According to the TRP charts and audience opinion, Big Boss Season 14 was the worst season in the history of Big Boss. The makers of the show tried quite everything to save the ship from sinking, but apparently nothing could revive the show.
The show kick started in October 2020 with the senior contestants of the show including Siddharth Shukla, Hina Khan and Gauahar Khan as the mentors. Many strong contestants, including Eizaj Khan, Jasmin and Rahul Vaidya were overpowered by the presence of senior contestants and couldn’t add much of their ‘raw elements’ to the show.
Although the show witnessed a lot of controversies and ugly spats between the contestants. The immunity task was given to the contestants in hopes of driving some buzz to the show. In the immunity task, many contestants came forwards and confessed their deepest and darkest secrets in front of the cameras.
Rubina Dilaik, the winner of BB14, revealed her divorce with Abhinav Shukla, who was her co-contestant on the same show. Eijaz Khan revealed his dark secret of childhood and confessed that he was molested as a child. Despite all the efforts by the contestants, the task could not create the ‘buzz’ like the previous seasons of Big Boss.
From ‘forced arguments’ to ‘re-uniting the love couples’, nothing could work in favour of the show. The makers, after trying all the tips and tricks to save the show from sinking, played the last card and brought the previous season’s contestants on board as ‘challengers’. The makers introduced ‘six challengers’ in the show, including Arshi Khan, Vikas Gupta, Manu Punjabi, Rahul Mahajan, Kashmera Shah and the ace entertainer Rakhi Sawant.
Wild card entries became a popular sight during BB14. Most of the contestants, including Rahul Vaidya, Arshi Khan, Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Kavita Kaushik were seen re-entering the show for various reasons.
A saga of controversies and drama concluded on February 21, 2021, which was the show’s finale. The audience of the show called season 14 ‘rigged’ as Rubina Dilaik was declared to be the winner. The audience also alleged that Colors TV has again been partial towards a ‘ColorsTv face’.
The Shakti: Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, lead actress, Rubina Dilaik was called the non-deserving winner of Season 14. Rubina Dilaik undoubtedly came out as the reigning queen during season 14, but in the eyes of netizens, Rahul Vaidya would have been a more deserving winner.
Brushing off all the allegations, the lead actress of Shakti: Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, Rubina Dilaik, asked the audience “Do you guys think it is possible for the makers to rig a reality show? It’s a reality show guys, the results entirely depend on the public. It is what it is.” During her Instagram live after winning the trophy.
The most controversial reality show of television, Big Boss is all set to make a storming comeback with Season 16 on October 1. The promo of BB16 has already been released, according to the reports, BB16 might be the most controversial season in the history of Big Boss. Brace yourselves!
