The 12th season of Big Boss is just round the corner and the fans are in anticipation of discovering the participant of the reality show. The makers of the show on Saturday released a video featuring the first two participants of the show.
One was TV actress Neha Pendse and other was one of the finest Indian bowler and a controversial figure Shanthakumaran Sreesanth. The 35-year-old from Kerala was part of India’s world cup winning squad in 2011 but IPL spot fixing scandal in 2013 ended his cricketing career. He has tried to revived his career but a life time ban meant that he will be kept away from the cricket field. He has tried his hands at reality shows like Khatron Ke Khiladi 9 and Nach Baliye and now will jump into Big Boss house to revamp his image amongst his fans which has been washed-away since 2013.
“For me, life was always a cricket field, but now I want to be the king of the Bigg Boss house,” Sreesanth said in the video teaser.
