Rochelle Rao

Suyyash Rai
Suyyash Rai of Badtameez Dil fame will be entering the house with girlfriend Kishwer Merchant. Speaking about his participation he says, “It was all very sudden. I was busy with Badtameez Dil when I got a call from Bigg Boss. I’ve always been scared of the show. Spending three months with unknown people is a challenge. Luckily for me I’m doing the show with Kishwer.” So has he quit Badtameez Dil? “I’m blessed to have understanding producers. I gave them a 45 days notice and told them that I have another project. I asked them to give me break. They assured me that I could always return to the show.”
Yuvika Chaudhary
Bollywood starlet Yuvika Chaudhary too will be in the house. She says, “I’m a homely girl. I took this show up as a challenge. My only preparation is shopping for clothes, I didn’t think of anything else.” With couples on the show, as a single contestant does she feel threatened? “ The couples may have the advantage as they would have double the number of votes but then Bigg Boss may have something else in mind. You never know what they have planned.”
