Kim Kardashian in ‘Bigg Boss 6′
The popular reality show ‘Bigg Boss 6’ is coming up and there is news that model and actress Kim Kardashian would be taking part in the show. The only hurdle – and it’s a biggie — in casting Kim is the price that she has quoted which is near about Rs 4.5 crore. Bigg Boss always makes sure they have at least one international star spice up the show. They had Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone and Mike Tyson last season, while the fourth season saw Pamela Anderson. Kim Kardashian recently said in a show that she finds Indian food ‘disgusting’, a remark that has earned the wrath of many an Indian. Ought to be fun watching her in the ‘Bigg Boss’ house.
