Celebs in 'Big Boss 3'

As the 'Bigg Boss 3' kick-starts with Amitabh Bachchan as its host, this season will certainly be high on glamour with inmates like Shamita Shetty, Sherlyn Chopra and Claudia Ciesla. The contestants are screened very closely so that they are picked up from all walks of life. Here's a look... Guess who is going to pravesh into the 'Bigg Boss' house today. He is Mr. India title holder Pravesh Rana who has bagged a wild card entry. Rana had to audition and was chosen from about 65,000 names.

Cricketer Vinod Kambli entered the 'Bigg Boss' house with the handsome hunk Mr. India Parvesh Rana. Along with this, Ismile Darbar bid adieu to the audience. His entry in the house would be quite interesting to watch as he comes with a sports background and no one else in the house has been associated with sports, so Vinod Kambli would bring a new element with him.

Shilpa Shetty found international fame with the UK based show 'Big Brother' and now younger sister Shamita Shetty is stepping into the world of reality TV with 'Bigg Boss 3'.

Claudia Ciesla made news being the reason behind Salman and Katrina's breakup.Now let us see if she is prepared to be cut-off from the rest of the world!

Motor mouth Sherlyn Chopra is expected to heat up 'Bigg Boss' Season 3 with her antics and oomph factor.

Can you guess who is having a wild card entry at this season of 'Bigg Boss'? He is our Babu Moshay, Rajesh Khanna. Due to some dillydallying at that time initally he was not finalized as a participant. But now you can watch what 'Kaka' will do in the house.

Film actress Poonam Dhillon is the veteran on 'Big Boss 3'. Ex Miss India, Poonam said that the only reason she agreed to be on the show was Amitabh Bachchan!

Tanaaz and Bakhtiyar Irani are the first real-life couple to participate in 'Bigg Boss'. Leaving their one and half year old son behind wasn't easy for the couple.

Laughter king Raju Srivastava is expected to set 'Big Boss 3' afire with his wit and humour. Other inmates of the house can have free entertainment throughout.

Well-known music director Ismail Darbar was the first inmate to enter the house of Bigg Boss. It would be interesting to watch the music director of hits like 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' and 'Devdas' interact with the rest.

Dara Singh's son Vindoo was the most excited of all the participants on the first day of the show. Last seen in 'Kambakkht Ishq', he's a real-life controversy king. His marriage was under the scanner when he left his wife for a Russian model named Dina. Vindoo Dara Singh was married to actress Tabu's elder sister Farah, who was also an actress.

Actor-director Kamal R Khan of 'Deshdrohi' fame is also a part of the show. He's already set the tone of the show by getting bitchy about Aditi's Western dress.

Designer Rohit Verma is also a part of the show. Another surprise element on the show was Rakhi Sawant's mother Jaya Sawant, who is also a part of the show.

And then there is Big B for the Big Boss Season 3. But not as a contestant. He will be the host of the show and will also play philosopher to the contestants.
