From newsrooms to Bigg Boss house: Journalists in the spotlight

We have recently read about Sr journalist Deepak Chaurasia stepping into the spotlight as a contestant on the Bigg Boss show. However, Chaurasia is not the first from his profession to enter the famed reality show. Over the years, Bigg Boss has welcomed several prominent journalists who have brought their unique perspectives and questioning styles to the house.

In a memorable appearance, Rajat Sharma, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of India TV, joined Bigg Boss 13 with his iconic "Aap Ki Adalat" format. Sharma's stint included a notable episode where he grilled the show's host, Salman Khan, in his signature interrogative style, adding a layer of depth and engagement to the season.

Senior journalist Dibang made his mark in Bigg Boss 17, where he took on the role of questioning contestants about their gameplay and strategies. His participation added an element of accountability and insight, reflecting his journalistic rigor.

Entertainment journalist Shefali Bagga entered the Bigg Boss 13 house, alongside well-known television personalities such as Rashami Desai, Siddharth Shukla, Devoleena Bhattacharjee, and Dalljiet Kaur. Bagga's involvement brought an entertainment industry insider's view to the audience, enriching the narrative of the season.

Journalist Jigna Vora appeared as a contestant in Bigg Boss 17. Vora, whose life story inspired the widely discussed Netflix series 'Scoop', emerged as a formidable participant. Her case gained national attention in 2011 when she was arrested for allegedly conspiring with gangster Chhota Rajan in the murder of veteran crime reporter Jyotirmoy Dey. Vora's presence in the house added a dramatic and compelling element to the season.

Deepak Chaurasia’s entry into Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 continues this tradition of journalists in the Bigg Boss house.
