bigg boss galat ho jo nari upman karata hai use support karte hai aur rohan image ka chodo bigg boss aur colour ka to dekho trp chakkar me colour tv doob najaye
Big boss justice is not fair enough. Big boss is supporting the dhongi baba and giving decision on seeing only one instance. When there are many instances where dhongi baba is doing so much wrong things, he is playing with knife, danda and many more. You may ask and see that ex contestants also rejected to live in such house when they have already won previous seasons. I would totally dislike this decision of yours. While previously I have seen your way of talking, handling the situation but this decision on supporting dhongi baba is worst.
Kis Baat ka Big Boss bhai… Ek decision to lene nahi aata… Wo to Salman ka bhala mano ki jagga bahar ho gayi pagal… Warna jane kya kya maje leta big boss. OM aur Jagga ke liye warning sirf , Aur Rohan ke liye nomination aur wo bhi pure Season, Kuchh jyada ni ho gya… , I am sure ki igloo main entry karte wakt agar rohan ko Danger chot lag jata to Big Boss Usko bhi sirf ek Hadsa Mante aur OM ko Warning De Dete bas ya jayada se jyada Jail mai … . Big Boss makers kis Anpad Gawar ko baita Diya Big Boss ke jagah …..
Ghanta ka Big Boss You are Totally wrong . Mujhe to lagta hai ki Big Boss Bhi maje le raha hai. I am sure ki agar Salman Sir jagga ko bahar ni kartein to Big Boss Uska Bhi maje le raha Hota ….. Ghatia Show Ever. I saw this show because of Salman Sir only..
Is nakli baba ko nikalne ki jaroorat haai aur baki sab thik ho jayega yahi ek aisa banda hai jo bigboss me aane k layak nahi hai…..wo sochta hai woh sabko entertain kar raha hai par andar koi use batao k bhar sab galiyaan d rahe hai…. sala swami k nam pe kalank hai… a6a hua salman sir use om bulate hai……….
Hi Big Boss 10 Team,
Greetings!!
It seems like Swami Om is pressuring team big boss and unfortunately big boss is unable to take the right decision in subject to Swami Om. The whole nation is aware that decision taken by big boss yesterday was unfair against Rohan Mehra. If bb team further have any doubts, they can do R&D of social networking sites how BB is slammed for his incorrect decision except Priyanka Jagga eviction. What is so good with Swami Om?? Is that what he is being accused with IPC for robbery of bicycles from his own brother godown..or blackmailing women and what not..!!
I am with Rohan Mehra..not only me…but many celebrities are with Rohan Mehra against Big Boss decision. At the end i would say ” Mein Big Boss 10 ki decision ki kade shabdo mein Ninda karta hu..””
Hope you understand and do something to help going the show into Nightmare.
now this show must not to see any more.We request to Mr Salman Khan not to host any more.If you host in future please see the contestant first.Swami Omm is the person non sense to not see any more. thanks
Big boss.. I dont think you are caring the contestants equally..according to your requirements of daily footage your changing rules,thinking etc. Throughout “OM” bcoz he dont deserve to be called as human. He is wild animal who always thinks other will distroy/kill him. He is senseless person I had ever seen
hey big boss,,it doesnot mean that if Rojan donot speak much ,then you make him victim all the time..the language or activities of Baba ,,do you think its nice,,,its really unfair bigboss…You have to be fair and you cannot just take unfair decision…
Hello bigB, I’m very disappointed by omji he is d person who created bulgrty & very dirty man. And all they r playing very well apart from this man. And plz I’m supposed to kick them out from bigB house. Thanks
I m very ashame due to recent task given in bigboss house a tofan task where swami om ji is cheating and no action is taken against him.
On seeing yesterdays precap, biggest mistake is done by om ji but punishment is given to rohan
I request u to remove om ji from bigboss house
Kindly accept my request
Hamare ghr m cable connection nahi h…..phir bhi m bb10 k saare episode Mobile p dekhta hu………..pr aaj ka episode dekhne k baad soch raha hu ki na dekhu to hi accha h……time to kharab nhi hoga………..jb swami om saare rules break karta h….or uski wajah se rohan ko hath or sir m chot aati h…..tb big boss ke rules kha jaate h….or aaj jb rohan ne ye push kiya to rules yaad aa gaye big boss ko……this is not unfair about big boss side for rohan mehra
Big boss we Don’t want Swami Om in the house. AND….. Swami Om entertaining nahi balki bemaar dikte hai.
This time bigboss are wrong rohan done very well job i agree with him om swami get him tightly slaped rohan only push him big boss take correct decision otherwise many more audience never show this show again nd manu nd manveer are fake person both of ud only done own job ..
I am heartist fan of BigBoss but after seing today episode (29th nov) ,I think action should have taken for OM for bb10 on 28 dec episode OM tries to hurt Rohan in toofan task and no ””””””””””””””********”””””””””””””””’NINDA happens””’**********************************””””” for OM but now for rohan feel very bad he very innocent in bb10. Rohan is deserving candidate in bb10 .he plays very fair since the 1st day without abusing anyone include OM . I think i need to quit watching BB10.
thankyou
I think ye ek Mahal horaya he
Rules follow Karne walo ko saza AUR
Rules torne walo ko Wawa
Not fair
Bigg boss ha ha ha. ..apne agr ghr mein rules bnaye h to sb ke liye do yr bewakoofi ki hd h.rohan ke saath hamesha galat kiya h. Sb se pehle manu nd manveer ko saja do hr wkt bs dusron ka mazak… Disgusting aise show mein kaun aayega apni izzat dhulwane bne
Big boss ka decision wrong hai rohan k liye ….rohan is right …..har bar big boss right nai ho sakta hai…
Bigg boss is very unfair….the only reason why bigboss ignored the yesterday about swami om pushing rohan is that because swami om threathen big boss of filing case…
And also threathen that he will see rohan outside of bigboss house
Second reason is that …..swami om brings so called TRP to the show but rohan doesnt did such shameful stuffs like swami om to bring so called TRP….thats rohan is nominated for whole season..Lastly now it seems like that whole show is scripted Big boss show has failed the country and from next time it is not worthy of watching
Big boss has copied the show from hollywood but fail to make it fair …
There was a time when i love the season 8 due to gautam only but this time I hate tis season due to swami om and big boss’s unfairness
Manu and manveer playing sit game.
