Falaq Naaz, a former Bigg Boss contestant, has voiced her concerns regarding the conduct of contestants in the current season of Bigg Boss 19, particularly their use of personal attacks and abusive language. Naaz, who appeared on Bigg Boss OTT 2, expressed her disappointment on social media, suggesting the show should be renamed "Gandi Zubaan" (dirty language) due to the prevalence of offensive remarks.
Naaz criticized the contestants for prioritizing the use of "worst language" over focusing on the actual game. She highlighted instances where contestants made derogatory comments about each other. For example, she pointed out Nehal's comments about Ashnoor and Amaal's remarks toward Mridul and Abhishek. Naaz observed a competition among housemates to see who could use the "dirtiest language".
Several other former Bigg Boss contestants and viewers have also expressed concerns about the negative behavior exhibited by some participants. Amaal Mallik, in particular, has faced backlash for his foul language and rude behavior towards other housemates, including abusing Abhishek Bajaj and making derogatory comments about his father. Gauahar Khan also criticized Mallik's language. In one instance, Mallik called Bajaj "bail buddhi ki aulad". He also referred to Bajaj using a derogatory term for transgender people.
Adding to the controversies, a recent episode saw Salman Khan scolding Kunickaa Sadanand for her role in instigating a fight between Abhishek Bajaj and Amaal Mallik during a task. Khan also called out Ashnoor Kaur for demanding to see footage of the incident. Furthermore, Khan reprimanded Mridul Tiwari for his inactivity in the game, though he also praised Tiwari's character and values.
The intensity of the conflicts has led to verbal clashes between contestants. In a recent episode, Tanya Mittal and Farhana Bhat engaged in a heated argument, with Tanya commenting on Farhana's "mental condition" and Farhana mocking Tanya. The aggressive behavior of certain contestants has not been well-received by viewers, with some being labeled as the "most annoying contestants of the season". Farhana's aggressive return from the secret room and Baseer Ali's harsh language have been singled out as examples of negative behavior. Tanya's manipulative strategies and Abhishek Bajaj's aggressive tone have also drawn criticism.
Despite the criticism, Bigg Boss 19 continues to generate headlines with its constant fights and rivalries. The show's producers have been accused of copyright infringement for using music without authorization. The alleged infringement involves a demand for ₹2 crore in damages and license fees.
The show also sees some contestants finding connections with each other. Zeishan Qadri and Tanya Mittal were recently seen discussing Amaal Mallik's impulsive nature. Tanya revealed that Amaal reminds her of her ex-boyfriend. Amaal Mallik has also spoken about his past relationships and how they have inspired his music.
Falaq Naaz's criticism reflects a growing sentiment among viewers that the current season of Bigg Boss has crossed a line with its excessive personal attacks and abusive language. Whether the contestants will heed these concerns and modify their behavior remains to be seen.
