Sumo wrestler Yama had an interesting stay in the house.
 
The housemates found him quite entertaining as well, even though there was a communication gap.
 
When Yama jumped into the swimming pool, Amar and Sky couldn't help but make fun of him. Sidharth, on the other hand, joined him in.

The other highlight of his stay was the banana-eating competition that pitted Yama against the three-man team of Amar, Sidharth and Sky.
 
The three had a blast wolfing down 47 bananas between them while Yama could only manage 17. The enormous wrestler's excuse for not packing in more bananas was that he had had a heavy breakfast.
