‘Bigg Boss ka adesh hai ki KRK confession room mein aaye’. Sudden panic the voice echoes in the house. Anticipation and anxiety grips the housemates as their fellow mate walks in to the confession room. Inside, the inundated KRK obeys the voice of Bigg Boss whose voice has no face but remains as intimidating as any other with one. Bigg Boss asks him to gather his calm and narrate his side of the story. KRK swallows his anger and narrates like an acquiescent child. His eyes full of tears ready to roll down any moment. His voice trembling as he spoke. His mind running to conclusions he dreads. His heart pounding in anticipation and exits at the command of the voice.
I was amazed how the inmates react when a mere voice commands their being. They have not seen the face, they have not felt the soul yet the fear, the respect and the authority that the voice commands is like it were the voice of God. It's funny how every one reacts when Bigg Boss speaks in to the microphone. His voice has an identity of its own. Perhaps no face so far has managed to command authority apart from Amitabh Bachchan's.
When the voice was first heard on TV, people had placed their guesses for it to be the Bachchan's, eventually turned out to be an anticlimax when he came to host season 3. I, like many other's have pictured the personality behind this voice. We do not know who the voice is but my guess is this Bigg Boss must be a young 30-ish man. Average built and an attitude to match the voice. When he speaks he must be sitting on a massive royalty like chair to get that authority. He must look like ummmm.... Saif from Tasshan.... minus the voice ;-)
Am a radio person so voices intrigue me... i begin to build personalities around voices.... and trust me they sure have a personality of their own. I wouldn't be surprised if my description of Bigg Boss is a complete contradiction to the real. I have seen people walking into my station and meeting my jocks and being pleasantly surprised at how their picture of the face behind the voice is so drastically different. I wouldn't want to put a face to the voice, i am happy to see how only a voice can shake the existence of 13 people. 'Bigg Boss ka adesh hai ke iss baare mein koi baat na kii jaaye'.
