Sidhu recalls funny sides of Kapil and Sachin

Former cricketer turned comedy circus judge, Navjot Singh Sidhu, has recalled some hilarious and interesting trivial about cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev from his own batting days during his current stint as a housemate in the realty TV show, Bigg Boss 6.

While in conversation with other housemates at Bigg Boss this week, Sidhu shared the lost trivia of a young debutant Sachin Tendulkar actually sleepwalking during their tour to Pakistan in 1989. "It was Sachin's first test match in Pakistan. One night I was surprised to see a dazed looking Tendulkar walking out of his hotel room and mumbling in Marathi ''maajha bat, maajha bat (my bat, my bat)''. That's when we realised that he was actually sleepwalking,'' Sidhu reminisced at the Bigg Boss show.

Sidhu also praised Tendulkar for fearlessly facing the scorching deliveries of Waqar Younis, even after a bouncer had hit Sachin hard, causing his nose to bleed profusely. Despite being injured, Sachin refused to budge from the wicket and determinedly said, "Main khelega (I will play)'', which earned him a lot of respect among his Indian team mates and also in the Pakistan camp.

However, the sleepwalking incident about Sachin had only once hit the newspaper headlines in 1989 -- after which there were no more stories about the master blaster's somnambulism. Now, after 23 years, Sidhu revived those days in whites.

The turbaned Sikh known for his smart one-liners or 'Sidhuisms', also recalled the time when India was playing test series against West Indies in 1983. "Kapil paaji (Dev) had taken a record nine wickets and all the international mediapersons wanted to interview him. I cautioned Kapil not to face the Press, as his English was not very good in those days. Instead, I suggested that we should go and watch actress Meenakshi Seshadiri in the hit film Hero. However, Kapil decided to let the international media interview him,'' said Sidhu.

When repeatedly asked why a big country like India could not produce another fast bowler like him, Kapil famously quipped that 'his mother was very old, and his father was no longer alive -- hence there cannot be another Kapil Dev'!

This trivia about Kapil 'paaji' had the Bigg Boss inmates in splits this week.

Aashkha-Urvashi accuse Niketan!

Every other day some or the other drama is seen in Bigg Boss house , but this season is truly different as the tiffs between inmates are on some petty things.We had already seen a few days back that a lot of  chaos had happened (while budget allocation) over coffee and it seems that was not enough, now the latest thing to happen inside the notorious house is Urvashi and Aashkha accusing Niketan of being selfish.

Here are the details- it so happens that Niketan keeps the coffee bottle above the fridge and Urvashi happens to see the bottle. This gives rise to a big drama as Urvashi and Aashkha go on to say that Niketan is selfish enough to hide the coffee bottle for this long. Not just that, they also say that they make food and share it with everyone so why does Niketan have to do something like this.

With all this , looks like the Bigg game has already begun!

Nominations sets the Bigg Boss 6 house on fire

 The housemates are reeling from one shock and Bigg Boss puts them in another predicament as he announces the commencement of the coming week's nominations. All the housemates go inside the confession room and nominate two contestants each with the exception of Navjot Singh Sidhu who refuses to cast in his votes as he feels it is going against his principles. Bigg Boss warns Sidhu that if he doesn't nominate anybody, he will be forced to punish him. Sidhu accepts his punishment willingly.

Introducing a twist in the tale, Bigg Boss announces Sidhu's punishment - he nominates every housemate in the house for eviction! The minute the announcement is made, all the housemates are shell shocked. A few laugh, but most of them are upset & angry. Sidhu is fine with this harsh punishment. Soon the housemates split up in small groups and start discussing this unforeseen situation. The housemates argue, discuss and eventually fall asleep in a disturbed state of mind.

The next morning the arguments, discussions and repercussions of the nominations continue as the housemates discuss whether the punishment meted out is fair on everyone. The housemates take turns and explain their point of view to Sidhu & request him to consider nominating somebody and not make everyone else suffer. Vrijesh & Niketan play the biggest role in convincing Sidhu to nominate two housemates. Here, we see Urvashi and Rajeev get in to an argument as Urvashi blames Rajeev for having a fickle nature - one moment talking highly of Sidhu yet at the same time not respecting his decision to not nominate anyone. Finally, however, Sidhu gives in and nominates two people he wants evicted from the house. In the end, three housemates are nominated for next week's eviction, allowing the other housemates to breathe a sigh of relief. After that, a face off is announced between the nominated three, out of which the winner will be exempted from eviction.

The face off keeps the housemates entertained, leaving the most deserving winner excited about being saved from eviction. After many ups and downs, the day ends on a high note as Bigg Boss sends in Karan Johar's gift hamper for the housemates. Sapna Bhavnani is the most excited and literally jumps on Vrijesh and dances all around the house along with the other housemates, happy on receiving 'coffee' from Karan - indeed a big luxury in the Bigg Boss house!

Bigg Boss 6: Common man Kashif Qureshi’s entry courtesy Salman Khan?

Salman Khan, the host of the show had promised that this edition of the show will cater to the family audience. And so far it has been quite suitable for family viewing. But what will raise eyebrows is the fact that the entry of common man Kashif Qureshi as an inmate of the house is reportedly a planned one.

A leading daily has confirmed that the superstar apparently knows Kashif since his film ‘Wanted’. Qureshi happens to be a personal trainer of a Hyderabadi businessman Hamed Saberi, who knows Salman personally.

Talking to the daily, Hamed Saberi said, “We are close to Salman bhai. Being my personal trainer, Kashif has met Salman many times in the past. In fact, he did help choreograph a few stunt sequences while Salman was shooting ‘Wanted’.”

Saberi was quick enough to add, “Kashif is a very hard working and focused boy. He had to go through a process of screening before he was selected. His entry into the ‘Bigg Boss’ house will surely do him a lot of good. It will help him get great exposure and more work.”
