Bigg Boss' Bigg Bias: Why Sumbul Touqeer's father, Sajid Khan should be declared joint winners of the show

At this point, the creatives behind Bigg Boss (who should now be called lobbyists given their attempts to support a chosen few) might as well call Sumbul’s father as a wildcard. Gone are the days when contestants in Bigg Boss used to wait for family week to meet their loved ones. Sumbul Touqeer Khan is now getting the opportunity of interacting with her father in the comfort of the house via call. Not only is this highly unfair to other contestants but also violates the original Big Brother format which is based on captive reality and forbids outside world to influence the equations in the house. But in Bigg Boss 16, the equations are not just being influenced, they are being manufactured, even created out of thin air. Not that ardent Bigg Boss fans who have followed the show despite the deteriorating quality aren’t able to see through this charade. The attempts to falsify truths are blatant and obvious. The feedback on social media and the outrage is also loud. And perhaps for the first time, multiple past winners are calling out Bigg Boss for interfering too much in the house and playing favourites with one of them calling the show ‘Bigg Loss’.
