Deepak Tijori has replaced Salil Ankola in Sony Entertainment Television's reality show, Bigg Boss.The actor-director made an entry at the Bigg Boss home (in Karjat, on the outskirts of Mumbai) at 4:30 am this morning and will be seen in tonight's episode.
When Tijori entered the house, no one noticed since they were sleeping. Tijori was discovered sleeping on the couch by his long-time buddy Rahul Roy -- who also happened to be his co-star in Aashiqui. Soon, the other participants awoke and welcomed the new entrant.
After Salil Ankola got entangled in a legal problem for not abiding by his contract with Balaji (which prohibited him from participating in any show outside the production house), he was asked to leave Sony's reality show, Bigg Boss.
Salil had entered into a contract with Balaji when he worked in their show, Karam Apna Apna.
Catch Bigg Boss at 10 pm between Mondays and Thurdays, and at 9 pm on Fridays on Sony Entertainment Channel.
