Ahead of Bigg Boss Season 18, we have compiled our list of top 5:

Rakhi Sawant: Rakhi Sawant has been, by far, the most entertaining contestant on Bigg Boss. This was evident when the makers invited her to participate in multiple seasons. Whether it was her dance classes inside the Bigg Boss House or her iconic avatar, Julie – a ghost inhabiting in Rakhi’s body, the entertainment queen kept the show’s TRPs soaring.

Dolly Bindra: Dolly Bindra graced the fourth season of Bigg Boss and even after 14 years, she remains fresh in the audience’s mind.

Her very famous dialogue ‘Baap Par Jaana Mat’ turned into a viral meme.

Imam Siddiqui: Imam Siddiqui appeared on Season 6 of the reality show and left everyone in splits with his humour. He claimed that Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta owe their stardom to him.
