BIGG BOSS 5: Swami Agnivesh enters house
|  |
Swami Agnivesh is finally a part of Bigg Boss 5. Read on to know how the other housemates accept his arrival on Day 38
The day starts on a positive note. Pooja Misra is seen painting her T- shirt with her
kajal (eye pencil) and lipstick. She is seen in a very funny looking avatar which amuses all the housemates. Amar Upadhyay and Vida Samadzai see it as her desperate attempt to attract attention. Bigg Boss calls Shraddha Sharma to the confession room and assigns her a secret task. Pooja Misrra who was upset with Shraddha for becoming the captain, goes to her room and clears their differences. Shraddha welcomes the effort and explains she has no hard feelings for anyone.'
The positive vibes finally give way and the housemates get involved in another fight – with Pooja Misrra and Lakshmi Tripathi in the middle of it. Pooja takes on Lakshmi over a minor issue and totally blows it out of proportion. The other housemates find the fight amusing as this kind of behaviour is more or less expected from Pooja Misrra. They bring peace between the two and calm down a furious Lakshmi.
Swami Agnivesh, the latest entrant in controversial television reality show Bigg Boss, says he would use this opportunity to promote and create awareness on social issues including corruption.
"I do feel the show can provide me a platform to talk discuss and create awareness on several social issues like corruption, casteism, gender inequality, women development and others. I feel the urban youth of this country can make a difference..and they must be tapped. Hence I want to spread my message to them.. so I am on this show," Agnivesh told mediapersons.
The saffron-clad activist was in the eye of a storm soon after Anna Hazare's hunger strike, when a video surfaced in which he was seen talking to an unidentified person asking him to deal strongly with the Gandhian. This led to his fall out with Team Anna.
Post lunch, Bigg Boss calls Pooja Bedi to the confession room. To her astonishment, she meets Swami Agnivesh there. Bigg Boss informs her that he is the latest entrant to the Bigg Boss house and it is her responsibility to take care of all his needs. So Pooja introduces him to the rest of the housemates. Some of them recognise him, while others do not. They discuss his random entry and come to the conclusion that Bigg Boss sent him to restore peace, love and happiness in the house as they were running low on them. So before dinner, when Swami Agnivesh requests them to say a prayer thanking God for the meal, they do so without protest.

He is the fifth male contestant to join the gang of girls in Big Boss, which is into its fifth season.
When asked if he has been watching the show, he said, "I have watched three-four episodes after I received the offer from the channel. I feel they (contestants) must rise above all this gossip and fight...and I would try to bring all of them closer and make them aware about their responsibilities towards the nation."
"When I got this offer, I asked for feedback on whether I should participate in the show or not. Lot of them told, it is unfit for me. But I took it up as a challenge as I wanted to engage everyone on socially relevant issues," he said.
On Tuesday, Agnivesh will enter the Lonavala house, where contestants are locked for three months and are under camera surveillance 24X7.

If the boys and girls weren’t enough,
Bigg Boss makers have apparently decided to rope in social activist
Swami Agnivesh to spice up things in the fifth edition of reality TV show.
Agnivesh was in news recently for being a supporter of
Anna Hazare’s movement, but later, he distanced himself from the team. Now we hear he has agreed to enter
Bigg Boss house on
Tuesday!
Guess
Agnivesh is habituated to creating controversies. If the
Jan Lokpal Bill controversy wasn’t enough, looks like the
swami is all set to create yet another stir with his entry in the most controversial show on Indian television.
BIGG BOSS 5: Swami Agnivesh excited to be on the show
By IANS
Swami Agnivesh says he will be in a relaxed mood on the show and people will see a lighter side of him
What would a saffron-clad, social activist, Arya Samaj leader do in the big, bad world of
Bigg Boss? “Relax,” says Swami Agnivesh, who is geared up to reach out to India’s youth with issues like casteism, alcoholism and corruption through his entry into the controversial reality show Tuesday. The 72-year-old is “excited” about entering the secluded Karjat house, where 11 young, celebrity contestants are already fighting it out for survival. The inhabitants have no connect with the outside world and are under 24×7 camera surveillance.
“I have seen three to four episodes of the show, and it is quite exciting. There are a lot of young people in it. My supporters told me if I have a message for the youth, I must go to the show, maintain my integrity and spread the social messages I want to through the show,” Agnivesh said, sounding upbeat.
Agnivesh promises viewers will get to see his “lighter” side. Far from his fight against bonded labour, alcoholism, female foeticide and child labour, Agnivesh will be amid celebrities like model Shraddha Sharma, former Miss Afghanistan Vida Samadzai, VJ Pooja Missra, Pooja Bedi, Juhi Parmar, Shonali Nagrani, Mahek Chahal, transgender activist Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, Amar Upadhyay, Akashdeep Saigal and Siddharth Bharadwaj – who have been calling each other names lately.
A misfit in the show, isn’t he? “I will try to spread some peace. But it won’t be just that. I will try and bring them closer to the social realities of the country and challenge them to think about them. I want to be able to bring about positive thinking and motivate powerful thinking about country’s issues. For me it’s not about the dozen people who are in the
Bigg Boss house. I want to send my message across to the millions of viewers who watch the show everyday,” he said.
Three pertinent issues that Agnivesh wants to talk about during his stay are casteism, alcoholism and corruption.
“Casteism is a deep-rooted problem in India and the youth needs to understand the importance of eradicating it from the society. Also, today’s youth is quite into alcoholism and tobacco chewing, which are not good for the health. And of course, corruption is a big issue,” said the activist, who was in the news recently for his utterances against Team Anna. “I want the young people to dream of a corruption-free India. The Lokpal bill is just one little aspect of it…the problem is much bigger. I hope for peaceful times in this country, which is not free from corruption even after over 60 years of its independence,” he added.
That’s not all! Agnivesh also plans to tell viewers that he isn’t a strict disciplinarian after all. “I will be in a relaxed mood in the show and treat all contestants like my friends. People will see a lighter side of me,” he said, and maintained secrecy about the duration of his stay in the
Bigg Boss 5 house.
According to the grapevine, Agnivesh will enter the show only as a guest, and not as a permanent contestant. When asked, he said: “I can’t say anything right now. Let me start the show at least.”
Just when viewers were convinced that Bigg Boss was all about fights, fights and some more fights, a spiritual twist has been added to the show. Swami Agnivesh, best known for his support for Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement and later the controversy that followed, is all set to enter the Bigg Boss 5 House in an attempt to bring some positivity and calmness into the currently turbulent atmosphere. As a social activist, Agnivesh has fought for the rights of many sects of society. While he has not been an ardent follower of the show, he claims to have heard plenty about the feuds that are prevalent inside the house. 
The day begins with the housemates being a part of Swami’s yoga session. As soon as the Yoga session is over, we see Pooja Misrra discussing her problems with Swami and telling him about things that are a cause of concern. Swami humbles and consoles her and asks her to not think over petty issues too much. Swami continues to talk to her about the social issues that are affecting the society today.
