Deepika to launch Bigg Boss 10 with Salman on October 16

Deepika Padukone will be joining superstar Salman Khan to launch the 10th season of controversial reality TV show Bigg Boss on October 16.

There were rumours that Deepika, who will be making her Hollywood debut with xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, will be the first celebrity guest of the show when she was recently spotted shooting with Salman.

But the news was confirmed by Raj Nayak, CEO of Colors channel, on which the superhit show is aired.

The reality show, an Indian version of international series Celebrity Big Brother, features celebrities locked inside a house for three months under constant camera surveillance, without any gadgets or luxury.

This time the spotlight is on the common man. For the first time, the controversial reality show will open its doors to the common people to appear as contestants along with the stars.

After months of auditions and scrutiny, 13 names have been shortlisted, of which eight will be entering the house. The format details for the new season are yet to be revealed, reports The Hindustan Times.
