All you need to know about the 'Bigg Boss Season 8' Grand Premiere

Written By Nikita Sharma | Updated: Sep 21, 2014, 07:13 PM IST

Finally Colors TV is back with the eighth edition of its controversial reality show- Bigg Boss. Like all other seasons, Bigg Boss Season 8 also has a new theme. This year's theme is 'Aircraft' and the BB08 flight took off in style. Salman Khan returned as the host for another season, dressed up in a pilot avatar. There has been endless conjecture about the contestants this season. Here's a wrap up of how the Season Premiere panned out. 

The final three contestants for 'Bigg Boss' revealed

After 12 passengers were packed into the Bigg Boss aircraft, Bigg Boss unveiled its trump card. Bringing in an innovative twist on the show, Bigg Boss has tagged the final three contestants- Puneet Issar, RJ Preetam and Deepshikha Nagpal as the Bigg Boss secret society. Not only will these three Bigg Boss agents have the power to dominate all the other passengers on the plane, they would also be safe from all nominations. Well, to some this twist must have seemed great but we say its too bland specially after Bigg Boss has gained a nice reputation of putting some delicious twists throughout its seasons.

Minissha Lamba is the twelfth contestant on the show

Bubbly and vivacious, Minissha Lamba started her Bollywood journey in Shoojit Sircar's Yahaan which went on to win hearts all over. She was lauded for her nuanced performances and she went on to do several other films, most of which bombed at the box office. Zila Ghaziabad was her last prominent Hindi film which sank without a trace. With her Bollywood career on the downturn, Minissha will definitely look forward to her Bigg Boss 8 stint. Given that she is usually cordial and sweet, it would be nice to see how long she survives in a house full of controversies!

After Soni Singh, Raj Babbar's son Arya Babbar enters the Bigg Boss 8 aeroplane

Yet another failed star kid who's filmy career failed to take off, Arya Babbar have played some really unforgettable roles- from Tees Maar Khan to Joker and Dangerous Ishq to name a few. His only role to date was the miniscule portion from Salman Khan's Ready and given he's already acted in a Salman film, there's no point for guessing that he would enjoy a special soft corner from the host. Hot-headed and temperamental, Arya can even do another Armaan Kohli this season. Call it a coincidence, Armaan is the one who introduces him performing together on the title track from Singham

Salman Khan finally reveals the biggest twist of the season.

Upen Patel enters the house to find that there is no house for the season. The Bigg Boss contestants will be locked up only inside an aeroplane built. With just 12 seats and a bathroom, it seems Bigg Boss 8 will give all the inmates a tough time. 

21:34 IST Sunday, 21 September 2014

Upen Patel is finally taken to the Bigg Boss house in a grand style. Blindfolded, Upen lands up in the house with a huge parachute.

Upen Patel enters the Bigg Boss 8 house:

Upen Patel grooves to Salman Khan's Devil song from Kick. Elli Avram, last year's foreign import introduces Upen Patel. 

Technically this would not be Upen Patel's first stint on television. Well, if you did not know, Upen used to host a cookery show- Cook Na Kaho on television years back before jumping onto the Bollywood bandwagon with 36 China Town. With his casanova image, Upen will be hot favourite among girls. Who knows he might just end up falling in love on the show.

Karishma Tanna and Sonali Raut are the first two contestants of 'Bigg Boss 8'

TV star Karishma Tanna is all set to raise the oomph level on the show. But other than that, she will be one of the toughest contenders on the show and given the show's previous winners, Karishma might just even end up as the winner. Only if she keeps a tab on all her melodrama!

Sonali Raut was one the first person to publicise her entry on the show and if you still cannot recollect who she is, we don't blame you! She was Himesh Reshammiya's girl in The Expose. Hot and seductive, she might also bring the house down with her maneuvers. Have you forgotten the ugly spat between her and the other heroine from the film? If yes, don't worry, you will catch all the drama once again this season.
