Actor Shilpa Shetty will anchor the second season of reality show Bigg Boss, the Indian version of Big Brother, which is all set to hit the small screen soon. However, the twist in the tale is that it will be aired on Colors, Viacom 18’s new Hindi general entertainment channel.
Sources said Bigg Boss Season 2 will go on the air in August and will be a daily show for three months. The show will replace Akshay Kumar-hosted Fear Factor — Khatron Ke Khiladi, which is slated to go on the air from today.
“The channel intends to take the show to a higher level and hence has roped in Shilpa Shetty,” added an insider from the channel. However, it is not clear whether Shetty has come on board as a participant or a host.
Shilpa Shetty made headlines all across the globe after she won the international version of the British show, Big Brother, last year. The 33-year-old Indian actor was the first Bollywood star to be a contestant and to have won the Celebrity Big Brother show after having faced racial discrimination from fellow participants.
