with more people entering the
show soon, there's tension
among the recently evicted
contestants. Reason?
According to the clauses stated in
the contract, all contestants
during the tenure of the show
cannot sign any new TV shows or
take up any professional
assignments till the show is on.
This means that now they will
have to wait till February, before
accepting any work assignment.
We spoke to some of the evicted
contestants about this
development:
Deepshikha Nagpal
Although we know for sure that
the extension is happening, no
one has informed us about it. We
are just twiddling our thumbs
doing nothing and when we call
the production house, they refuse
to comment whether our contract
has been extended or we can
accept other assignments. I have
lost out on two TV shows, which
is upsetting. It is completely
unprofessional to not inform the
participants about the same. Why
is the production house not
showing any sense of
responsibility?
Diandra Soares
I have a two-film project with
Pooja Bhatt and since I had
accepted Bigg Boss, I could not
start work at that time. Now, the
shooting starts in February, so I
have time. For all you know, I
might be back on the show.
They have asked us not to sign
any TV shows, but there has been
no word on films, so let's see
what happens.
Sukirti Kandpal
I am still waiting for them to get
back to us and be reasonable. I
am fine with the contract and will
abide by the rules till February,
but I have lost out on shows. I
also lost out on an opportunity to
perform for a New Year event,
which was going to be telecast on
TV. I am hoping that the makers
will give us some clarity on this.
Soni Singh
It is getting very irritating. Yes, I
have lost out on two shows and
three events. This is the time
when we need to work hard and
earn money, instead we are sitting
at home doing nothing. The
production house has not even
bothered to inform us that such
an extension is happening. People
inside the house know about it
and we are clueless. If they are
not modifying the contract, they
should pay us or have a
discussion through which both
parties can stand to gain. I had
already blocked my dates till
January 3, now I can't even go out
on a holiday because it will be
expensive.
