Shiney’s House Arrest

The Bigg Boss house has a host in the eccentric Salman Khan, but the TV show is still zoning in on its inmates.

The Bigg Boss house has a host in the eccentric Salman Khan, but the TV show is still zoning in on its inmates. Since the wilder the better, the channel has reportedly tried to go one-up on their casting of alleged wife-beater Rahul Mahajan last season by roping in Shiney Ahuja, infamously accused of rape. Word is that negotiations with the actor broke down, as did discussions with—gulp—Rajesh Khanna. Kakaji was keen, but sources gossip that the erstwhile superstar wanted the cameras shut off once he retired to a private room every day for his evening round of Scotch whisky. Aghast, the show heads said nothing doing. What a let down… Bigg Boss could have orchestrated Kaka’s great comeback.
