Akanksha Puri and Jad Hadid Kissing Controversy

In a recent episode that sparked controversy both in the Bigg Boss house and outside, the kiss between Jad Hadid and Akanksha Puri created a big stir. Avinash Sachdev dared Akanksha Puri and Jad Hadid to kiss each other on screen. While the two took the dare sportingly, Salman Khan reprimanded the act and apologised to the audience leading to Puri's eviction from the house. 

Puneet's Quick Exit

Puneet Kumar, also called Puneet Superstar by his fans, created another kind of history by getting evicted within 12 hours of stepping inside the house making it the fastest exit from the show a contestant has ever had. Apart from the various humiliating acts he did, he also smothered toothpaste all over him which was the final nail in the coffin, leading to his exit.  

Aaliya Siddiqui's Controversies

Nawazuddin Siddiqui's former wife Aaliya earlier grabbed headlines when she bravely came forward and shared her alleged domestic abuse experience in the media. She soon entered the Bigg Boss house for its OTT season a fresh start. That didn't seem to go well for her as she was surprisingly evicted from the Bigg Boss house over controversies like using men's washrooms. Aaliya's short stay made a lot of news. 

Avinash Sachdev and Palak Purswani's Sword-Play Squabble

As the show decided to keep two ex-finances as contestants in the same house, we all knew a day would come when the past grudges would boil up into a big dispute. But Avinash Sachdev and Palak Purswani's verbal dispute went nastier than we thought. When Purswani went to Sachdev to resolve their issues, both engaged in verbally thrashing each other with hurtful words, Sachdev said "Have the audacity to listen to you, idiot woman" Purswani responded by calling Sachdev a "gutter mouth" and exclaiming that it's better if they don't talk as Sachdev is impossible to talk to. 

Jad Hadid Lowered His Pants

In a massive fight between contestants Bhumika Dhurve and Jad Hadid, the dispute went over the top when Hadid tried to insult his co-contestant Bhumika Dhurve by lowering his pants and exposing his backside. Bhumika Dhurve broke down from the humiliation and threatened to leave the house, while contestants somehow convinced her to stay calm and not act upon her emotions, the show's host Salman Khan reprimanded the act by questioning Hadid. When asked whether he has ever done such an ill-mannered display of action earlier too, Jad explained he had performed this in a movie. Khan then strictly explained to Jadid how, in India, such acts are not acceptable and are considered humiliating, post which Jad apologised to the audience as well Bhumika.
