Here's a quick way for Bigg Boss to rack up its ratings: bring someone Pakistani on board! That'll get the whole country watching.
While notorious social media 'celebrity' Qandeel Baloch is convinced she's the ideal choice from Pakistan - she 'leaked' the alleged offer from Bigg Boss on her Facebook page herself - she isn't game until her "conditions are met". Hmmm.
If Bigg Boss really has its eye on Pakistani talent, here's five other people who'd have people glued to the screens:
1) Taher Shah
You know what happens on Bigg Boss. Drama, angst, gossip, war. What the show really needs is a peacemaker, a diplomat, a... Mankind's Angel. One who can see eye to eye with the rest of the dearest creations. Perhaps then, and only then, the Bigg Boss house will be heaven on Earth. (Sorry, not sorry)
2) Ayyan Ali
Homegirl's been to jail, doesn't that make her a certified badass? I see her conquering Bigg Boss, Orange Is The New Black-style. A dangerous woman from prison, toughened up from the hard days she endured - the gal won't take no shizzle from no one! I can already imagine her in a corner, sizing everyone up and who knows, maybe we'll see a gang war of lipstick proportions.
Plus, Ayaan's a pro at winning favour. Remember when she insisted on buying her fellow inmates sehri and iftari last Ramzan? She could go all the way to the top.
Now, let's just hope she knows how to get through customs this time around.

3) Meera
We wonder how Meera Jee will say 'Bigg Boss'... but her struggle will be worth it (for us). We need some entertainment up in that house and Meera can be a laugh-a-minute.
Besides, if her film Hotal – touted as Pakistan’s first Bollywood film (?!) – wasn’t her cover letter for more work in India, we don’t know what is.
Producers, give her a call already. Just pray she doesn't pop the question to Salman Khan! (That would make a great TV moment, though.)
4) Hamza Ali Abbasi
Every Bigg Boss season has that one crucial character who wishes he could be the ring leader of the mad house.
Hamza Ali Abbasi is the well-intentioned guy, who insists on sharing with people his version of what's what, in a country where no one's listening.
He'll fit right in!
5) Mahira Khan, for the win!
We love her, you love her, Bollywood loves her, so this one is a definite! Mahira Khan needs to be in Bigg Boss just so she can bring the winning title home.
Heck, it'd be great promotion for her Bolly debut, Raees, and we're sure she picked up some badass-ery after playing a gangster's wife. She'll handle the drama, while being true to her fun, quirky, goody-two-shoes self.
Let's just get 'Team Mahira' T-shirts made already!
