A source says, "From day one, local Shiv Sena party members were agitating outside the house against Begum and Veena. We had enough security here on the set so the situation remained under control. However, when they decided to ban the telecast via cable operators which affected the ratings of the show, we had to take some action. So the channel sent an apology to Shiv Sena. The matter did not get over there, as they are still demanding the ouster of Veena and Begum or else they are threatening to protest again. Since there is no way we can change the format of the show, the channel is contemplating to evict them through weekly elimination. This week, both have been nominated along with Shweta Tiwari. by the rest of the housemates and there is a strong buzz that Begum may have to walk out of the show on Friday."
