I don't know man, I was cringing the entire time I was watching it. Matlab there are 50 different ways to make an entertaining task; yahi sab karna and karwana tha? Tharakpan ki bhi hadd hoti hai.

I'm pretty surprised people are so mad about that dance performance with Sid & the girls, & passing comments such as ''girls crossed all limits'' & such nonsense. Which era are we on again? Why such ridiculous backward mentality?

I didn't find anything wrong with that dance, it was a sexy dance meant for fun. Heck even Abhinav who's Rubina's hubby was seen having fun in the background & cheering her on!

Why Indian women have to be 'sanskari & sati savitri' to be considered good? why can't they be bold & confident like Nikki, Pavitra, Jasmine & Rubina? Have y'all seen BB Canada? they have house party every year where they all have fun kissing & playing sexy games with each other.. why is being sexy still a taboo in India?

I can't believe in 2020, some of us Indians are still narrow minded!👎🏼

all were Amazing n did controlled dance n abhinav was cheering up Rubi is a sign he has NOT found anythng cross the line ..i am thoroughly enjoying Sidharth and his prsence in BB

I have no problem with people sticking with each other or even having sex if they become a couple (please don't show it though) If it's consensual and organic, it's completely alright!


The thing which was wrong here, is the notion that to get selected for something, girls need to seduce their seniors and give them sexual advances. It could have been harmless flirting too but the dry humping just makes things like this (freshers giving sexual advances) "okay" in the real world while it is NOT okay. Lot of girls are forced or made to feel okay about such things against their wishes just so they can advance their careers and that itself is so disturbing!

What if there was a girl in center and 4-5 men did something similar to seduce her? Touched her hopped over her and she enjoyed it all same way? Wouldn't she be criticized by 16+ viewers? Though criticizing would be wrong too as that was a mere task. When ppl can criticize behavior, aggression, outspoken nature, innocence, age, character, showmance/romance than they can also criticize women objectification. Shukla's fans slammed Nikki and Pavitra to an extent that several number of articles were published against their seduction. Aly Goni and his PR defended him by various actions. Previously in BB bold scenes weren't cringy or displayed women objectification whatever people did was consensual and wasn't forced to "please" someone. It had to be like rasleela but it turned to desperation for being most clingy. Plus Shukla is a committed man confirmed by first post after BB with her, dehli interview, first live session with her, comment on her post just 2 days before BB, why he is in contact with her only? He promoted her project only out of all BB contestants? liking VMs, liking posts where they were termed "couple", liking/posting/tweeting/putting on IG story more than 50 letters where SidNaaz and Shehnaaz was mentioned, receiving gifts together. Apologizing to her fans when he never went out of the way. I do feel they just used the tag till now and its mere delusion. Khair Rubina is also married and that was only a task but his continuous flirting and pervert nature with women around when he is committed (though not officially) and their desperation to win the task added to general discomfort.

Because it is another form of the casting couch. Something that producers and directors do with new and upcoming models in order to give them a break. I wouldn't mind if they are having s*x or anything with consent in a show like Love Island or Splitsvilla but BB is a family show. It has always been a family and to say that all of these disgusting and vulgar tasks are okay bc it airs at 10:30 then sorry to say it shows the reeks of victim-blaming. As I have said it before too, no kid with a TV in their home would sleep before 10 especially not in current times when there is no school or anything.

You're calling a task as casting couch & sexual harassment is absolutely bizarre & trivializing the real victims of casting couch & sexual harassment! Go look up the meaning of these terms!

Here all the women did the task with CONSENT. Your take doesn't even make any sense.

Just because it was never advirtised to be the kids show or rated as 16+ does not means that kids will not watch the show. Is this enough to stop kids from watching this absurdity in the name of entertainment??😓😓


I disagree with all your points strongly and I don't think it was just a performance. It was cringeworthy to watch for some reason and it wasn't looking good on TV!!😓😓


I'm sure you have seen BB's previous seasons when it was not this absurd. But now in the name of tasks, they show absurdity. It's not about being narrow minded, its about how it was coming out.


I never said BB India needs to be sankskaari but it does NOT need to be vulgar/absurd either.


It was not a just a dance performance. The way Nikki was all over Shukla, it was looking cringeworthy. Those acts are not natural, but forced and for what?! Just for the sake of a stupid task. I don't really agree.

If a child watches an adult 16+ show, then it's not channel's fault but fault of parents & bad parenting. In my home, no kids watches BB. Even KVB's kids weren't allowed to watch BB12 when their father was on the show. BB is an adult show & makers can add adult content in it, there's nothing with it.

As I said, it was a task done with everyone's consent, all the girls & Sid, & all the contestants took it sportingly & had fun. If people think there's anything wrong with it, then I'd blame people's mind & not the task.

The task was meant to be a sexy dance performance/acting, just like any other sexy dance performance we see in the movies.

The problem isn't with being sexy. As long as women have the agency to assert their sexual prowess, and not feel pressured to do it.

The problem isn't with embracing feminine qualities, but with the purpose of objectification by the channel to raise TRPs.

Women are not abla naaris. I am cringing because I am not sure if the women had the freedom to exercise their agency in this matter.

Who wants to seduce a pig like Shukla willingly, anyway?

Channel also holds some responsibility. Don't blame it on parents totally. In fact it's the channel which wants to show such ghatiya tasks in the name of entertainment.


Fine you will stop kids at home. How will you stop watching them on laptop/computer/phone?? Isn't this then a channel's responsibility to not include bold content which is not suitable for all.


Let's agree to disagree.

It was not comfortable to watch.


And NO, it was NOT meant to be a sexy dance. It was to seduce Siddharth so that some girl can win the task!! And it was disgusting. Whole task was cringeworthy.

Performance is when everyone is a spectator. A man in the middle who you climb on top of to seduce/appease is when a woman gets grossly objectified. This reinforces the stereotype that women seduce men to serve their interests.
