Dipika- Shilpa to Deepak- Akash, Bigg Boss 12 contestants who are evidently similar to Bigg Boss 11 contestants

The contestants of Bigg Boss 12 have finally sprung into action. Unlike Bigg Boss 11 that saw the house going topsy-turvy right from the first day itself, BB 12 has now, after a month picked pace. While BB 11 saw umpteen number of fights and chaos right in the first week, BB 12 housemates' took some time in actually playing the game. Now that the 12th season has picked momentum, we couldn't help but strike resemblance between a few Bigg Boss 12 and a few former Bigg Boss contestants. Here are who we felt were quite similar on the basis of their behaviour, personality, attires, and game plan in the respective BB seasons. (By Rasika Deshpande.)

Bigg Boss 12 has recently witnessed a 360-degree change in Sreesanth. The otherwise over emotional BB mate, who was seen crying and giving up at the drop of a hat was seen being more responsible after being the captain. Not just that, he sorted all his differences between him and Surbhi Rana, his arch-rival in the BB12 house. He mended his ways with Deepak Thakur, Romil Chaudhary and Rohit Suchanti, with whom he had several issues. This certain behavioural pattern was observed in BB 7 winner Gautam Gulati. The actor had also faced several issues with his housemates then. The issues had worsened to a limit where his housemates had literally boycotted him. But no sooner than he became the captain, he sorted out his differences with everyone and went onto become the winner of Bigg Boss 7. Photo- Instagram.

Shilpa Shinde knew that the secret to one's happiness is through his stomach. Dipika too seems to have aced the quality and is majorly seen in the kitchen experimenting with food and making the best out of the limited stock available. Dipika and Shilpa are both touted as matured and sensible contestants of their respective seasons. Well not to forget, the two are extremely gorgeous as well. Photo- Instagram.

In the first few weeks, both entertained in their respective seasons and were loved for their innocence and rawness. But soon, viewers couldn't bear the overdose of their behaviour which came across as fake and over the top. The best similarity would be how both Deepak and Akash had to shave their heads off in order to save their fellow mate during a task which both readily did. Photo- Instagram.

Srishty makes sure to stay tip top in the house, exactly the way Hina Khan would stay in the BB 11 house. Not just that, apparently Srishty has also brought dozens of night wear, different for each night, exactly the way Hina had got. Photo- Instagram.

Talk about making efforts to run away from the BB house, and we see Sreesanth bagging the title. Well, even Vikas Gupta in BB 11 too was seen trying to run away from the house a few times when he was absolutely unable to deal with Shilpa's tantrums and atyachaar. Well, for Sreesanth - Atyachaar or no Atyachaar, the former cricketer is always ready to elope from the house. Be it by emotionally asking BB to let him go or by aggressively trying to jump off the house walls, Sreesanth has done it all. When Vikas had entered the BB 12 house to guide contestants in their game plan, he specifically had told Sreesanth how he could see himself in him and had asked not to repeat the mistakes that he had committed in BB11.

Both the good-looking actors were loved for their maturity and no-nonsense behaviour in their respective seasons. The two believed in simplicity and being modest and absolutely were disinterested in creating a chaos in the house and picking fights unnecessarily. This gentle behaviour of theirs though did not make them win the show but definitely helped them earn some goodwill. Photo- Instagrsm.

Both the North Indian girls are quite a surprise package. Jyoti in BB 11 was quite naive and similarly, Urvashi too looked quite gullible at the beginning of BB 12. Both the girls took their own sweet time to open up and voice their opinion. Just the way Jyoti was loved by Vikas Gupta for her sweet and true nature, Urvashi too was appreciated by Vikas during his special visit in the house where he applauded her for being true and transparent.

We can't deny the fact that like all other seasons, BB 11 and BB 12 too were blessed with beautiful ladies. Adding oomph and glamour to the show we had Bandgi Kalra and Jasleen Matharu in BB 11 and BB 12 respectively. The ladies are undoubtedly a treat to the eyes and were loved for their beauty with brains combination. Well, the two ladies were also popular for their relationship status. While Bandgi found love in fellow mate Puneesh Sharma in BB11, Jasleen is dating fellow mate and Ghazal singer Anup Jalota in BB12. Photo- Instagram.
