Salman Khan-hosted reality show Bigg Boss, VJ-actor Keith Sequeira was hoping to strengthen his bond with his model and anchor-girlfriend, Rochelle Rao. However, if the latest buzz is to be believed, Keith will have a tough time ahead with the show makers planning to introduce his ex-wife, actress Samyukta Singh, on the show.

Samyukta’s claim to fame is playing the lead in Salaami (1994) opposite Ayub Khan. The film’s track Chehra Kya Dekhte Ho was a chartbuster. She came into public attention recently while leading a Bollywood campaign against the killing of stray dogs in Kerala. Natasha Singh, one of her two sisters, is a telly actress, who was part of Dekh Bhai Dekh.

Says a source, “The makers feel Samyukta’s presence will heighten the tension in the Bigg Boss house. However, she is yet to decide if she should take on the offer. In case she does, it will come as a shock to Keith and Rochelle.” Keith had been dating

Samyukta before establishing himself as a VJ. They were married for almost seven years before parting ways.
