while.
Bigg Boss Contestant - Aseem Trivedi
Firebrand cartoonist Aseem Trivedi
, best known for his anti-corruption campaign 'Cartoons Against
Corruption', will be a contestant on Bigg Boss Season 6 , which starts
on October 7.
Aseem, who was in news after his arrest on September 9 for posting controversial cartoons on his website, is participating in Bigg Boss 6 to be "seen and heard". Cricketer-turned-commentator Navjot Singh Sidhu is another high-profile contestant this season, while Hindi poet Kumar Vishwas, who has been actively involved with Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement along with Aseem , is also likely to enter the Bigg Boss 6 house.
"Aseem was approached and he has agreed to be on the show," the cartoonists' father Ashok Trivedi, who runs a tent business in Unnav near Kanpur, confirmed to Mail Today.
According to sources, Aseem signed the contract with Colors , the channel airing the show, and the show's producer Endemol on Wednesday night.
The cartoonist was reportedly approached by the channel immediately after he came out of jail but he agreed to appear on the show only this week.
"My son is not glamour struck, nor does he have any inclination to be a part of the showbiz. He wanted to be on the show so that he can be seen and heard," Ashok said.
"He will surely talk about his campaign but only if he is asked about it by other contestants.It is not that he wants to use the show as a platform to highlight his campaign, though I know he would not be able to stop himself if provoked."
"Aseem had time at hand and he thought the show was the best way to reach out to people.He is not doing this for money. He would rather enjoy being inside the house, which is a new experience altogether," his father said.
Aseem has been associated with Hazare's India Against Corruption movement for a while now and had participated in the hunger protest called by Hazare at the MMRDA ground in Mumbai last year.
Earlier, the show's host Salman Khan had said he wants Bigg Boss 6 to be suitable for the family audience. The format of the show has accordingly been changed with the participation of a common man. Vishwas plays the common man, whose aim will be to highlight social issues on the show.
Sidhu, it is learnt, will act as a link between two sections of contestants - the wannabe actors and model on the one hand and the activists on the other.
