Bigg Boss: From Racism to Indecent Exposure, 5 Times Contestants Would've Been Sued for Inappropriate Behaviour if They Were in Real World (Watch Video)
In the past, many acts of the contestants, over the seasons, were overlooked, whereas in real life, there would have been a legal proceeding. We are counting down 5 of the worst moments on Bigg Boss which might take one to the court, if replicated outside TV.
Rakhi Sawant tore Rahul Mahajan's dhoti on TV in the reality show, Bigg Boss 14. The housemates took major offence over the act. But let us admit, this won't be the first time when the makers of the show allowed the contestants to go a bit too far. There needs to be some onus on the showrunners to produce and show better content on national TV. Rakhi's same act in the real-life might have fetched legal case against her. But in the house, she might walk away scot-free. This won' be a first either.
