As promised, I am back with my second Bigg Boss OTT contestant series. This time I will talk about tv actor and social media boy Zeeshan Khan. Zeeshan is quite opinionated, and this quality will hold him in good stead in the house as, being a newcomer, he will have to scream from the pulpits to get noticed in the crowd.
Compared to the other newbies( Karan Nath and Milind Gabba), he is already in public awareness, courtesy of his sparings with airline officials for his bathroom robe attire.
Men need to think out of the box to get social media attention compared to the fair sex, who sometimes just put on a sexy bikini or lingerie to get zillion likes and followers. For Zeeshan, his Kumkum Bhagya assignment will not matter much as he was not the lead there and the Bigg Boss franchise attracts a vast swathe of viewers who otherwise dont watch fiction, so he will have to start from scratch.
In this show, being a bad boy helps, remember Sidharth Shukla trying to browbeat his fellow Bigg Boss 14 inmates. Will Zeeshan also try to dominate the convo.
And yes, romance sells, so will he also try to impress one of the gal inmatees. He has several hotties to chose from( Urfi Javed and Neha Bhasin etc.)
Zeeshan must be aware that he does not have much time to make an impact as although you have six weeks(OTT avtar, let’s face it, the early bird always catches the worm.
His task is double challenging. First, he will have to prove his worth among the newbie crowd to be followed by an attempt to make a dent in the main house, where more known celebrities will be around. Yet, newcomer Asim Riaz did give Shukla a real run for his money.
With Bigg Boss now on OTT, will the strict TV norms be given a go and maybe the contestants can try out racy attire ( Zeeshan can put on tiny trunks?) . Will adult talk be allowed as well?
Zeeshan’ social media managers will start working overtime to keep him in the media glare, amplifying his every action on FB, Twitter and Instagram.
Also, there might be story leaks regarding his past (the media will hope that it will be enough to keep them busy). There is nothing as a buzz overkill, but yes, the content needs to be interesting.
 I am waiting for Zeeshan’s introduction bit. Will he pull one more stunt. like the airport attire?   Last but not the least what he says to Bigg Boss OTT host Karan Johar will set the tone for his days to come. PostScript, Zeeshan did an excellent job on the opening night. [Written By- Anil Merani]
