The game begins

While lawyer SG Abbas,who represented Kasab,joined Bigg Boss because it was interesting,Sakshi Pradhan wants to exploit it as a reality medium.

I love taking up challenges be it representing terrorist Ajmal Kasab or entering Bigg Boss, declared SG Abbas Kazmi just before stepping into the house.

And before you think he is in it to clear his image after being sacked by special Judge ML Tahaliyani for not co-operating with the court,he clarifies,I dont know why people are discussing it but everyone is happy with the way I conducted the trial. I acted professionally and I dont need to clarify myself, he said dismissively. So,is he in it for the huge prize money?

I dont need money or fame, he shrugs. He tells you that the prospect of living with strangers attracted him to the show. The lawyer,who had never tuned into the show before,saw clips on YouTube when he was in talks with the channel.

However,Sakshi Pradhan,winner of MTV Splitsvilla who was also briefly in the news for a MMS scandal,is inside the house because its the biggest platform for a reality show. She is a tad nervous about being with industry veterans but is nevertheless confident of making a place for herself with her honest and straight talk.

For Nawazish Begum Ali,the famous chat show queen of Pakistan,who also had hosted a talk show Begum on Indian television a couple of years ago,Bigg Boss 4 is an opportunity to showcase her real self. People get to learn a participants personality inside- out and for somebody like me who is completely honest,it will be an interesting experience.

And Begum is ready to take on all the bitching and bickering that will be part of the show. I am a calm and composed person and dont get easily provoked, he offers.
