With Pooja Misrra, the soul of Bigg Boss 5, out of the House for an alleged assault on co-contestant Siddharth Bhardwaj, one wonders if the shocking development will hamper the TRPs of India’s biggest reality show on Colors.
Pooja Missra, who was considered to be the best entertainer of this year’s season, was apparently removed (‘aapko nishkasit karte hai’ – as Bigg Boss would say) for physically pushing Siddharth Bhardwaj on the show. Siddharth, who is the winner of an earlier reality show Splitsvilla, is reported to have blown the situation out of proportion and demanded her exit, after which Bigg Boss decided to show Pooja the door.
One of the many rules to be followed strictly by all the contestants is to never attack anyone physically. Pooja Misrra, the rebel of the house and the House Captain for the week, was surrounded by controversies galore right from day one on Bigg Boss.
