There’s no denying that Bigg Boss Season 13 is the most entertaining show on Indian television at the moment. ‘Coz controversies never seem to leave this house and the show offers a hell lot of entertainment, entertainment, you guessed it…entertainment. It’s the season for wild card entries in the house and a few new faces have entered the house. Yes, we are talking about Hindustani Bhau, Keshari Lal Yadav, the Kaanta Laga girl – Shefali Zariwala and Tehseen Poonawalla.
In recent episodes, we saw that the wild card entrants are staying in a secret room and are observing the other housemates. And Tehseen has already made some strong observations about the other contestants in the house. According to him Rashami and Devoleena have understood the game quite well and are playing it right. He feels that Arti Singh isn’t playing the game well and is getting into arguments and fights unnecessarily. Whereas, Rashami and her gang (read Devoleena, Paras, Mahira) are thinking about the future game and the change in dynamics. As Paras may become a strong contender in the coming days, Rashami and Devo want to stick with Paras to sail through till the finale.
Well, we guess Tehseen’s observations are quite interesting, aren’t they? And he is doing his best to understand the game better. After all, Tehseen is rumoured to be the highest-paid contestant this season! If media reports are to be believed, Tehseen is getting a whopping 21 lakhs per week, beating TV actress Rashami Desai. But, who is Tehseen Poonawalla and why is he being paid so much?
Here’s What You Need To Know About Tehseen Poonawalla
Ever since he made it to the Bigg Boss house, there’s been only one question on my mind: who is this guy? So, we did some digging and we found out a few controversial things about Tehseen Poonawalla. Keep reading!
Did you know he is the distant brother-in-law of former Congress President Rahul Gandhi
How you ask? Tehseen is married to Monicka Vadera, Robert Vadera’s cousin, who is married to Rahul Gandhi’s sister, Priyanka Gandhi. Tehseen calls himself an entrepreneur, activist, political analyst, and columnist. He is also a loyal follower of the Indian National Congress.
He is already known for his ugly spat with his brother
Tehseen and his younger brother, Shehzad Poonawalla (former Congress secretary of Maharashtra) started their entrepreneurial venture in 2000. While working on it, Shehzad made some connections with senior Congress leaders, and that’s how started his political journey. Tehseen had an ugly fallout with his brother Shehzad during the Congress Presidential election in December 2017 when he called elections a ‘sham’. After the fallout, the brothers ended their relationship. At the time, Tehseen had taken to Twitter to express his disappointment. He wrote, “It is totally unacceptable to me and my family that Shehzad has dragged Mrs Gandhi into this, he should have presented whatever issues he had in the party forum.” In another tweet, he wrote, “I officially end all relationship with @Shehzad_Ind . I have never been this hurt. We needed to defeat the BJP. This is unacceptable. Im very very hurt today . Been stabbed in the back ..And how.”
His fans call him a ‘youth icon’
Tehseen has a following of 27.6k on Instagram and 138k followers on Twitter. His fans call him a ‘youth icon’ and ‘shining star’. A peek into his social media handles tells us that Tehseen and his wife Monicka are quite the fashionistas and fitness enthusiasts. Take a look at these pictures:
Tehseen entered the Bigg Boss house on Saturday. This is his first reality show and naturally all of us including the host, Salman Khan had only question that why is he entering the house. While we couldn’t, the bhai of Bollywood spoke his mind and asked Tehseen why he was really here. Here’s Tehseen answer: “Uss ghar ko ek netritva ki zaroorat hai. Aur main thoda sa leadership ke dwara uss ghar ko thoda sa sudhar dunga,” he said.
Well, good luck with that Tehseen!
