Bigg Boss 12, with Salman Khan firmly in the saddle, has returned to your screens once again. India’s highly controversial reality show premiered on Sunday night at 9 with many novel changes. To begin with, Bigg Boss 12 is going one-up on its ‘Double Trouble’ theme from a previous season and giving us ‘vichitra jodis’. Literally meaning ‘strange couples’, the show will have commoners entering the house with partners, both romantic and otherwise. If that is true for commoner contestants, there is a line-up of celeb Bigg Boss contestants too who are entering the house in their individual capacity. The celebs include Dipika Kakar, Srishty Rode, Karanvir Bohra, Neha Pendse, S Sreesanth, Anup Jalota and Jasleen Matharu. Commoner contestants include Romil Chaudhary, Nirmal Singh, Sourabh Patel, Shivashish Mishra, Deepak Thakur, Urvashi Vani, Saba Khan, Somi Khan, Kriti Verma and Surbhi Rana.
