Here's all you need to know about Bigg Boss 12 contestants and the way they will be paired...

Controversial reality TV show Bigg Boss is one of the most popular ones on Indian Television, owing to its format and content. The Salman Khan hosted show is soon to go on air with its season 12 and this time the theme of the show is 'jodis' i.e., pairs. Since the show is reported to go on air on September 16, the excitement around the same is quite palpable. With just about a month left for the show to premiere, here we are with some hot scoop about the Bigg Boss 12 contestants. 

Sources close to the show suggest that this time there will be a total of 21 contestants on Bigg Boss 12. That's not all, out of these 21 contestants, 12 will make six real jodis. By jodis the makers don't necessarily mean a couple. The jodis can be those of any two people, who have some real life relation, for example, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, siblings, husband-wife, etc. Out of these six real life jodis, three will be celebrity jodis while other three will be jodis from the commoners. 

Moving on to the remaining nine contestants (out of the total 21) - out of these nine, six contestants will be paired in three jodis by the host Salman Khan on the day of Bigg Boss 12 premiere (September 16). 

Wondering what will happen to the remaining three contestants? Well, the remaining three contestants won't be paired with anyone else. They will apparently lead a single life inside the house and will be given a few special powers by Bigg Boss, for ther first few weeks into the game. 

While the confirmed list of contestants isn't out yet, here's some dope on what to expect from the participants this time. If the recent buzz is anthing to be believed, then of the real six jodis, there will be a gay couple, a saas-bahu jodi and a pair of twin sisters. The first promo that was released by the channel recently, also had a  twin sisters and saas-bahu jodis in Salman Khan's classroom. We wonder if that was to drop some hints for the viewers. In case you're wondering who the twin sisters are, let us give you some more hint. One of the twins is a DJ and the other is said to be a teacher. 

Several reports doing the rounds further suggest that there's a possibility of a transgender contestant and a sex worker too may be seen as one of the contestants on Bigg Boss 12

The names that have almost been confirmed are those of Milind Soman and his wife Ankita Konwar. Another jodi that is most likely to be seen on Bigg Boss 12 is that of TV actress Mahika Sharma and Danny D (who happens to be a pornstar). 

Well, if this turns out to be true, then it's quite an interesting bunch of contestants that'll be seen on Bigg Boss 12 this time. We're expecting nothing less than fireworks on TV, beginning September 16, when the show goes on air. Watch this space...
