Bigg Boss 13 Contestant Devoleena Bhattcharjee Threatened Sidharth Shukla With A #MeToo Accusation

Bigg Boss 13 Contestant Devoleena Bhattcharjee Threatened Sidharth Shukla With A #MeToo Accusation

It was a usual day at the Bigg Boss house. Curses being sung like songs, insults doled out like its free candy, things flying off here and there, tasks being ruined and contestants getting unraveled. Quite an everyday thing to witness in the mad house that has been Bigg Boss throughout its seasons. So naturally, when another one of those controversies hit the social media today, we weren’t surprised. Not in the beginning at least. But it was when we heard of the mention of #MeToo, that our concerns for it rose.

In another episode of Bigg Boss season 13, the temperature of the house touched the skies, when an argument over a task at the Bigg Boss house turned rather ugly. In a task called ‘snakes and ladders’, the garden area was converted into a live board game. They had to build the tallest ladder, and whoever reached the closest to the 50th block would then be able to swap their place with one of the safe contestants. With the motivation to make themselves safe during the next elimination, the contestants were pretty enthusiastic about it. However, things didn’t take too long to turn from sweet to sour, as arguments brought out the worst in a few. Well, nothing unusual there.

Paras ended up breaking Sidharth Shukla’s ladder, and vice versa. But only if it had ended there. Sidharth running rampant on his temper, in turn broke everyone else’s ladder and also the spirit of the game. What followed was utter chaos and a lot of people losing their calm over the situation that had now gotten out of control. Amidst all of this madness, Devoleena, after having lost her temper and slapping Shehnaaz, was seen getting into a heated argument with Sidharth. That took an ugly turn and she said threatened him to use a #MeToo, in case he were to touch her again.

Now, that was clearly the point, things went from routine to that being of concern in less than a second. You see, it has taken the #MeToo movement months and months of efforts to come to the fore. Today, it has become a dialogue hard for people to escape or turn a blind eye to anymore. So naturally, when Devoleena mentioned it, the first thing that popped in our head was how much truth was there to her statement. Because more often than not, a comment of such gravity only comes after the water has risen well over the head, after repeated instances of misdemeanor.

Apparently, the girls in the house accused Sidharth of being physical with them and that is when Devoleena said, “Main #MeToo ka daal doongi agar ek baar bhi body apni touch ki mere upar”. Rashami also called him “haiwaan.” And honestly, it could very well be a matter of concern. We are not sure what scenes or instances would have been shown or edited out of the one hour footage, but a claim as such should neither be made casually nor taken casually either.

Whatever the case is, we are hoping to find out soon, for the last thing we’d need is to get such behaviour called out and not addressed on national television. And in case, it was a spur of the moment outlash from Devoleena’s side, we hope she understands how tasteless it would be to use the term that callously. Either way, someone or the other is definitely in for a schooling session.
