Fiza adds spice to Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao

Fiza Chand Mohammad, earlier Anuradha Bali, has replaced Negar Khan as a last-minute change and what a replacement!!! She has already started turning heads a la Rakhee Sawant in Big Boss 1 and Sambhavana Seth in Big Boss 2 with her fighting skills that people in the world have already seen through her interviews to media after the sensational Mills and Boon style eloping with the son of Haryana's Deputy CM and then changing religion and then getting married and then getting divorced via SMS. I mean who else can add so much spice to a reality show that is meant to generate controversies by showing skin and gossips and a little bit of jungle adventure. Sony Entertainment Television has its stakes high on the show and the way show has begun, I think Fiza will turn out to be the most watchable celeb on the show...take my words. Here is what she said upon joining the show, "I was the last-minute entry to the show. Initially, I was a bit hesitant as all the rest are from the showbiz world. Hopefully, I will last for a week or so! In the past few months, I have been under the media scanner due to my ex-hubby Chand Mohammed. I wonder what will be said now!"

And now hear Fiza and Palak talking about Chand.



And if didn't already have enough of the masala, Fiza started fighting with Akashdeep Saigal and now you can very well imagine why Chand Mohammad eloped with her, changed his religion, married her, and then soon divorced her afraid of her fighting ways, which comes naturally to her being a lawyer by profession. Indian TV viewers are about to see some scintillating stuffs on the idiot box that might generate some political controversies as well.

Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao - Big Boss in Jungle

Yesterday, a new reality show (or should we say a new soap) started on Sony TV. You know, after seeing all those exciting promos before the launch I was really excited to see the show and was hoping to find some cool jungle adventure a la Discovery or Nat Geo style, but what a crap...It is just like they have set up a set in some garden (they claim it to be in Malaysia) and have put in some so-called celebrities (I wonder if anybody knows Ishq Bector or Palak or Mona Vasu) in their to survive on their own. The show is an Indianized version of popular British Reality show "I'm a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here!" But, to me it is just like wrapping the Big Boss content in a new foil and present to the audience as something new. The participants have been trained to create controversies like Anaida and Shweta Tiwari made in their own ways shouting for salts and gown. They have to perform certain tasks in order to earn food to survive, so Chetan Hansraj picks up stars out of snakes, fish intestines, and all those insects that just gives you a throw-up feeling as it comes exactly at your dinnertime and I am sure if you keep watching the show and continue to eat, you will end up throwing up all the cool stuffs you have eaten. The show has started with its share of skin show where Mona Vasu and Shweta Tiwari are being shown to take shower in open in the bare minimum. I think, our culture police is watching that also and soon we might see some political issues coming up and so the show is all set to garner enough publicity and thus will surely soar the TRP soon, but in my opinion we are going to witness the worst reality show on TV as the coming days will prove my apprehension and soon the show will be named "In Junglio se Mujhe Bachao."
