Reality show Bigg Boss Kannada Season 11 has landed in legal trouble, with the Karnataka State Women Commission and police issuing notices to the show’s makers. The complaint alleges that the privacy of female contestants was compromised during one of the tasks, sparking a fresh wave of controversy for the popular show.
Complaint Over the ‘Heaven and Hell’ Task
The controversy centers around a task called Heaven and Hell, where participants were divided into two groups, and some contestants were placed in a “jail” setting. The Women Commission claims that female contestants’ privacy was violated as part of the task’s design.
Shared Bathroom Raises Concerns
One major allegation is that female contestants were forced to share bathrooms with male participants, raising questions about the show’s respect for personal space and privacy. The complaint also highlighted negligence regarding food, cleanliness, and hygiene during the task.
Contestants Deny Misconduct
In response to the investigation, contestants were questioned by authorities. However, they denied any mistreatment or violation of their rights, stating that their participation in the task was voluntary, with nothing being imposed on them against their will.
Kiccha Sudeep Exits the Show After 10 Years
In a surprising twist, actor Kiccha Sudeep, who had been hosting Bigg Boss Kannada for over a decade, announced his departure from the show. He shared the news on social media, thanking fans for their love and support over the years.
Sudeep wrote, “The journey of 10+1 years has been incredible. But now it’s time for me to move on and explore new opportunities.” He confirmed that Season 11 would be his last as the show’s host.
Earlier Controversy in Bigg Boss 18
This controversy follows another incident from Bigg Boss 18, where a donkey named Gadharaj was introduced as a contestant. The move sparked backlash from PETA, leading to the animal’s release after a letter of complaint.
The current controversy with Bigg Boss Kannada 11 has once again raised questions about reality shows crossing ethical lines in the name of entertainment.
