Bigg Boss 7 Elimination: Rajat Rawail became second to be Eliminated from Bigg Boss 7

After struggling with his health throughout his two-week stay in the Bigg Boss house, Rajat Rawail became the second contestant to get eliminated from the seventh season of the show tonight.

Rajat's exit came as a relief not only to him but also his fellow contestants, who were worried about his wellbeing after he had a meltdown on the Colors show last week.

"I am happy with my eviction as I was missing my daughter and wife. I am the only contestant in the house who has a kid. I entered the show with a mission to make everyone laugh and get a good physique but due to my bad health I was unable to give my best on the show," Rajat told PTI after his eviction.

During the first week, Rajat, who played Salman Khan's friend Tsumani in Bodyguard, had a decent stay in the house and took active participation in the household chores and performed all the tasks diligently.

But, things started getting bad for him as he suffered health problems.The house in the reality show, where all 14 contestants are holed up for three months without any connectivity with the outside world, has been divided into heaven and hell segments under the new format. Rajat said he found it tough to fit in.

"I feel the format of the show is tough this time. Even the tasks are tough and it's really impossible for a person like me to be a part of the show," Rajat said.

Miss World 2013:Miss World gets rid of swimwear round this year

Contestants at this year's Miss World beauty pageant will not wear bikinis in the parade in a bid to avoid causing offence in Muslim-majority Indonesia, organisers confirmed on Wednesday.
The 137 women taking part in the September contest will swap bikinis for more conservative attire, such as traditional sarongs, for the beach fashion section.The contest is being held on the resort island of Bali, where foreign tourists flock in their millions and the beaches are packed with women sunbathing in skimpy swimwear.

But Miss World Organisation chairwoman Julia Morley insisted that none of the pageant's contestants would wear a bikini."I don't want to upset or get anyone in a situation where we are being disrespectful," she told AFP from London.
"We treasure respect for all the countries that take part in the pageant," she said, adding the final outfits had not yet been finalised.
Organisers are treading carefully after a number of music acts to recently visit Indonesia provoked controversy due to performers' outfits.

Last year pop sensation Lady Gaga was forced to cancel her concert in Indonesia after Muslim hardliners threatened to burn down the venue.
Singer Beyonce and band The Pussycat Dolls were also asked to cover up before performing in the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation.

The upcoming Miss World pageant, to be held in Bali and Bogor just outside Jakarta, has already stirred anger with the country's top Muslim clerical body, the Indonesian Ulema Council, which has called for its cancellation.

Council cleric Muhyidin Djunaedi accused the event of "promoting hedonism, materialism and consumerism", and said contestants were not positive role models for Muslim youth.

However, organisers insisted that the decision to axe bikinis was taken when the agreement was first struck to hold the event in Indonesia and that they had not changed their plans following complaints.



"We discussed the beach fashion issue last year with Miss World in London before we even agreed to host the event because we knew this would be sensitive in Indonesia," said Nana Putra from media group MNC, the official broadcaster and local organiser.

South Korean rapper Psy plans to follow his Gangnam Style YouTube megahit with a single called "Gentleman" and a new dance, but is playing coy about everything else ahead of the song's release, which was moved up a day to April 12.
The song will be available for Korean fans then, but Psy will perform it in public for the first time at an April 13 concert.

Korean Singer PSY is expected to bring New Album

"The new song is extremely fun and ... what I can tell you is the song title is 'Gentleman'", Psy told local television late on Monday."I can't tell you about the dance but all Koreans know this dance - but (those in) other countries haven't seen it", Psy added, hinting at a takeoff on a traditional dance."There is still more than a week left before the concert so we can't say (the title) will be unchanged," manager Hwang Kyu-wan told Reuters.

Psy has told his fans to turn up sporting white clothes at the upcoming concert, and posed in a variety of white garb himself, including a spacesuit and a bridal gown.
But the singer also said that stardom has taken a toll. In late March he tweeted a photo of himself covering his face at a recording studio, calling it the "pain of creation".

Deep Purple postpones Nepal tour to April 26

Legendary Rock Band Deep Purple who were supposed to perform a big concert this Friday (March 15) here in Kathmandu, has postponed the concert to April 26. Citing the ongoing political condition and frequently organizing strikes, the event manager ODC entertainment informed media of the delay. Bollywood sensation Farhan Akhtar was also supposed to perform during the event which is also deferred for now.

Having bought the ticket just two days before, I am very much disappointed with this postponement as I have been waiting so desperately to have a catch of their rocking performance in my own city. 

As I am uncertain of my presence in Kathmandu on April 26 (which is more than one month from now) due to office work, I feel like I won't be able to attend the concert. Now I just hope they wont cancel the concert though I may not be there, as it will have adverse effect on future concerts to be held here and the organizers will be discouraged to organize such big concert here.

According to some media, it is known that the ODC entertainment are just taking advantage of the ongoing strikes and postponed the concert due to least no.of ticket sales. Lets see how they are going to bring the reason behind the concert in a press meet to be organized later today. And let us know what if we want to get our money back if I am not able to be here in that time.
