After winning Bigg Boss [Images], Ashutosh Kaushik will make his way to the reality show's original, Big Brother. The youngster, who owns a dhaba in Uttar Pradesh [Images], will leave for London [Images] -- where the Big Brother house is located -- on December 25. He will join the show from its second week.

Ashutosh will be the second Indian celebrity to be a part of Big Brother, after Shilpa Shetty [Images], who won the show last year amid much controversy.

This will be his third reality show after Bigg Boss and MTV Roadies, both of which he won.

Will his winning streak make him third time lucky? Let's wait and watch.

Why?

Boring.

I doubt they'd want another Indian housemate.

[noahman]

That would be cool but why
Shilpa was an actress
but he is just a ex-reality star from an india reality show
I dont know why he would be on celebrity big brother
maybe its a twist

Why not? It wasn't the Indian housemate that caused the trouble last time.

You can't just say "Because some idiots were racist last time around we are never having Indian housemates on the show ever again" that is punishing the victim and rewarding the bully.

Plus not every white person is racist, it is unlikely to happen again.

Bigg Boss is a celebrity series. Ash I believe was known from other reality shows before he went on Big Boss.

So what does the "C" in CBB stand for?

[Cody™]

This is a bad bad move.

Firstly, nobody knows him!!! He was the winner of Big Boss in India - a show which was barely watched by an average audience of around 2m [probably even less] in a country with a population hitting a billion.

Secondly, that show was never shown in the UK, so theres a select few that do know him in India but apart from that nobody has a clue of who he is here.

Atleast Shilpa Shetty was a massive bollywood star, that all asians knew. This guy is literally a nobody.

The thing is, he might be a celeb in other peoples eyes in other countries but he's not here.

How many of your average Big Brother fans had orginally heard of Shilpa Shetty before she went in Big Brother?

I never knew Carole Malone but she was a housemate last time. I never knew Donny Tourette either but he was in there too.

May as well give him a go, loads of hms havent been that famous really

Bigg Boss 2 winner Ashutosh Kaushik has ruled out appearing on Celebrity Big Brother.

The Indian reality TV winner said that he had been getting lots of calls about the British show, but insisted that he has no plans to take part.

"I don't understand where the news has surfaced from?," he told IANS. "I am constantly getting calls and messages regarding the same and I am very irritated.

"Even my relatives have been scolding me for not telling them about it. How do I tell anyone about it when I am not going for Big Brother?"

Other celebrities tipped to take part in the Channel 4 show include Verne Troyer, Patrick Moore, Coolio and Mutya Buena.
