Selfies, item numbers, stand up comedy. The opening episode of 'Bigg Boss 8' was a complete entertainer. Host Salman Khan opened the show with contestants Karishma Tanna and Sonali Raut. A veteran on the Bigg Boss stage by now, Khan smoothly operated the show introducing 15 contestants turn by turn.
The contestants were then transferred to the Bigg Boss house, which looks like a crash site with an aircraft as a part of the house this season. The set this year has infused interiors of an airline within the set.
Some of the inmates from previous season of the reality show also made an appearance in the pilot episode of 'Bigg Boss 8'. While Salman's favourite Elli Evram introduced actor Upen Patel, Armaan Kohli introduced Arya Babbar on the show.
Gutthi aka Sunil Grover performed a small comic act with model Diandra Soares who is one of the inmates this year. Actors Minissha Lamba, Puneet Issar, Karishma Tanna and Deepshikha Nagpal are part of the show as well.
Dressed as a pilot, Salman kept all the introductions crisp and welcomed each of the inmates to the house. He compared Siberian model Natasa Stankovic to Elli and obliged the model with a selfie minutes before she entered the house. Perhaps to raise a few eyebrows right in the beginning of the show, Arya Babbar stated he would miss "sex and pizza the most" while staying inside the house.
After the introductions, Upen Patel, who's making quite a name already as a famous ladies man, struck up a conversation with women contestants. He even gave one of them a nickname. The first day after the grand opening saw inmates sleeping on the chairs inside the aircraft and waking up to the song, 'Yeh kahaan aa gaye hum' (nice touch, that). The day started on high note with most contestants behaving cheerfully and some wondering if they will get their luggage back. Sparks flew between Upen and Sukirti as they seem to enjoy each other's company more than that of others. From private conversations to already keeping nick names for each other, (Upen started calling Sukirti, "Sukku"), looks like these two clearly are heading somewhere.
Pranit Bhatt, who entered the house dressed as Shakuni Mama challenged the members of secret society, who had his luggage, to come out in front of everyone and speak face to face. While most got their luggage later in the day, six contestants- Pranit, Diandra, Sushant, Minissha, Upen and Karishma had to answer a few questions before the members would decide whom to give the luggage to. During the question answer round, it appeared that Sonali Raut was one of the least favourite contestants on the show with people calling her shy, introvert and someone who they might get into an argument with later
While most got their luggage back, Pranit and Diandra were not given their stuff back, as they, according to the secret society, had not answered the questions with absolute honesty.
The Indian adaptation of international show 'Celebrity Big Brother', the show features celebrities from different fields congregating under one roof, without any frills or connect with the outside world, and under constant prying of multiple cameras for three months. It features a lot of emotional highs and lows.
Salman Khan, 48, returns as the host for 'Bigg Boss' season eight, which premiered on September 21 on Colors.
