The popular reality show Bigg Boss 16, now airing on Colors TV, has stirred a controversy since the beginning due to the participation of Sajid Khan as a contestant. Since Sajid faced multiple allegations of sexual harassment, many celebrities including Sona Mohapatra, Sherlyn Chopra, Urfi Javed, Neha Bhasin, and Mandana Karimi among others have slammed the makers of Bigg Boss for accepting the MeToo accused as a contestant.
However, now there are speculations that the controversial filmmaker could soon be removed from the show due to the rising pressure and it’s only a matter of time.
According to sources close to Bigg Boss, Sajid may leave within a week and the show’s host Salman Khan, who has significant influence on the show’s content, has reportedly agreed to the request.
