What people are saying
After witnessing everything on Bigg Boss, I have made one decision as a father: I will not let my children watch Bigg Boss anymore.
Bigg Boss is a game. Disagree with Mahhi, question her gameplay and challenge her decisions, but bringing her children, motherhood and personal life into it is crossing a boundary.
Tara is a 7-year-old baby. She is not a contestant of Bigg Boss. Getting a child to put someone down is absolutely nonsense.
My children's peace and innocence will always come first.
