Bigg Boss 16 is all set to premiere on October 1 with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan taking forward the hosting duties. Yesterday, during the event in Mumbai, Salman introduced the first confirmed contestant, Tajikistani singer and musician Abdu Rozik.

On Wednesday, the makers dropped another promo teasing the new contestant in the show. In the



promo, the rapper is seen addressing Bigg Boss as ‘bro’ in his hip-hop style. 

MC Stan, whose real name is Altaf Tadavi aka Altaf Shaikh is a Pune-based rapper. He now stays in Mumbai and has released two albums, Insaan and Tadipaar. MC Stan recently also made headlines after his former girlfriend accused him of getting her beaten up by miscreants.

Bigg Boss Marathi 2 winner Shiv Thakare has also been roped in for Bigg Boss 16. Shiv Thakare rose to fame by taking part in MTV Roadies Rising. He was part of Rannvijay’s gang. His closeness with co-contestant Veena Jagtap during the Bigg Boss Marathi also gained the limelight. However, they both soon broke up.
