Highlights
- VJ Bani, Gaurav Chopra, Rahul Dev were punished for speaking English
- 'Bigg Boss should forbid people from profanity,' read a tweet
- 'What comedy is going in name of task,' tweeted another
Talking, walking, laughing English will do nobody any good in the
Bigg Boss house because Bigg Boss utterly, utterly frowns on
angrezi-speaking and just punished three contestants for breaking this rule.
Day 18 ended with VJ Bani, Gaurav Chopra and Rahul Dev being handed a task
that kept them up all night for speaking in English. As per usual, it ended in drama and tears (Bani's) and today, a day later, Twitter has much to say about this linguistic recalcitrance.
A lone user suggests that it wasn't English that offends but the foul language used:
Bani, who appears to be fairly unpopular, has been singled out for scorn:
But not everyone is against her:
Bani's misdemeanours aren't the only topic of discussion online. Two other contestants - Lopamudra Raut and Mona Lisa - went for a swim in the pool which, apparently, stopped both
the Bigg Boss house as well as Twitter in its tracks.
Among some tweets from those easily shocked was this person outraging over Swami Omji's gawking at the two swimsuit-clad women:
At least someone other than us is outraged.
Bigg Boss, the Indian version of the international reality show, is now in its tenth season and is hosted by actor Salman Khan. This is the first year that non-celebrity contestants are in the house.
Australian TV personality of
Indian-origin Priya Malik told NDTV, "I feel that
Bigg Boss in India is way more dramatized and is driven more towards entertainment." Priya has been on both
Bigg Boss and
Big Brother Australia and is rooting for VJ Bani.
