Having watched previous episodes, 17-year-old Digangana says she has a rough idea about what to expect and hopes she makes ‘her people’ proud.
2. Prince Narula
Already having tasted reality TV success winning MTV roadies, this dashing prince young lad has come back for more.
Sadly, this young prince has had very little luck with the ladies so far, as none of the girls wanted to pair with him.
Only time will tell whether he takes the crown or is knocked off his throne!
3. Roopal Tyagi
Brave TV actress Roopal will come face to face with her ex, Ankit Gera, 24 hours a day in the house.
Their break up has been been described as ‘nasty’ by the media.

Rima is probably one of the more famous faces in the lineup,
The sultry actress has tried to live her Bollywood dream by starring in films alongside Abhishek Bachchan, Akshaye Khanna, as well as opposite Salman Khan himself.

Salman says he is hoping being locked up with so many people will challenge her.
7. Yuvika Chaudhary
This beauty flashed her bare skin in slinky sarees in Shahrukh Khan’s Om Shanti Om.
