01/16Bigg Boss 8: Controversies that boosted the TRPs

Ali's jokes are mostly below the belt: Mahek Chahal
Wild card entry Mahek Chahal, who recently got evicted from the Bigg Boss house, says that though Ali Quli Mirza has an amazing sense of humour, his jokes are often below the belt. "Ali has a great sense of comedy but he crosses the limit and goes below the belt. Whatever he recently did with Gautam is a good example of the fact. It's not that he doesn't realise that he has gone overboard but by the time he realises it, the damage is already done. But then you have to also realise what all he has gone through in these last four months. From being cornered in the house to being slapped, he has gone through a lot of things. So we have to understand that also," said the actress.
While controversial statements such as these are a surefire way to generate sky-high TRPs, let's take a look at other controversies that resulted in more viewership for the show. by Vijaya Tiwari

According to an IANS report, evicted contestant Sana Khan who entered Bigg Boss Halla Bol as a Challenger, opines that everyone in the House is fake. "Everybody there wants to fight and create mess to seek attention. In my two weeks' journey, I did my best to bring some positivity inside there but everything happened opposite to what I thought. I can't be like Ajaz Khan, who can entertain people with his loud behaviour to stay in the show for a long time," she said to IANS. When asked who according to her is fake inside the house, Sana said, "All of them are fake in the Bigg Boss house. I didn't see any real emotions there. People were changing groups daily. All the contestants were changing opinions about each other on a day-to-day basis," stated the report.

According to a Bollywoodlife.com report, Ali Quli Mirza has threatened to smooch Gautam Gulati on Bigg Boss 8. In another bizzare incident of sorts, after venting out his frustration over the phone, during the Call Centre task, Ali Quli Mirza complimented Gautam Gulati on the mole that the latter has on his lips. But he didn't stop there. Interestingly, he went on to threaten Gautam with a smooch to which the TV actor took an offence and threatened to hit anyone who tried to get close to him. Ali then took this up as a challenge and has promised to smooch Gautam in the following 24 hours.

Reportedly, Bigg Boss 8's new host, Farah Khan, reacted to Ajaz Khan-Ali Quli Mirza spat by questioning Ajaz and the latter didn't like her comment at all. The report quotes Ajaz as saying that he is hurt because of the way he was treated and disappointed as he wasn't allowed to present his version of the story. He claims that everything happened in the heat of the moment and that Ali hit him first with his elbow which wasn't shown on camera. He further states that when he saw a doctor, he was told that he had a swelling. Ajaz also reacts to Farah Khan's statement by saying that calling him, 'Aadmi ya bandar' was uncalled for.

According to a report on Businessofcinema.com, there has apparently been a conflict between the makers of Bigg Boss and the channel that airs it over the Bhavishyavaniya task that the contestants were made to participate in, during the last week. Apparently the purpose of the task wasn't aptly conveyed to the inmates and they ended up doing the opposite of what was intended. Due to this, the task had to be stopped midway and as a result apparently the TRPs of the show were also affected. This has reportedly created a rift between Colors head honchos and the Endemol Creative team.

Puneet–Aarya fight: The fight between Puneet Issar and Aarya Babbar during a task reminds us of a scene from the last season, when Armaan Kohli was arrested from the house for abusing Sofia Hayat. Though the fight between Aarya and Puneet didn’t invite police to the house, it did turn out to be a big controversy. Puneet Issar used martial art technique on Aarya Babbar to pin him on the floor during a task. After this, Bigg Boss immediately ordered to stop the task mid way followed by the announcement of Puneet Issar’s punishment. This incident created a lot of chaos as even host Salman Khan was dragged into this controversy.

Karishma's make-up kit controversy: Karishma Tanna grabbed a lot of limelight because of her famous make-up kit controversy. Karishma, during the telephone booth task, had to surrender her entire make–up kit to Bigg Boss and had to be in front of camera without make–up all the time. In the next task Bigg Boss smartly gave her two options to choose from. Either she could opt for her make–up kit or she could relieve her friend Sushant Digvikar from the role of sevak. Her decision shocked everyone. Instead of opting for relieving her good friend, she selfishly opted for her make–up. Her decision changed the dynamics of the house.

Aarya–Minissha link-up: Yet another TRP boosting controversy of this season was Aarya Babbar’s shocking confession about her alleged love affair with Minissha Lamba. Minissha had accused Aarya of planning a fake romance with her to grab attention in the show, but this didn’t settle down well with Aarya. On Weekend ka Vaar when Salman Khan raised this topic in a fit of anger, Aarya said that Minissha was his girlfriend in the past. His revelation was unbelievable and the house went completely numb for some time.
