I had seen Bigg Boss Hindi, and was waiting for the Marathi version for so long," says Firdos E Arjani, who watches Season 2 of the show every evening diligently on Colors Marathi. "As a half-Parsi-half-Maharashtrian, I can connect with the show, because it's easier to understand their innuendos and references, related to Marathi culture. In the Hindi one, most of the innuendos get lost in translation. People like me were aimless when Bigg Boss wasn't on TV, and now that Season 2 is on, we can entertain ourselves." Arjani is echoing the sentiments of many Mumbaikars, who are discussing the show's fights, gossip, evictions, love affairs et al, in trains and offices daily. Much like the Hindi edition, the Marathi avatar has steadily become a much-awaited event, even though it's just one season old.
