Raja Chaudhary ( ) is a Bhojpuri film actor and producer, known more famously as a participant of Bigg Boss 2, the Indian version of the British reality TV show Big Brother, and also as the estranged husband of television actress Shweta Tiwari. Raja, a Jat, hails from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. He married Shweta Tiwari on 23 December 1999. The couple featured together in season 2 of the reality dance show Nach Baliye. Raja also played villain in the Bhojpuri film Saiyyan Hamar Hindustani opposite Shweta Tiwari. He has also acted in television serials like Your Honour, Daddy Samjha Karo and Aane Wala Pal. Since his entry into the Bigg Boss house on 17 August 2008, Raja Chaudhary’s popularity has grown prolifically. He was nominated for eviction a record five times and was saved on each occasion by his followers. Despite eventually finishing second-best to contestant Ashutosh Kaushik because of what the media has labeled a sympathy vote, Raja Chaudhary still leads the online popularity poll among all housemates being conducted on the official website of Bigg Boss 2. Admired by fans for his straight-talking tongue-in-cheek polemic, he is criticized by his detractors for his temper tantrums and for being coarse and vulgar, particularly in his language. Bigg Boss 2 will be remembered by most viewers as much for his confrontations with Bhojpuri item girl Sambhavna Seth as for his delectable chemistry with Rahul Mahajan, son of the late politician Pramod Mahajan. His graciousness in defeat has further endeared him to fans. He is currently featuring in a TV serial called Black on 9X Channel, directed by Sunil Agnihotri. On November 20, 2010, he was arrested by the police for beating his girlfriend Shradha Sharma, at his Oshiwara residence. |
