New Delhi: Social activist Swami Agnivesh will be the latest entrant in the Bigg Boss 5 house, currently home to an eclectic mix of aggressive and abusive celebrities.
According to Agnivesh’s close aide Manu Singh, the activist is likely to enter the Bigg Boss house on Tuesday.
“Swami will spread his message through the programme. Whenever he finds a challenge, he accepts it and that is the reason why accepted this,” Singh told a news agency.
Agnivesh was in the eye of a storm soon after Hazare’s hunger strike when a video surfaced in which he was seen talking to an unidentified person asking him to deal strongly with the Gandhian.
This led to his estrangement from Team Anna.
The swami will make an unlikely contestant on the show, which is popular for the cat-fights among the members of the house.
The saffron-clad Arya Samaj leader will be the fifth male contestant in join the notorious gang of girls in the reality show.
The current participants in the show are model Shraddha Sharma, former Miss Afghanistan Vida Samadzai, VJ Pooja Missra, Pooja Bedi, Juhi Parmar, Shonali Nagrani, Mahek Chahal, transgender activist Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, Amar Upadhyay, Akashdeep Saigal and Siddharth Bharadwaj. (Agencies)
