‘Bigg Boss 16’: Not Enough Contestants Nominated Sajid Khan, MC Stan. Are We Prioritizing Petty Issues Over The Allegations Against Them?

‘Bigg Boss 16’: Not Enough Contestants Nominated Sajid Khan, MC Stan. Are We Prioritizing Petty Issues Over The Allegations Against Them?

While Bigg Boss has always been a headline-making reality show in India, it’s safe to say that this season of the show has induced a lot of criticism. With problematic contestants such as MeToo accused Sajid Khan, MC Stan, and Shalin Bhanot of being on the list of contestants. Last night was a night of surprise open nominations for Bigg Boss where people named who they would like to be eliminated from the show and a few contestants named Sajid. My question is, why aren’t most contestants doing the same?

Last night, in a round of surprise nominations, Sajid Khan was nominated by Tina Dutta, Priyanka Deshpande, Archana Pradhan, Sumbul Touqeer Khan, and ironically enough, Shalin Bhanot. While the other contestants were naming each other in the nominations, I couldn’t help but wonder if these petty grudges were more important than calling out a man that has been accused of sexual abuse by 9 women during the MeToo movement.

The fact that no female contestants spoke against being locked in a house with 3 men who have a history of assaulting women but even female ex-contestants publicly showed Sajid Khan’s support makes me sick. Matlab chal kya raha hai? Do we have no regard for the women he affected? What disgusts me further is that Farah Khan, a woman herself, suggested that he go on the show so that people can see his real self!

And can we just return back to the number of people who were nominated for Sajid and MC Stan? Two men who have some heinous and grave allegations! Stan was nominated by Manya Singh, Ankit Gupta, Archana Pradhan, and Gautam Vig. Out of 18 contestants, only 8 wanted to nominate these 2 problematic men. And that too not because of the accusations, as far as I know. All of them had reasons other than the glaring elephant in the room. So why are these men still getting publicity despite the allegations against them? And why are we expected to be ignorant of this very public information?
