On 17 Aug 2008 (telecast date), Bedi was ushered into the Bigg Boss (Season 2) as one of the 14 contestants in the second season of the Indian version of Big Brother. she was evicted from bigg boss house on 5 Sep (telecast date).She entered the Bigg Boss house again on 7 October as a wild card entry for securing the highest number of votes amongst all evicted contestants, excluding Ketki Dave and Sanjay Nirupam.
Monica Bedi had romantic involvement with Rahul Mahajan (politician) on Bigg Boss reality show but junior Mahajan has refused to marry the gangster's wife after being evicted from Bigg Boss(Season 2) show.. He claimed that it was a game show and nothing more than that..But bedi seemed to have been fallen for him as she claimed in her interviews that mahajan wanted to marry her and have a future.Also there were reports of her sleeping with mahajan junior in the Bigg Boss house from inmates like Diana hayden..From someone who wanted public sympathy to start her career all over again,to again acting like a gold digger seems pretty ironical..
Jail sentence
In September 2002, she was arrested along with Abu Salem by the Lisbon police for entering Portugal with forged documents. After years of legal battle, they were deported to India in November 11, 2005, after India promised Portugal that Salem would not receive death sentence.
On 29th September 2006, an Indian Court convicted Monica Bedi for passport forgery. CBI had filed a case against Bedi under section 420 (cheating), 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and section 12 of the Passport Act for procuring a passport on a fictitious name.
Bedi was acquitted of all criminal charges by a Bhopal court on July 16 2007 due to lack of evidence against her. Yet another case for possessing a passport from Hyderabad on forged documents in the name of Sana Malik is pending in a Hyderabad court.
