Another highlight for Jaipurites is that one of the contestants of Bigg Boss Season 10 hails from Jaipur – Manoj Tyagi, fondly known as Manu Punjabi. He has been shortlisted for the commoner contestants and will compete with them.
Self-obsessed Manoj Punjabi admits that he is a playboy and enjoys flirting and smooth-talking with ladies. He knows how to impress with his charm. Despite being a commoner, Manu Punjabi from Jaipur is all charged up and confident to woo the celebrities of Bigg Boss 10 house. He also does mimicry and is sure to gain attention through his gimmicks in the house. He enjoys partying, playing cricket and watching cartoons.
The 34-year-old Capricorn, who has entered Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss Season 10 show, was born on December 27, 1982. He did his schooling from Mahesh High School, Jodhpur and is a real estate businessman living in Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur. He is all set to fight it out with the other shortlisted contestants to make a place inside the Bigg Boss 10 house this year.
Manoj says
“I’m Manoj ‘Jugaad’ Punjabi. Impossible is not a word in my dictionary. I can really push my limits inside the Bigg Boss house and I would drink the water of the entire swimming pool for a task if needed.”
In the words of his fiancee Priya Saini
“We are very excited about the whole prospect of seeing him on the show. Manoj left Jaipur on October 8 to shoot for the show in Mumbai. Before that, the makers of the show had come to Jaipur to shoot a video about his life here. It will be shown on the introductory episode.”
Priya described Manoj, aka Manu Punjabi, as a short-tempered guy and a cricket-lover. She said, “He has this habit of getting into any fight or argument, even if it has got nothing to do with him. Also, he is obsessed with cleanliness.”
Bigg Boss 10 is not his first show
This isn’t the first time that Jaipur’s Manu Punjabi will be seen on a reality show.
