Bollywood
PR guru’s suggestion that the upcoming Season 6 of India’s biggest
reality show Bigg Boss “could target generation next to expand its
fan-base to children and teens,” has caused an uproar in the industry
circles.
Last week, while answering queries regarding Bigg Boss, the celebrity
PR specialist also suggested that “the show could have a separate
enclosure or playhouse specially constructed for kids, where they could
make merry and also interact with superstar host Salman Khan.”
The idea has sparked a hot debate on whether it is okay to involve
children in a reality show that is high on glamour, theatrics and
politics, with ex-Housemates saying, it’s a ‘bad idea’!
In a report in Hindustan Times, actor Ashmit Patel said, “I don’t
think it’s a good idea at all. The purpose of the show is to put the
housemates under such extreme physical, mental, emotional stress that
they crumble; thus providing drama and content. I don’t think it’s
correct to put a child through this.” Coincidently, Bhagwagar was
Ashmit’s publicist during his stormy stint in Season 4.
The report also quoted Miss Afghanistan Vida Samadzai of Bigg Boss
Season 5, stating, “I wouldn’t want fragile teens or innocent children
to be a part of this war zone.”
But singer-actress Raageshwari who participated in Season 6, seemed
to side with Bhagwagar’s view as she commented, “Children need to be
nurtured and loved, so if Bigg Boss promises tons of love and emotional
protection to children, then it would be interesting to learn from
them.”
For the record, Dale Bhagwagar has handled the media affairs for some
of the most controversial Bollywood celebrities including Shilpa Shetty
during Big Brother, and Bigg Boss contestants Rakhi Sawant, Kashmera
Shah, Sambhavna Seth, Vindu Dara Singh, Sherlyn Chopra, Ashmit Patel,
Amar Upadhyay and Pooja Misrra, from time to time.
