Sherlyn Chopra to be in 'Bigg Boss'

By Subhash K. Jha

Mumbai, Oct 2 (IANS) After Raakhi Sawant and Payal Rohatgi it is item girl Sherlyn Chopra who will provide the oomph in the third season of reality show "Bigg Boss", going on air Sunday.

"One reason why we were interested in getting Baba Ramdeo on board is because we got Sherlyn. So we wanted to create a Vishwamitra-Menaka kind of situation between the saint and the seductress in the 'Bigg Boss' house. Unfortunately Baba opted out," said a source in the channel.

Last time when Jade Goody went back home after she was diagnosed with cancer, speculations were rife that Sherlyn will take her place. But it didn't happen.

Apart from her, Vindu Dara Singh is also expected to feature in the show, which will be hosted by Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
