Profile: Bigg Boss finalists 2008

Mumbai: It's just a few hours to the grand finale of the most talked about reality show this season. After lots of controversies, bitter battles and catfights Bigg Boss Season 2 will decide who'll walk away with the rupees 1 crore cash prize this Saturday. But as the clock keeps ticking, here's a quick look at the three finalists battling out for the Big Bucks

Raja Chaudharay

He gives new meaning to the phrase "Any publicity is good publicity". While Raja Chaudhary might have tasted a bit of fame while dancing along side his now separated wife, television actress Shweta Tiwari - it was the infamous domestic abuse incident that took him to the front page of most tabloids. And the bad boy tag didn't help him much during his stay at Bigg Boss house.

Not many know that Raja has played many a villain in Bhojpuri films, including one with his then wife Shweta in Saiyyan Hamar Hindustani. But even this bad boy has friends hooting for him back home

"Raja is the most popular. I am not saying this because he is my friend, but he is the biggest entertainer amongst the three right now," says Raja's friend, Rajeev Singh.

Ashutosh Kaushik

His would truly be a 'rags to riches' story if declared the winner this Saturday. For Ashutosh Kaushik hails from the small town of Saharanpur, in Uttar Pradesh where his only source of income until six months back was a tiny dhaba. But life did a u-turn when Ashutosh won the 5th season of MTV's adventure reality show Roadies. Winning Bigg Bosswould definitely be the icing on the cake, thanks to the big moolah - that would make life a lot easier for this small towner.

"We pray that he wins the show and return victorious," says Ashu's grandmother, Rammurthy Devi Kaushik.

Zulfi Syed

His shy demeanor has kept Zulfi Syed out of most controversies in Bigg Boss house, though facing 32 cameras might be a new experience, this model turned actor has featured in several forgettable movies including - Taj Mahal, Mr Hot and Mr Kool and more recently Deshdrohi.

What has helped Zulfi stay in the race perhaps is also his traditional good looks and a steady female fan following. And this Bangalore boy has his family backing him all the way.

"Zulfi is the only person who is properly in the house without any contact with the outside world. He is completely incommunicable," says Zulfi's Brother-in Law, Sharyar Khan
