Bigg Boss 4: Indian Government welcomes Pamela Anderson with ban on Bigg Boss

Bigg Boss banned. Rahul Bhatt welcomes ban on Bigg Boss,
Bollywood says ban unjustified

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-By Team Futuristic Media Network: Almost all actors and artistes from Bollywood and even down south have regretted the decision of the I&B Ministry of the Government of India banning two television shows – Bigg Boss on Colors and Rakhi ka Insaaf on Imagine. Ali Merchant, who was recently evicted from Bigg Boss said that those who do not want to watch the show can switch off their televisions. Kashmira Shah, Sambhavna Seth and many others said that it was really sad that the Ministry took a decision without consulting the fraternity. Its up to parents to censor their kids, they opined.

The Information and Broadcasting Ministry (IB Ministry) has banned two TV shows – Rakhi Ka Insaaf on Imagine and Bigg Boss, Season 4 on Colors. The Ministry issued the directive after several complaints from viewers alleged that the shows were vulgar and unsuitable for family viewing during peak time. The IB Ministry in a directive has ordered that the above shows can be telecast only between 11 pm and 5 am and any re-runs or re-telecast of these shows can be shown only during this time slot.

Meanwhile former Bigg Boss contestant Rahul Bhatt has welcomed the ban on the Bigg Boss show. Rahul Bhatt went to town claiming that Bigg Boss was rigged and the entire show was scripted based on the TRP acquisition ability of each contestant.
Both Bigg Boss and Rakhi ka Insaaf will have to carry a scroll saying that they are unsuitable for children and parents’ discretion is required. News channels have been banned from carrying excerpts or footage of the two shows, as per the government directive. Both channels said that they will contest the Government’s directive in an appropriate court of law
