With a new Bigg Boss new season (Bigg Boss OTT) on the anvil, we at tellyexpress.com have started a new series discussing what we can expect from the latest list of inmates. The challenge for this lot is more with their entire day(24*7) under public scrutiny, unlike prior seasons where most just saw two-hour edits.
Our first housemate is Ridhima Pandit. This celeb manager turned actor has always been conscientious about cultivating a prim and proper image. She also handled her break-up( Kushal Tandon) with great dignity.
Work-wise, she has got a robust CV boasting of both fiction( Bahu Hamari Rajni Kant and Hum – I’m Because of Us) and non-fiction outings( The Drama Company, Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 9, etc.) But now, with Bigg Boss, it will be open season regarding her personal life. The media will dig deep into what and why. A lot of hidden secrets might come tumbling out of the closet! She, too, might unwittingly let down her guard. Once you’re in, most contestants do let go of inhibitions; that is the nature of the Bigg Boss beast. Her repeated fun sparring in Khatra Khatra Khatra might prep her for the nasty spats which frequently abound Bigg Boss.
Since this 31-year-old is officially single and there are few hot looking hunks in the mix, we hope some sparks fly; young romance always sells. Internet kids will wait for her pool moments(swimwear) with her possible guy.
Ridhima always looks a million dollars in all her outfits. Will she continue the same chic parade or take on a more dare bare avatar? Apart from the masala, we might also get a sneak peek into her mettle, how much pressure she can take or whether she can assume a leadership role?
We will also find out about Ridhima’s culinary and house management skills or the lack of them. Will she also add layers to her sense of humour, as seen in The Drama Company? Let’s face it, Bigg Boss was never for the goody-good or the faint-hearted.
She will also hope that Bigg Boss OTT host Karan Johar likes her, for he only casts friends in his films. I am sure that she will make it to the main house on Colors, which might be advantageous when the other biggies enter.
The most challenging part will be mental stamina to stay locked for a very long time. ( The entire season might last Feb next year) sans family and mobile. Will she sustain this isolation? or would they give her a Rahul Vaidya kind of break! (he returned after quitting )
