As a die-hard fan who has followed Bigg Boss Kannada since its inception, I must say this latest turn of events has left me utterly dismayed and concerned. The allegations against the show’s makers for violating female contestants’ privacy are deeply troubling and unacceptable, especially given my passion for the series and the values it claims to uphold.
In an unexpected development, creators of the widely-watched reality series Bigg Boss Kannada Season 11 find themselves entangled in a legal issue. As per an article by India Today, the producers were served a police notice on October 14, 2024, due to allegations of infringing upon the privacy rights of female contestants. The Kumbalgodu Police delivered the notice following a complaint lodged by the Karnataka State Commission for Women, who expressed reservations over a contentious task featured on the program.
In the TV show’s segment titled “Heaven and Hell,” the competitors were split into various areas, some of which resembled prison settings. A complaint was lodged by the Women’s Commission over potential privacy infringements, particularly for the female contestants, in a setting with multiple cameras. Additionally, India Today reported that the task sparked worries about insufficient amenities, such as cleanliness and food provision.
Following the submission of the complaint, the Kumbalgodu Police requested the creators of Bigg Boss Kannada to attend an interrogation. Additionally, they have been instructed to provide the uncut footage and soundtrack from the controversial task episode. Furthermore, the producers of the show fronted by Kichcha Sudeep were cautioned that non-cooperation with the investigation could lead to severe legal consequences.
Based on accounts, the police obtained statements from five female contestants after they were kept in conditions resembling prisons. Contrarily, India Today’s sources assert that these female contestants themselves have denied any infringement upon human rights, insisting that all actions were carried out with their approval.
Bigg Boss Kannada’s creators haven’t spoken officially about the matter yet. For now, they’ve taken away the “Heaven and Hell” part of the task and asked the contestants to return to their normal routines within the Bigg Boss house.
The contentious event related to the questionable assignment has ignited intense discussion among spectators, causing many to ponder the moral limits of reality TV. The specifics of the task and the handling of participants, especially females, have faced significant criticism on various social media platforms.
