Former dacoit Seema Parihar, who you saw last on reality show Bigg Boss 4, is expected to move into actor Vindoo Dara
Singh's home. It's all for a new television show, Maa Exchange that is expected to go on-air soon.
The desi version of Wife Swap is expected to have the former bandit spend eight days in Singh's home in a war of domestic
dynamics.
While channel sources agree that other contestants are wary of having Parihar over thanks to her criminal record, for the
moment, they agree that she seems to be on.
Also scheduled to house- swap are television and stage actress Apara Mehta (Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi) and actor
Sudesh Berry.
Television host Pooja Bedi says her stint on Maa Exchange has changed her perception of house-keeping ever since she
exchanged homes with comedian Rajeev Nigam.
Though she describes the experience as "super-fun", Bedi adds that it was a domestic horror. "I was mom to a five year-old
boy with decayed teeth. His real mom fed him chocolate milk and laddoo for breakfast. He followed no timetable, slept at
crazy hours and ate at odd times, " says Bedi.
According to the rules of the show, she had to spend the first four days following the rules of her new home, and spend the
next four days getting her televised son and husband to follow her rules.
"I had a chauvinistic husband, who interfered with everything. I was in a filthy home that needed non-stop cleaning. I was
cooking, cleaning and disciplining, non-stop. But it was fun nonetheless. I hope I made a positive difference in that home."
Bedi says she has come out feeling like super-woman. "It has made me grateful for what I have. My own kids appreciate me a
1, 000 times more after living with another mom."
