He might be touted as the strongest contender for the Bigg Boss 9 title, but season 6 finalist Imam Siddiqui, who is returning to the show as a guest, calls the reality TV star a fake.
49-year-old Siddiqui is known for his eccentricity. He will enter the house this week with a bag full of challenges for the housemates.
“Prince is obnoxious. He is the most fake person inside the house. He is spineless. Throughout the show he kept saying bhai-behen [brother-sister], and in the end, ditched his sister Kishwer Merchant. It was all for game. He needs to know this is not Splitsvilla and Roadies. This is a different platform so he needs to behave according to that,” Siddiqui said.
The fashion stylist, who is one of the most popular contestants of Bigg Boss across seasons, will stay in the house for a week and give the housemates a series of tasks to test their determination.
The contestants who will undertake his tasks are: Rochelle Rao, Keith Sequeira, Mandana Karimi, Priya Malik and Rishabh Sinha.
At the end of his stint in the house, Siddiqui will determine one contestant who compete with Prince in the finale week; the others will have to go through the nomination process.
“I will be pushing their buttons. I have read each contestant well. I know what will annoy them. I will be ultimate provocation on the show. I will be doing tasks, which will highlight Indian cultural diversity. The contestants have to pass this endurance test,” he said.
Siddiqui said the has already written songs and made up names for the contestants, aimed at riling them. The famous television personality, who was a wild-card entry in his winning season, is impressed with this seasons’ wild-card entrants, Sinha and Malik.
“I hope a wild card is the winner because I feel this time these wild card entries have held the show. They really opened the game and improved the show. Before they came, everyone was in his or her comfort zone.”
But Siddiqui is quick to add that Malik’s game is not that strong right now. He said she has run out of tricks on Bigg Boss 9, taken from her stint in the international version of the show, Bigg Brother Australia, but still hasn’t been successful.
“I have watched her season of Bigg Brother Australia. From racism to sexism, Priya has used everything here that helped her there. In that show, these tricks worked for her and here she has not been successful. Now, she has nothing.”
