Fighters to mentors and more: The personality moulds of Bigg Boss
When you saw Kushal Tandon on Bigg Boss 7, were you reminded of Kamaal R Khan from season three? Did Sapna Bhavnani ever remind you of Dolly Bindra? Was VJ Andy (season 7) a shadow of Bobby from the first season? As the makers of Bigg Boss, arguably the most controversial reality show on Indian television, gear up for the tenth season of their hit show, we scrutinise the various personality moulds the show seems to have.

Imam Siddique, Kushal Tandon and Kamaal R Khan - former contestants of Bigg Boss in different seasons have something in common. Guess what?
There seems to be a pattern of behaviour for contestants for the reality show whose tenth season on premieres on October 16. Every year, new faces come and fill these ‘vacancies’ on the show and create seemingly new controversies for TRPs.
As the makers of Bigg Boss, arguably the most controversial reality show on Indian television, gear up for the tenth season of their hit show, we scrutinise the various personality moulds the show seems to have.
1. The mentors
Armaan Kohli and Navjot Siddhu
2. Strong-headed women
Be it Urvashi Dholakia or Kamya Punjabi, these women played it like a game, with perfection!
3. The trouble-makers
Kushal Tandon, Kamaal Rashid Khan, Imam Siddique (Bigg Boss 6) and Dolly Bindra could have single handedly taken care of the TRPs for their respective seasons. Why, do you ask? Well, the show runs on fights and controversies and these people picked up fights even when there was no scope for any!
4. Angry young man/woman
VJ Andy, Dolly Bindra, KRK and Sapna Bhavnani could lose anger at the slightest of provocation; and, at times even without any.
5. Mature women using their age to their advantage
Both Anita Advani and Poonam Dhillon used their age to their advantage and shied away from doing most of the household chores.
6. The beautiful, young actor waiting for her big break
Eli Evram and Sana Khan fit perfectly in this one.
And now, for some moulds for the chemistry between contestants on the show:
7. Bro-bond
Andy-Gauhar and Sapna-Aseem displayed such sibling love even real siblings would have felt jealous.
The love birds
Gauhar Khan-Kushal, Ashmit Patel-Veena Malik, Rahul Mahajan-Payal Rohtagi and Rakhi Sawant-Amit Sadh - there have been many cozy scenes, naughty fights and steamy sequences through the years of which we have lost count.
