00:00Well, I don't know about the budgets and all, as I said, I'm not producing the show.
00:10I beg to differ here, because I think, see, the problem is that Bigg Boss shows and reality
00:21shows are not made on paper.
00:25Fiction shows are made on paper.
00:26For example, I have written a scene and I see that the girl is doing exactly that, i.e.
00:32there is a storm, she walks, she goes to the temple, so it is happening.
00:37Reality shows are made on the contestants.
00:39You can make a structure that yes, we will do this task, but what is happening in that
00:44task is not in your hands, it is the contestants who do it, your creative contestants run it.
00:52So I think it is very important to have the right mix of people in the house.
00:56What happened this time, I think the mix is not right anywhere, because I didn't even
01:03know why some people were in this house, I mean, according to me, they were not any kind
01:09of celebrity, I have not heard anything like this about them outside, I mean, I for one
01:15did not know, so I was not interested in a lot of people, I mean, why should I see this,
01:20why should I see this, why is this, why is this, why is this, but obviously the channel
01:24had a reason, i.e. there was something in their mind, that's why they brought them,
01:28but then they also realized that oh probably these people have not given the content that
01:34they were expected to give.
01:36So I think this is neither the failure of the creative team nor the failure of the channel,
01:43this is the defeat of the contestants, because so many contestants who come to the house
01:47now, they come fake, i.e. first of all, they ape someone, they feel that going to the big
01:53boss means screaming, shouting, making a fuss, that is it, because social media writes that
01:59only, so somewhere this is a circle, because if you don't scream, you don't make a scene,
02:06then social media will not write about you, if social media does not write about you, then
02:11people will not talk about you, if people do not talk about you, then you will lose the
02:15show.
02:16This is a mindset, I think it is completely wrong, because Rahul Roy won in season 1,
02:21who was playing very calmly and he was playing very normally, yes, now the era is not of
02:28Rahul Roy, I completely agree, but at the same time, it is not even of the unnecessary
02:34hooliganism, shouting, shouting, it is not even of that, whatever contestant you see,
02:41whatever big boss wins, there has always been a humanity factor in it, there has always
02:48been a humility, and I think he wins because of that, so I think more than the channel,
02:55it is the contestants who come to Big Boss, should remember that this is a reality show
03:00and the more real it is, the better, it is not just saying that I am real, I am real,
03:05and the second thing is that I feel that a fatigue value has also come somewhere, because
03:10you know, while watching everything, same thing, same topic, same topic, while watching
03:15at least I have also got bored, so I think that a slight fatigue has come, but I think
03:22you get one batch of good contestants and exciting content and everything will be fine,
03:28so it is nothing so serious I feel.
03:36I don't even know the names of a couple, it was a couple, husband and wife,
03:41yes, that lady, I don't know, she used to irritate me so much, I didn't know who she was,
03:49I am sorry, I don't know whether she is an actor or she is not an actor, I am sorry,
03:54I have not seen her work, and whenever I saw some episodes, I mean, the behavior was,
04:02I mean, it is nothing that I really liked, and well, this is my personal opinion,
04:08I am not speaking for anyone, but because somebody is on a public platform,
04:14you know, I am just saying my thing, then there were some people, you know,
04:19I don't know, last season when the OTT show happened, there were a couple of people,
04:25I don't even know who they are, you know, and there was a time when we did season 1,
04:30you know, the lineup was Ravi Kishan, Rahul Roy, Amit Sah, Drupali Ganguly,
04:36you know, there was a Shiv Thackeray, there was Sajid Khan, there was Pooja Bhatt,
04:41there was, you know, Abhishek Malani, you know, there were people you knew,
04:45you know that, oh, they are good people, so I think if the quality of the contestants
04:50gets better, I think things will be better, we really don't want people who come on the show
04:55just to gain publicity, behave badly, talk nonsense, and the worst thing is that
05:01when they come out of the house, they continue bitching, which I think is very bad,
05:06because what happens is that this is a game, your game is over,
05:11I mean, there was a time when, and they used to all walk out,
05:16and they used to all say fun things, that, you know, it was good, leave it now,
05:20what is happening now is that the contestants are bringing out that aggression,
05:25sometimes I watch some interviews, and I am like, my God, I mean,
05:28these people are so affected by the show that they have forgotten that there is a real life also,
05:34and the more you hold that aggression, it's just going to be toxic for you,
05:39it's not going to be toxic for anybody else, so I think you need to draw the line,
05:43that, okay, when you are on the show, you can do whatever you want,
05:47you can raise whatever issues you want, once you cross that door,
05:53it should always be, and move on, you have to move on in life,
05:58but as I said, there are these funny people who come out, and they keep giving bitchy interviews,
06:03and they keep abusing contestants,
06:13so I just feel, you know, this show is very shallow people, and I don't even know why they come to the show.
06:23Well, I honestly don't know about this, I have seen Ekta's story,
06:28I had no idea who she is speaking about, and if you are telling me that she is talking about Ram,
06:35I don't know, I haven't seen Ram's interview recently,
06:40we worked together in Kasam Sia, and I had a great experience working with Ram,
06:44but I am sure, Ekta speaks when she has to, and when she speaks, she does it on purpose,
06:51so I think you will have to ask her who she is speaking about, I really have no idea.
07:01See, I wasn't in Badi Ache, I mean, I did the show for 2-3 months,
07:07but when you are talking about consummation, I wasn't in that show,
07:12so I really don't know, like I said, I haven't seen Ram's interview,
07:15so I have absolutely no idea, but if you speak to me on a generic basis,
07:20I feel that an actor's job is to act, and that is what the actor should do,
07:27there is a producer, there is a director, there is a creative director,
07:32there is a dialogue writer, there is a story writer,
07:34they know their job, so let them do their job,
07:38and if you have accepted a show with somebody's conviction,
07:45then you need to believe that conviction all through,
07:48then you need to just say that fine, this is how we have done our shows,
07:55this is how I have done my show, like when we were in Balaji,
07:58Ekta used to tell us a story, and we used to buy into the story and say,
08:02oh this is fantastic, and we used to fly with it,
08:05so I think that conviction is very important, and as an actor,
08:09if you have placed your conviction in a producer's hand,
08:12and you have said that okay, I am taking this show, I love the role,
08:15and oh you are so good at it, then believe in the person all through,
08:19I think it's that only, again, this I am speaking as a very lay person,
08:23I don't know anything about this, I have not seen the interview,
08:27and as I said, I am really nobody to speak,
08:30this is just my general point of view, because I don't know exactly
08:34what this controversy is all about.
