Mumbai: Bigg Boss 13 is here with 13 contestants in total. The just-launched season promises to be tedha and has loads of twists and turns, right from the very beginning. Out of the 13 contestants, 8 are women, while 5 are men. In the beginning, men had to compete with each other to win household duties from women.

The upcoming season is high on woman power and even features Ameesha Patel as maalkin who will give tasks to contestants. Things can change at any time in these 15 weeks of game and the pressure to survive in the game will be there from the very first day as the first finale of the show will take place after a month.

Check out the 13 contestants who have entered the Bigg Boss 13 house.

1. Sidharth Shukla: The Balika Vadhu star has a flair for controversy and was even arrested in a drunk driving case. His calm on-screen image is in contrast with his real-life persona that’s quite outgoing. His name has been linked to multiple co-stars and in Bigg Boss 13, he is all set to create ripples. The actor is going to face a tough time in Bigg Boss 13 thanks to his lack of kitchen skills. His rumoured ex Rashami Desai is also locked in the house along with him and that is bound to create problems.

2. Siddharth Dey: A popular writer of TV shows, Siddharth has an interesting personality and a good sense of humour. He was quite comfortable in front of the camera on the grand premiere day and we could see that he was feeling quite confident about the show. Interestingly, Siddharth has written the first two seasons of Bigg Boss and now he’s ready to script his success story on the same show.

3. Paras Chhabra: The actor who made his Bollywood debut with Calendar Girls and was also part of Splitsvilla is known for his link-up rumours. Not so long back, he was linked to Pavitra Punia. He has recently confirmed relationship with Akanksha Puri. The ladies man is a good choice for a show like this.

4. Abu Malik: Popular music director Anu Malik’s brother Abu Malik claims has produced 10,000 shows around the globe featuring top Bollywood stars. He is also the author of book called Rantings of a Mad Man. He has a nice screen presence and would make for an entertaining contestant.

Host Salman Khan asked Devoleena what made her transform from a bahu to a babe and the gorgeous actress replied that she wanted the world to see her real side.

Devoleena was recently trolled for posting hot pictures on her Instagram account as her sanskari fans couldn’t tolerate her sexy avatar. She was also questioned in a diamond merchant murder case.

7. Koena Mitra: Nearly every year, a former or faded Bollywood hottie enters the Bigg Boss house.

This year, Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena actress Koena Mitra is entering the BB 13 house. Koena Mitra was recently sentenced to six-months imprisonment in a cheque bounce case.
