In a recent turn of events, the debate concerning the authenticity of the famous reality show Bigg Boss has resurfaced. Viewers and fans have constantly expressed issues about the show's staged nature and how its rules are implemented.
Unlike the conventional TV version, the Bigg Boss OTT spin-off provides viewers with 24-hour live stream access, allowing them to closely watch the contestants' actions. However, a recent video circulating on the internet has rekindled doubts about the show's scripted nature. The footage apparently shows Pooja Bhatt, using a phone inside the house, sparking concerns about the transparency in the show's format.
During a recent task, Pooja Bhatt was playing a director who had to cast housemates for different roles. For assigning the parts, Pooja had to indulge in one-on-one conversations with the housemates. During one such interaction, Pooja was seen looking down and supposedly using a phone. This clip caught the attention of the viewer who felt that Pooja might have access to a phone in the Bigg Boss house. This clip has sparked speculation about the show being scripted.
On the other hand, there are reports that Pooja might exit the show soon. The Twitter handle, BiggBoss_Tak said on Friday, "According to a source, Pooja Bhatt ji has the contract of only 6 weeks and she may exit the show this weekend due to her prior commitments. There is speculation that Alia Bhatt might make an appearance during this Weekend Ka Vaar to promote her film and possibly take her sister, Pooja ji, out of the show. That's why she seen often entering confession room maybe for negotiating and discussions on contract. However, please note that all of this is assumptions. Stay tuned for further updates!"
Talking about the show, as the contestants entered the Finale week, there will be a unique nomination task this time. During the task, 2 friends or highly unlike pairs of the house will randomly be called in the activity area. The setup inside will resemble a 'room of dilemma'. Herein, the pair has to mutually select one person to nominate out of the 2 options given to them.
