Shweta Tiwari becomes first woman to win Bigg Boss

MUMBAI: Shweta Tiwari emerged the winner of reality show Big Boss Season 4, hosted by actor Salman Khan on the channel Colors. The audience chose the television actor over the three other finalists — actors Ashmit Patel and Dolly Bindra, and professional wrestler The Great Khali. Khali and Patel were the first and second runners up, respectively.

Speculation was rife that Patel would win the title. But television actor Tiwari became the first woman to win the reality show with a prize money of Rs 1 million announced at a grand finale in Lonavala on Saturday night. Tiwari gained popularity for her role as Prerna in Balaji soap Kasautii Zindagii Kay that used to air on Star Plus.

All three runners-up took home a bike each, while actor-model Sameer Soni received a Chevrolet Cruze as a special prize for being the boldest and most stylish participant of this season.

Amisha Patel On Peace Mission

MUMBAI: After her much talked about split with her family five years ago, Amisha Patel is on a peace mission these days.

It seems the new man in her life, Kanav Puri, has cast a calming effect on Amisha and may be that was the reason when the actress decided to meet her parents recently after a gap of five years.

Earlier, the actress patched up with her brother Ashmit Patel too. It must be recalled that Amisha had accused her family of misusing her money and the public fight had caught the attention of the media for quite some time. But, it seems the reality has changed now. Amisha is on a peace mission to restore ties with her family these days.

With her bollywood career going nowhere, the idea of restoring family ties is after all her second best option for the moment.
