There have been many guests in Bigg Boss house – Swami Agnivesh, Andrew Symonds and now we have the heaviest sumo wrestler in the world ever, Yamamotoyama. The wrestler weighs 265 kilos (601 pounds) and is 6.4 feet tall. He will be reaching India today Tokyo by a Singapore based airline.

Once he arrives in Mumbai, the wrestler will be taken to the Bigg Boss house in a SUV car. A source says, “The channel has made special arrangements for his nocturnal demands and will provide him with a different dining table. He will be entering the house with a translator this weekend, where he will meet Sanjay Dutt.  The other inmates will interact with him using sign language.”

Yama does not speak English and he cannot understand the language as well. He will be given placards with pictorial representations that will help him communicate his needs to the housemates. Of course, you can expect special activities lined up for his stay in the house.
