You could be a doctor, engineer, lawyer, teacher, preacher, banker, entrepreneur, home-maker, taxi-driver, coolie, from any domain, any socio-economic background, have any calibre, if you think you are an entertainer, then this is the break that you have been looking for," India Today quoted Raj Nayak as saying.

The report also said that interested participants can upload a three-minute video on www.colorstv.com/biggbossentry, showcasing some of their special traits, which will make them eligible to enter "Bigg Boss 10" as contestants.
