Bigg Boss 8 is now Big Brother: Gautam, Sonali get cozy

Indian reality show Bigg Boss is a dampener this season (8) - it's not living up to the reputation it has earned of voyeurism, violence and scandal.

The weekly television ratings are nothing to write home about.

Hence, don't be surprised if something dramatic takes place in the house in the coming weeks.

The foundation has been laid in last night's episode (Oct 20) as Sonali Raut shows her affinity towards Gautam Gulati.

No sooner did the nomination process get over, Sonali and Gautam was on focus.

If one remembers Sonali Raut was the first contestant to be eliminated from the show.

But she was brought back. Now, during tasks and weekend episodes we see Sonali getting away lightly or favoured by the host Salman Khan.

She has been in the limelight these days for her fight with fellow inmate Diandra Soares, her closeness with Upen Patel and Gautam Gulati.

It seems that Sonali’s relationship with Gautam is flourishing now.

The duo has been spotted having quiet and intimate conversations in the house.

Sushant confronted Sonali as to why she is not going ahead with Gautam when he really likes her.

Sonali, however, feels Gautam is a little shy and he is not willing to talk openly about their chemistry.

She elaborates that she does not understand how to approach him about her feelings.

Sonali, Gautam and Praneet have conversation at night about their relationship.

And the actress plays it safe and coy. But clearingly hinting Gautam that she has developed feelings towards him.

Praneet advices Gautam not to ignore Sonali as she genuinely feels for him.

Gautam, pays heed to Praneet’s comment and says that he will try to do something about it.

Sonali leaves the boys and tells Gautam that she is waiting for him.

As the lights turn off, Gautam and Sonali are seen spending quality time together and chatting up while sharing the same bed.

Quite evidently, love has started to blossom between the two Bigg Boss inmates.

It remains to be seen now, how this romance unfolds and how far will Bigg Boss makers and contestants go.
