Looking at the way Dolly Bindra has been inciting Ashmit Patel, the Bollywood actor’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar says, “Dolly Bindra never changed. She just fooled the nation that she had mellowed down. It was a farce we all fell for. But now we all know how she fakes for TRPs.”

It can be recalled how Dolly’s entry into Bigg Boss spoilt the peace and calm of the House. While most found her behaviour despicable, a few even enjoyed her antics.

First, she unabashedly attacked Shweta Tiwari with vengeance (Shweta’s ex-husband Raja Chaudhary is said to have slapped Dolly at a party a few months ago). Shweta, who couldn’t bear it after a few days, even patched up with Dolly.

But after the unruly lady allegedly hit Sameer Soni with an iron rod (apparently we weren’t shown this footage on television), she was removed from the House.

On her return (wonder who in their right sense of mind, voted for her) as a wild card entry, her attitude ‘seemed’ to have changed. But Dolly has once again showed her true colours, going back to her old ways, this time, attacking Ashmit Patel.

Unluckily for her, Ashmit has turned out to be mentally stronger. The gutsy actor has been giving it back to Dolly (sometimes teasing her in her own peculiar style, tone and language).

This seems to have puzzled and shaken Dolly. But Ashmit needs to beware. Wonder what she would do next!

After Sara Khan, Ashmit Patel has had to bid farewell to another ‘good friend’ Veena Malik, who was evicted from Bigg Boss this Friday.

The Pakistani starlet was the last of the housemates to maintain a pro-Ashmit stand. She used to pamper him like a baby; feeding him his morning dose of papaya, making and serving chai, cooking his favourite dishes, massaging him and even providing the daily dose of kisses and bear hugs.

In fact, Veena was the only person Ashmit could count on, while other housemates disliked his frank and straight-forward ways.

Moreover, it was the couple’s obvious fondness for each other that added spice, not only to their lives, but also to the viewer’s interest.

For latecomers, Veena’s affection for Ashmit surfaced during their task this Diwali, where night cameras caught her fondling and caressing him, as he fell asleep. Despite their arguments, the couple had immense understanding for each other and Veena had become Ashmit’s emotional support in a House full of back-biters.

Now that Veena is out, everyone expects Ashmit to be cornered by the unruly Dolly Bindra, who seems to be calculatingly waiting for another chance to pounce on him.

But the Bollywood actor’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar is still confident of his client. “A little aloofness will give Ashmit a breather and time to introspect in a House full of stress. Knowing him, I can vouch for his guts to slug it out and try to be a survivor even in this hostile environment,” remarked the PR specialist.

As the drama escalates, only time will tell, how Ashmit Patel will cope with life without Veena Malik in the Bigg Boss House.

Bhojpuri superstar Manoj Tiwari is now ruing over a tweet of actor Arbaaz Khan which said, “I would try save Ashmit by sending a SMS,” insinuating that the Khan brothers Salman (the host of the reality show) and Arbaaz, have ‘scripted’ his eviction from Bigg Boss. Manoj is also learnt to have told a television channel that his eviction could be a ‘conspiracy’ against Bhojpuri actors.

“Mr Tiwari is singling out Arbaaz just because he is unable to digest his defeat opposite Ashmit Patel and probably feels the need to blame someone for it. If Arbaaz tweeted, what’s wrong about it? Doesn’t Arbaaz have his own identity, independent of Salman Khan? Just because he is Salman’s brother, can Manoj Tiwari hold him guilty for tweeting? By doing so, he’s being a petty superstar,” reacted Ashmit’s publicist Dale Bhagwagar.

In his moment of embarrassment, Manoj seems to have conveniently missed out the fact that Karan Johar, Amisha Patel, Manyata and Sanjay Dutt, Farah Khan, Ali Merchant, Hrishant Goswami, Ishq Bector and a host of Bollywood people, along with Ashmit’s growing fan-following, put in their bit to help him win the round opposite the Bhojpuri superstar. We are aware how most of them SMS’d, emailed, posted messages on their Blackberry Messengers, Twitter and Facebook and even spread the word-of-mouth.

Moreover, the biggest chunk of votes must have come from Gujarat, where a mass SMS campaign called ‘Save Aapno Gujjubhai’ (Save Our Gujjubhai) was conducted in the state by Ashmit’s managing team.

Inspite of this, fans of Manoj Tiwari have burnt effigies of Salman Khan in Patna. Manoj Tiwari Fan Club president Manish Kumar, along with some 20-25 supporters, protested against eviction of their superstar and claimed that Bigg Boss had ‘insulted’ the 26-crore Bhojpuri community.
