Four years after KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI, Amitabh Bachchan returns to television with BIGG BOSS. As the show’s “pop philosopher”, the bolly superstar will bridge the gap between contestant and viewer and analyse the moods and behaviour of the house inmates, apart from announcing and hand-holding the evicted every week. But what if bachchan had a say in who should be in the house?

When ‘he’ and ‘she’ meet, sparks fly. when ‘she’ and ‘she’ meet, more sparks will fly. there is no love lost between wife jaya bachchan and ex-flame rekha and they will ensure that things in the bigg boss house are explosive from the word go. and what will the man in the middle do? just sit back and enjoy!

Given the fact that he’s been caught, er, staring in photographs and on TV these past few years, here is at last a legitimate reason for pa-in-law (armed with 35 cameras) to keep a close eye on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. While in the house, Ash can have a catfight with Kareena Kapoor and once evicted, do a Kajra re with sasurji.

Will Bachchan’s sabse kareebi dost Amar Singh and friend-turned-foe Sonia Gandhi come together for votes? And what would Big B’s analysis of Sonia’s psychological behaviour be?

The Pop Philosopher’s next most kareebi dost Anil Ambani must be there with asli bada bhai Mukesh for company. A and A and A can then gang up against M.

The final TRP topper? Aamir Khan vs Shah Rukh Khan. No prizes for guessing which Khan the host with the most will be rooting for.

Psssst... And what if like last season, a pup makes its way into the house? What would Aamir/SRK call it?
