A wacky hairstylist, two social activists, a divorced celebrity couple and 10 others. With such an eclectic line-up of contestants, the sixth season of reality show 'Bigg Boss' seems to be true to its tagline, 'Alag Che' (it's different).
The show's opening episode Sunday night turned out to be a gala affair with lots of glitz and glamour. Host Salman Khan opened the show by entertaining the viewers with dance performances on songs like 'Bodyguard' and 'Mashallah'.u00a0Salman welcomed each contestant into the 'Bigg Boss' house in a different way. He was later joined by actress Rani Mukerji to put up an entertaining act.
Rani, who had come to promote her upcoming film 'Aiyyaa', was seen teaching Salman some Lavni and belly dancing moves, and in no time Salman was seen matching steps with the actress.u00a0Cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu was the first to enter the house, with a rocking introduction by Bhangra-pop singer Daler Mehndi.

Sayantani Ghosh of 'Naaginn' fame too is a part of the show.u00a0Actor Dinesh Yadav added the Bhojpuri flavour to the line-up this year, while celebrity hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani, known for her 'bindass' and tomboyish, tattooed avatar, left everyone in the house quite intrigued.
The big surprise came with the entry of actors Delnaz Paul and Rajev Paul, who are now a divorced couple.u00a0Rajev was not so shocked on seeing Delnaz, but the actress seemed a tad disturbed to realise she would have to live with her ex-husband under one roof and in full camera view.

They will have 70 cameras, 15 more than the 55 cameras last season, prying on their activities 24x7.
