Not just that, the makers have apparently introduced a new theme wherein contestants will be divided into two different houses. Exciting isn't it?

Coming to the contestants, much like the 10th edition, the new season will see a mix of commoners and celebrities.

According to a Bombay Times report, Shilpa Shinde, who was in the news last year for the Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain fiasco and later for filing a sexual harassment case against show's producer Benaifer Kohli's husband Sanjay Kohli, is the latest name to be added to the list of probable contestants. It now remains to be seen if Shilpa gives her nod to be part of the controversial reality show.
