The controversial reality show Bigg Boss has had a successful run in the small screen since 2006 and the reason behind its popularity are the contestants, who come from various fields of showbiz.

Over the years, the show hosted by Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, has witnessed contestants from films, sports, reality TV, television shows and, at times, commoners. But what makes a particular contestant the darling of the viewers? It is usually how the contestants play mind games on screen, wooing the audience by playing up the image that fans have of them up in front of the camera.
