Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson entered the Bigg Boss house on Tuesday night looking aged and haggard. A slinky, strappy blouse and a very Bollywoodish white chiffon sari were very much in place, but the 43- year- old couldn’t quite turn on the heat as she did a decade ago with her trademark red swimsuit on Baywatch. Pamela appears on Bigg Boss season 4 for just three episodes. 

She is a sort of ‘ item number’ on the show, which seems desperate right now to beat the TRPs of rival reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati 4. After all, the Amitabh Bachchcan- helmed KBC , aired in the same primetime slot on a rival channel, has been enjoying TRPs close to 4.7 while Bigg Boss 4 ratings have failed to cross 3.7 so far.

Pamela was reportedly paid close to Rs. 9 crore for the three days she will be seen in the Bigg Boss house. However, for all the hype generated on her arrival, her participation seems like a clear case Hollywood dumping a ‘ has- been’ celeb on Indian audiences.

On Tuesday’s episode, Pamela didn’t look like she is interested in creating any fireworks that can top what Dolly Bindra has already created on the show. She went about grinning self- consciously and striking namaste poses as she was introduced to the housemates. And she tried picking up some basic tips on spoken Hindi.

However, fans of the show expecting a bikini sizzle from Pamela will be disappointed. Among preconditions she has reportedly laid down is one stating that she won’t wear a bikini on Bigg Boss 4. Instead, she wants to present an ethnic image. So, she entered the house wearing a chiffon sari with baadla work, designed by Ashley Rebello.

On Tuesday’s episode, Pamela could not do much to hide her wrinkles, which showed more prominently once she removed her make-up after settling down in the house.
