The Bigg Boss 8 finale is closer than you think – and, as you know, Dimpy Ganguly and Sambhavna Seth have been in the limelight forgiving‘ and ‘taking‘ things. Due to this wonderful turn of events I decided to enlighten us all with things Dimpy Ganguly did before becoming a ‘wild card‘ contestant on Bigg Boss 8 and I know you can’t wait to hear more – check it out:

1) Her real name is Soumasri and her Facebook page has a rather interesting story behind changing her name to Dimpy

I have a long chin; should change name to ‘chinni‘.

2) Was declared the second runner-up in the ‘Sananda Tilottma’, a beauty competition held in Eastern Kolkata

Famous celebrities who have launched themselves through Sananda Tilottma include Bipasha Basu, Tanushree Dutta, Koena Mitra and Celina Jaitely. Good company, Dimpy!

3) Did a small role and an item song in a Bengali movie titled Hello Memsahab!

Catch her if you can!

4) Participated in Gladrags MegaModel Manhunt 2009

They were not exceptional dancers (okay Rahul wasn’t, Dimpy was good) but they had quite a lot of admirers!

7) Accused Rahul Mahajan of domestic violence

She alleged that Rahul would physically assault her on a regular basis, that led to them separating for a while before getting back again. They have now separated again and are awaiting their divorce.

What do you think? Does she have a chance of winning this season of Bigg Boss 8?
