Adapted from the global reality franchise Big Brother, the Hindi edition of Bigg Boss has evolved into a nationwide cultural phenomenon over two decades of high-octane drama, unscripted emotions, and intense rivalry.

Any one can stop bani English language
Ye India h London nahe
Wese to ham itna jor dalte h sab pr ki India m Hindi bolo but kya big boss ka ye work nahe h ki bani ko samjhaye
Bani bhut jada abuse language bhe use krte h
I don’t like to her
Agar swami om ghatiya hai to bani to aur zyada ghatiya hai….every time she is using fxxx word and look at her cheap attitude…har waqt English pe baat kar rahi hai….why is big boss and salman not objecting bani for using the fxxx word and using English so many times….kya baat hai big boss and salman….seems u both hv soft corner for her…kichu zyada hi pasand hai apko…that is why she is not even said a word by salman or big boss for using fxxx word so many times…
Super I like what you say even me I don’t like om and vani
Bani stay calm and don’t take sh*t give jagga and om back what all they did. shame on u bagga and manveer. manveer u were my fav but i guess u r dumb and blind.love u celebs and trust me common ppl are not like these shi**y guys like priyanka and om.
India ka sabse BHANGAR GHATIYA SHOW BIGBOSS HAI….
TV SHOW AUR MOVIE LOG ENTERTAIMENT KE LIYE DEKH TE HAI. NA KI LADAI ZAGDE KO LIYE..
CH********PA SHOW BIGBOSS
Rohan, i promise you, all your fans are gonna spit into an empty pool, and Lopa and Bani can push Priyanka ( the worst human being to be true, coz seriously i dont know what she is teaching her sons) into the pool! Rohan, Lopa, Bani, stay strong. Priyanka is the worst person ever to live.
Are bhai salman ko bol rahe ho uske wajah se to show dekhte hain tum ban jao na host or omm baht acha lagta hai na lagta hai tum bhi usi k jaise ho. Manveer or baani baht acha kar rahe ho lage raho bani best of luck one man army
M request u bigg boss plz priyanka ko ghr se bhar nikalo she’s not deserving
Mr. Debang is correct in saying that in everybody there is some part of swami om and opportunity given we all behave some way like swami om. And Salman don’t forget how many mistakes you have done in life and how many times you have said sorry. Then why do are you squeezing and thrashing swami om for the game he is playing? And not saying anything to bani who is every time and so many times using the fxxx word…is that not so much cheap??
Why salman is so furious about swami om? Why is he not saying to bani? Just because she is a girl that is why she can keep using abusive words….this is not fair….big boss show is now most boring and bogus show…
Please throw bani and swami om out of this house…bani uses abusive words and swami om uses abusive statements…both are equally guilty….both are bogus….please kick them out….
Who is salman to say anything to swami on? Salman himself has done so many wrong deeds in his life. Who is salman to give so much of gyan to house mates in big boss??? Please change the host….it is high time….
Agree! Look like salman driving eviction. He favour good looking girl in every season. And throw out who protest. He makes unnecessary big issue of gaurav’s mistake. And humiliated also…..why he favour lopa most mean girl…and rohan ? Like puppy of lopa….wht he is doing in house…gaurav, bani and manveer shld be in last finalist…
Manu, priyanka, om, lopa, rahul, rohan, looks negative nitibha ? Don’t know what will happen to her next…
Please take out Om out of this show, Ghar ki ladies k saamne peeshab kar raha hai, logo ko bura bht bura bol raha hai, I don’t understand why you people are still keeping him in this show. Just TRP is not everything, whole family watchs this show. Even small children Om ka bahot hi ganda message jaa raha hai baccho per. Uss ke jaisa besharam insaan aaj tak nahi dekha life me, I appeal to everyone please stop watching this show until Om is not thrown out of the house.
Sorry to say but after watching today’s Bigg Boss 10 episode it looks like it is getting dirty because of the commoners, specially the idiot old man called omm. First the Bigg Boss Crew should have admitted him to the K.G. class including his so called stupid daughter jagga to teach them both how to talk with people and than made them the contestants of Bigg Boss, they both are brainless commoners. I don’t understand why no one is saying anything to them even thought they both talk rudely about other contestant’s parents.
Mujhe ye smjh ni aata ki big boss bani ko unke itna english bolne par kyu nhi tokte…bani s3 accha to ye angrez aaya hai jo bani se jyada hindi bolta hai…is problem ka koi ilaaz dundho yaar…
This has become the most vulgar, the cheapest and the most faltu show on TV.
The language used by bani is very cheap…do something about it please…swami is reckless and please it is time now to change the host….salman is so boring…same style…same jokes….bogus….
Would you pl tell me why Rahul is still there ? What is his role ? What the F… is he doing there ?
I could not understand why Rahul is still in BB House ! What is his role there other than ‘Kana-Pina’. Whenever I watch the show and see Rahul – he reminds me a pure ‘homeless’ guy – don’t want to work, not participating in any activities, always in a corner of the room or in bed – even claiming himself as ‘privileged’ group member. He should kicked out of the BB House as quick as possible.
I am so disappointed from your show, I am regularly watching bigg boss but this it is so irritating, totally waste of time. Specially for this 3 house mate – Stupid Swami, Priyanka & Bani. Kindly do something, whole Nation watch your show, we give our time to see some good thing not all this stupid things which happens in Rodies & Splitvila. I hope you guys will not disappoint public
M regular follower of big boss everybody is doing good except rohan n rahul dev wt thy r doing in big boss house yr sone k liye aaye hai ghr sone ni milta tha wel Om who u r main kis jungle se laye isko ..
…….m big fan of manveer n bani hope u stay in big boss house till end
.
swami kaaa ab bohat ho gaya nikalo usko kisi ke baaare me ku6 bhi boll raha he ch@@@@@ :/
