As the contestants holed up in the Karjat house for Bigg Boss get cozy and comfortable with each other, the conversation gets more and more uninhibited and candid. On Monday night viewers and rival channels were surprised to hear pointed references and barbs aimed at small-screen bahus in long-running soaps, who're scandalously dressed and have their pallus hanging down way beyond the positions of decorum. The references to Ekta Kapoor's serials were quite obvious with special mention of Urvashi Dholakia and her outrageous dress code as a bahu. In fact a channel source from Sony reveals, "They did refer to Ekta's serials. We beeped out all references made to her. It didn't seem proper."
Ekta, on her part is quite amused at this latest development. "Did these 'celebrities' really speak about my serials? I wish them and the show all the best," she said.
Samir Nair of Star is far more forthright. "It's a free country and everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. But obviously these are people who've seen a certain level of success and would never reach the level of Ekta's serials. We at the channel aren't really bothered by what these people say."
