Salman Khan’s ‘Bigg Boss 14’ has managed to keep the viewers hooked on to their television sets with its drama-packed episodes. Although, the show is yet to pick up pace in terms of numbers, the entry of wild card contestants has added the much-needed tadka.
Popular TV couple Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla impressed the fans during the grand premiere episode of ‘Bigg Boss 2020’ on October 3. While Abhinav has won hearts with his calm and composed nature, Rubina has received praises for her positive attitude.
In case you are thinking that RubiNav are the first real-life Jodi to participate in ‘Bigg Boss’, then you are mistaken. Several couples have featured on the popular reality show. Tighten up your seat belts as we are about to go down the memory lane.
Bakhtiyaar Irani and Tannaz Irani
Bakhtiyaar and Tannaz participated in ‘Bigg Boss’ season 3, which was hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. While Tannaz got eliminated in week 6, Bakhtiyaar was among the final four contestants of ‘Bigg Boss 3’. He decided to walk away with Rs 10 lakh just five days before the grand finale episode.
Kishwer Merchant and Suyyash Rai
Kishwer and Suyyash were part of ‘Bigg Boss 9’, which had the tagline ‘Double Trouble’. Kishwer was considered as one of the most popular contestants of her season. She sacrificed her spot for her ‘brother’ Prince Narula during the ‘Ticket To Finale Task’. Although, she couldn’t lift the winner’s trophy, she took home a cash prize of Rs 15 lakh.
The ‘Kasautii Zindagii Kay’ actress was pitted against Prince in the task; however she decided to walk away with the money. Prince became the first contestant to reach the finale of ‘Bigg Boss 9’. Interestingly, he also emerged as the winner of the show. Talking about Suyyash, the actor was eliminated a week before Kishwer’s exit. The two lovebirds got married a year after participating in ‘BB 9’ on December 16, 2016.
Keith Sequeira and Rochelle Rao
Adding a twist in tale, the makers of the show roped in another real-life couple for ‘Bigg Boss 9’. We are talking about Keith and Rochelle. Rochelle finished as the third-runner up of the ninth season of ‘Bigg Boss’ while Keith made it to top five. Sequeira had to leave the show midway due to some family emergency. He made a return to the show after two weeks and was evicted a few days before the grand finale.
The popular couple got hitched in March 2018 in an intimate ceremony, which was attended by only family members and close friends. Pictures from their beach wedding went viral on social media.
Special Mention
Rajeev Paul and Delnaaz Irani, who separated after 14 years of marriage, were part of ‘Bigg Boss 6’. Rajeev tried his best to woo back Delnaaz but to no avail. The ‘Choti Sarrdaarni’ actress had told co-contestants Sana Khaan and Aashka Goradia that it was not easy for her to move on after so many years of marriage. The former couple, who got divorced in 2012, stayed together under roof for over 90 days inside the ‘Bigg Boss 6’ house.
