A mystical Boss’s Bigg thundering voice has not only blown the senses off his protégés but also knocked down millions over their seats across borders.

Inmates beat the depths of cheapness in the name of survival…Charles Darwin would be turning in his grave!

Indian TV viewers are taken hostage by Gauhar, Tanisha, Armaan, Kamya, Pratyusha, Andy, Kushal … the entire bandwagon playing their part.

Salman Khan is leading with aplomb, too. Each justifying their earnings worth, taking viewers for a ride.

Peeping into the lives of the rich and famous is not isolated to the Subcontinent, but an obsession to the same is not common either.

If scheming, swearing, gossiping, flirting, snooping, flaunting…attracts record viewership, then, somewhere down the line, it reflects on the masses.

Can’t a few strangers live together decently?

Harping on one’s sexuality, slandering, shoving one other in the chest at the drop of a hat, hoisting co-inhabitants lingerie on their snobbishness seems non-sense.

A dirty show that mirrors reality?

Considering the public debate after each episode, Bigg Boss seems a microcosmic view of society at large.

Viewers ranting their opinion and abusing all those who differ.

The extent to which viewers can lose their sensibility while getting at one another and supporting the housemates is least of the fun.

With Bigg Boss aired at prime time, and families glued to TV sets, children could get the wrong idea about being street-wise.

How about a ‘Biggest Loser Award’ to the filthiest mind in the house?
