Debojit Saha new challenge Bigg Boss 2

.

Voice of India Debojit Saha writes about a challenge he has picked — to test his inner strength...

By the time you read this, I will be totally cut off from you and everyone else as I go into Bigg Boss house in Lonavala in Mumbai where I will spend, if I am lucky, three months. Those who watch TV and like reality shows must know by now what I am speaking about. Bigg Boss 2 is being hailed as one of the biggest TV reality shows in India and I am proud to be part of it. But to be frank, I am also a little scared.

I had viewed one or two episodes of the earlier Bigg Boss show and wondered what made the participants behave in the way they did — intolerant, rude and even on the verge of violence.

I could understand the moment I was told about life I will be spending over the next few weeks.

Bigg Boss, I am sure by now, is nothing like the musical reality shows I am accustomed to.

First let me tell you about the company I will have 13 others from different walks of like which also include Monika Bedi, comedian Ehsan Qureishi, actress Payal Rohatgi and politician Sanjay Nirupam (who has been eliminated since then) and Rahul Mahajan.

Now the biggest challenge. We will be totally cut off from the outside world. And when I mean totally that means there will be no TV, no phone, no Internet, no books, no newspapers and not even a music system! And 32 strategically-placed cameras will scan every move we make, every breath we take. Thank god, they have not put cameras in the bathrooms.

Which also means that I will not be able to speak even to my wife Vandana for the time till I am in the show.

When I agreed for the show, I was also told that Bigg Boss would give the contestants some tasks on a weekly or a daily basis, through which they will earn their weekly budget. The group will use the budget to buy food items to survive in the house.

I will not go into details of other aspects of the show. But one fan asked me why I agreed to the show.

I believe that the show will be a test of endurance, not physical but mental. It will also be a test of my character. Being a singer does not make me a great human being.

Will the show make me a better man? Let me see. If I survive the test, I will have a lot of things to tell you. Till then, goodbye.
