The 12th season of the much awaited show Bigg Boss, finally premiered on Sunday and we are extremely excited to see how the coming episodes of the show unfold.
Arguably the most controversial reality show, Bigg Boss has returned with a unique theme this time, which is vichitra jodis.
The show is expected to be much more bigger and grand with 21 contestants entering the house, and actor Salman Khan returning as the host.
Even with the theme vichitra jodis, once again the show will see a mix of commoners and celebrities.
One of the Bigg Boss 12 contestants is former Indian cricketer S Sreesanth, who played all forms of the game.
Born on February 6, 1983, Sreesanth was a right-arm fast-medium-pace bowler and a right-handed tail-ender batsman.
In first class cricket, he played for Kerala and in the Indian Premier League, he played for Rajasthan Royals. He is also the first Kerala Ranji player to have played Twenty20 cricket for India.
However, in September 2013, he was banned for life from playing Cricket by the BCCI, for his involvement in spot-fixing in the 2013 IPL season.
Before this, the former cricketer became the talk of the of town for his altercation with Harbhajan Singh and indiscipline both on and off the cricket field.
Following which, Sreesanth tried to make a name for himself in the world of entertainment. The criceter-turned-actor was seen in a few Malayalam films like Big Picture and Team 5.
He was also a part of the Bollywood thriller Aksar 2 where he essayed the role of a lawyer called Gaurav.
It doesn't end here! Sreesanth has also tried his hand in the world of television. In case you were wondering, Bigg Boss 12 is not the man’s first TV show. He was previously seen in dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Jaa.
After losing his place in the Indian cricket team, the actor tried his luck in the world of politics as well.
In 2016, Sreesanth joined hands with the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) and contested from Thiruvananthapuram for the Kerala Assembly elections. However, he was outvoted by Congress’ VS Sivakumar.
Let's see if this time, on Bigg Boss 12, if this star can knock others wickets!
Bigg Boss 12 will air from Mon-Sun at 9 pm on Colors.
