The second season of TV reality
show Bigg Boss will have controversy galore. With politicians Rahul Mahajan
and Sanjay Nirupam, notorious British reality TV star Jade Goody and gangster
Abu Salem's companion Monica Bedi among many others, the show will make
for exciting viewing over the next three months.
Fourteen contestants including

with no access to telephones or television, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty,
who had won the international format of the show Celebrity Big Brother

Shilpa had emerged winner
despite racist remarks in Celebrity Big Brother by Goody, who has now come
to India to "change people's perception" about her.
Also, Payal Rohatgi's reported
closeness with Rahul Mahajan was also earlier this month, an alleged reason
for his break-up with his wife Shweta.

Rahul Mahajan
Rahul Mahajan (born 1974)
in a Maharashtrian Deshastha Brahmin family is an Indian politician. He
is son of the late Indian politician, Pramod Mahajan.
Rahul Mahajan came into
the news when his father was shot by his own brother and struggled for
his life for twelve days before succumbing. Television footage showed him
comforting his sister and mother and maintaining a stoic demeanour. There
were rumours that Mahajan would be inducted into the BJP to follow his
father's footsteps.
However, exactly a month
after his father's death on June 3, 2006, Mahajan was hospitalized after
an alleged cocaine overdose. His father's secretary, Bibek Maitra was also
rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. The two had
imbibed a cocktail of drugs along with champagne. Mahajan recovered, but
on his discharge from hospital on June 6 2006, he was arrested by the Delhi
Police on charges of drug possession and consumption.
The case has become more
complex because there are several different versions of what happened that
night, and the fact that Apollo Hospital, where the two were admitted,
said in a press conference that Mahajan's toxin screens were negative for
all known drug types. An independent testing of Mahajan's blood has yielded
different results, with high quantities of opiates detected in his blood
sample. Apollo hospital has since changed their answer, saying that traces
of barbiturates and opiates were found in his bloodstream. The forensics
lab, after examining Mahajan's gastric lavage, has declared that heroin
had been consumed, probably after mistaking it to be cocaine, and the Indian
press has compared the incident to the movie Pulp Fiction. |
In July 2006, he got engaged
to Shweta Singh-Mahajan someone who he has known for 13 years. They were
in flying school together in the US, and also flew for the Indian airline
Jet Airways. This engagement is a little controversial in its timing, with
people wondering why it was so sudden. The wedding took place on August
29 at 'Blue Sea', a marriage hall at Worli sea face in Central Mumbai near
the Mahajan residence. The marriage was reportedly on rocks for sometime
with serious allegation of beating that Rahul meted out to his new wife.
Shweta Mahajan filed for divorce on 13-Dec-2007. Shweta has filed for divorce
on grounds of incompatibility and mutual consent of both parties.

Raja Choudhary
Raja Choudhary - Raja better
know as Ex-husband of Shweta Tiwari (Prerna of Kaasuati Zindagi Ki) was
all in news for her problems with his wife Shweta and the matter went to
court. Raja started on an emotional note saying that he is doing all these
for his daughter Palak and probably she might understand that he was not
wrong. Hmmm, we understand your feelings, we will see what all you have
to say about your relationship with your wife and the problems you had!
Participant in Dance Based
Reality Show. Raja Chaudhary was getting passionate with his heroine Raina
Mukherjee during a lovemaking scene for his film Kuch Khel Kuch Masti.
A source from the sets says,
“Raja is paired opposite this new girl Raina Mukherjee. His wife Shweta
visits the sets whenever possible. Once, during the shooting of an intimate
scene between Raja and Raina, she got pretty upset and created a huge scene
on the sets. There was chaos after that. She made her displeasure very
clear, in loud words, and there was tension all round, on the sets. The
shoot was stalled while Raja took her to a corner and tried to convince
her about the scene.” However, when contacted, Raja Chowdhury obviously
had a different version of the same story. He said, “Yes there is this
one song where I have very intimate scenes with the leading lady Raina.
However, I told Shweta about it before, and she understood.” |

Stand up comedian who has
this habit of dragging the last word and making comic peotry out of anything.

Ek din, main Delhi pahuncha,
Station pe ek coolie se
bahar jane ka rasta pooncha.
Coolie ne kaha: "Bahar jaake
poocho."
Maine khud hi rasta dhundh

pooncha:
"Bhai saab Lal Kile ka kitna
loge?"

Monica Bedi
Monica Bedi (born January
18, 1975, Hoshiarpur, Punjab, India) is an Indian actress and companion
of gangster Abu Salem. He used his influence in Bollywood to get her acting
roles in Bollywood productions. Their companionship was an example of the
underworld-filmdom nexus between Mumbai and Bollywood.
In September 2002, she was
arrested along with Abu Salem by the Lisbon police for entering Portugal
with forged documents. After years of legal battle, they were deported
to India in November 11, 2005, after India promised Portugal that Salem
would not receive death sentence.
On 29th September 2006,
an Indian Court convicted Monica Bedi for passport forgery. CBI had filed
a case against Bedi under section 420 (cheating), 120 B (criminal conspiracy)
and section 12 of the Passport Act for procuring a passport on a fictitious
name.
Bedi was acquitted of all
criminal charges by a Bhopal court on July 16 2007 due to lack of evidence
against her. Yet another case for possessing a passport from Hyderabad
on forged documents in the name of Sana Malik is pending in a Hyderabad
court. |
The Hyderabad Court however
denied her bail in the case as she failed to produce her original passport.
Monica said she lost her passport in Dubai. On July 25 2007 she was released
from the Chanchalguda Central Jail and was received by her father Prem
Kumar Bedi. She said that she planned to make a comeback to films and claimed
