Bigg Boss is a show that always manages to bring a popular name from a region that is relatively unknown to the mainstream audience. There have so many examples of the same, Shehnaaz Gill and Sapna Choudhary being the most recent ones. While they were recognisable faces in their respective fraternity, the actresses were fresh for the Hindi audience back then. With Bigg Boss 16, Gori Nagori is a name like that. She is a known name in Western India.

On Friday night, as Salman Khan returned to host Bigg Boss for the 13th time, he introduced Gori Nagori as one of the contestants on BB 16. Popularly known as Gori Nagori, her real name is Gori Malik. Born and brought up in Rajasthan's city Nagaur, she is a popular dancer.
