Reality TV¡¯s favorite YouTuber, Abhishek Malhan, is back in the spotlight, and this time, it¡¯s not for surviving a house full of cameras¡ªit¡¯s for calling them out. The Bigg Boss OTT 2 finalist, now the face of Game of Greed on Jio Hotstar, isn¡¯t holding back when it comes to the ¡°manipulative¡± nature of the show that made him famous. And let¡¯s just say, his thoughts on Salman Khan¡¯s exit are just as entertaining as his content.
While talking to Telly Talk India, Zoom, Abhishek, who predicted that YouTuber Rajat Dalal wouldn¡¯t take home the Bigg Boss 18 trophy, finally broke his silence on the allegations that the show is scripted. He dismissed the rumors but threw in a major curveball. ¡°The show isn¡¯t scripted, but let¡¯s be real¡ªit¡¯s highly manipulated,¡± he said. According to him, the makers have all the power to decide who wins. Fans can stay up all night voting, but if the production house has already picked their champ, it¡¯s game over.
Remember when Abhishek¡¯s video accusing the show of using YouTubers for views went viral? Well, he¡¯s doubling down. He believes that if a content creator like Rajat Dalal or Digvijay Rathee had won, traditional TV stars would have stopped signing up for the show. ¡°They kept Rajat in the game as long as they needed him,¡± he pointed out. The ultimate goal? To crown a TV face¡ªKaran Veer Mehra¡ªas the winner. According to Abhishek, Bigg Boss has lost its relevance, and he isn¡¯t interested in revisiting the drama.
If Salman Khan leaving Bigg Boss shook the internet, Abhishek¡¯s reaction is pure gold. ¡°I¡¯m heading straight to his house to convince him that Bigg Boss isn¡¯t Bigg Boss without him,¡± he joked. But in all seriousness, with Bollywood¡¯s biggest name stepping down, could this mean the beginning of the end for the show?
With all this tea spilled, one thing¡¯s for sure¡ªAbhishek Malhan doesn¡¯t shy away from the truth. And in a world of reality TV, that¡¯s as rare as an unscripted moment on Bigg Boss.
