When you are a celebrity participating in a show like Bigg Boss, you have to be a little more cautious of your words and actions. The show, as we all know is watched by a huge set of people, so the statements made by the contestants, especially by a popular figure have a big impact. Over the past few seasons of Bigg Boss, several contestants have said highly objectionable things on the show. Even host Salman Khan will find a way in this list if we make one. However, it's really TV actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee, who will top this list. Bigg Boss 13 Day 24 Synopsis: The Snakes And Ladder Task Brings The House Down
Devoleena, a contestant on the ongoing thirteenth edition of Bigg Boss went overboard on last night's episode when she said, "main ispe #MeToo ka laga doongi", while talking about co-contestant, Sidharth Shukla during the task. We are not saying that Sidharth is a saint for he lost his cool like never before as soon as the task began. The TV actor started destroying the properties of the task because another contestant, Paras Chhabra tried to sabotage Sidharth's task. Soon things went downhill, where except Shehnaaz Gill and Arti Singh, all the female contestants stood against Sidharth for he started pushing them during the task, which is strictly against the rules of the show.

This is when an angry Devoleena made that statement, which is highly problematic if you think about it. Again, we are not siding with Sidharth as he was wrong for displaying so much anger, but Devoleena could have measured her words too. By saying this, Devoleena has misused a feminist social media movement, which was started to help people out. Unfortunately, Devoleena has made it look like women can take advantage of the #MeToo movement by wrongly accusing their harassers.

While Sidharth's actions were wrong, but Devoleena went a bit far by trying to picture him as a sexual assaulter. The man has anger issues, but it's not confined to gender, we all have seen that by now. Let's just hope someone drills some sense into Devoleena so that she doesn't make such statements again. After all, she is a popular TV actress and every word that she says has an effect.
