bahu' serial addict. She goes by the name of Ektaa in the movie. Quite a coincidence, isn't it? She also has the dubious distinction of being a suspicious ('shaqqi') wife, maybe due to the influence of the soaps in her daily life, like countless others!

Shillong, September 24: The hills of Meghalaya were on song until Sunday midnight, but it all went out of tune when local singing sensation Amit Paul was edged out by Darjeeling cop Prashant Tamang in the hugely popular television contest Indian Idol.

Thousands of people had been singing and dancing to the accompaniment of drums and guitars in the streets of Shillong and most parts of Meghalaya since dusk Sunday, eagerly waiting for Amit to win the Indian Idol title.

But when Bollywood macho star John Abraham raised the hand of Prashant declaring him the Indian Idol - based on 70 million votes received on SMS or over the phone lines - the music was abruptly stilled.

The Meghalaya fans rallied fast, however.

'We are really taken aback by the result, but for us Amit is the winner, having won the hearts of millions of fans and more importantly, uniting the ethnically polarized northeast through music,' John F. Kharshiing, spokesperson of the Federation of Khasi States, the apex body campaigning for legal status for the durbars in Meghalaya, told.

It was pure hysteria in the whole of Meghalaya in the run-up to the grand finale Sunday night telecast on Sony TV with Amit and Prashant vying for the coveted crown.


'Let's accept the reality, don't cry for me. I am soon coming back to Shillong. I really thank and love you all from the bottom of my heart for supporting me throughout my musical journey on Indian Idol,' Amit told by telephone from New Delhi, the venue of the finals.

But people back home were in tears - hundreds of people, both young and old who remained awake to celebrate a possible victory broke down, some of them even wailing, unable to accept the verdict.

'For us Amit is the new role model, some sort of a youth icon for generation next to emulate that music is one medium that unites the hearts cutting across cultural and ethnic barriers,' Meghalaya Education Minister R.G. Lyngdoh said.

Amit, 24, is a Bengali-speaking youth born and brought up in Shillong - a city that was witness to a string of bloody ethnic riots in the mid-80s between tribals and non-tribals. The growing schism in the northeast between the indigenous population and 'outsiders', a term broadly used for people speaking other Indian languages, has become a matter of concern.

In this context, the euphoria and the support from people across the northeast for Amit is heartening.

'We have conferred him the honorary title of Meghalaya's Brand Ambassador to foster peace, communal harmony, and excellence,' Meghalaya Chief Minister D.D. Lapang said.

Lapang personally spearheaded the campaign to drum up support for Amit.

From government offices to the tribal king's durbars, the chief minister's secretariat to the Raj Bhawan, and schools and colleges - the only topic of discussion in the past few weeks in the northeastern state of Meghalaya was the Indian Idol contest.

'The Amit phenomenon could very well unite the northeast, especially in states like Nagaland and Manipur where the ethnic divide is so huge. We want more such talents from the region to come up so that we can stand united without any bloodshed,' said Kishore Singh, a young college student in Manipur's capital Imphal.

'The topic of discussion for the next few days would surely be Amit. Maybe Prashant got lot of votes from Nepal because he is a Nepali boy. Maybe Nepal came in the way of Amit's victory,' said a dejected Paul Marbaniang, a college student.
