Just when one felt that the Bigg Boss season 12 lacked controversies and drama, Thursday night’s episode provided everything that was missing up until now on the popular reality show. Thursday night saw two female contestants physically assaulting each other and a fight erupting on social media between both the supporters and critics of Dipika Kakar.
It all started with the captaincy task between Saba Khan and Srishty Rode. The task soon took an ugly turn as both of them began to indulge in pushing and shoving. This culminated in Saba pushing Srishty with unexpected force, leading the latter to fall a few feet away.
Anticipating the potential consequences of the fight, the Bigg Boss soon intervened and decided to abruptly end the game. Dipika Kakar, who was the sanchalak (moderator) of the game, was asked to give the accurate decription of what happened. In her deposition, Dipika blamed both Saba and Srishty for the fiasco, prompting the Bigg Boss to disqualify both the contestants whiule also barring them from fighting for captaincy for as long as they remained in the house.
Dipika blaming both Saba and Srishty did not go down well with Sreesanth and Anup Jalota, who are watching the shenanigans of the main house from what’s known as outer house.
The development also dominated the conversations on social media, particular on Twitter, where Dipika trended for hours. Fans appeared divided as they debated the Thursday night’s development. One user, Seldish Kruti, wrote, “What a snake #DipikaKakar is! After everything she told #KaranvirBohra “Shrishty ki galti thi.”. Karan disagreed within a second! Why does Dipika lie about her own teammates always? Totally fake! Nehha tries to keep them together!”
There were others, who too slammed Dipika, but an overwhelming majority felt that it was unfair to blame her since she wasn’t looking at Saba and Srishty when the fight broke out between them. While posting the screenshot of the moment when the fight broke out, one user wrote, “This is called heights of partiality. @BiggBoss have some shame! How could you? Dipika wasn’t even facing them when Saba pushed Sristhy with extreme force & she fell down on the floor. It was on another level, yet you sought Dipika’s narration for judgement.”

On Wednesday, Dipika’s husband Shoaib Ibrahim had defended his wife through a long post on Instagram. He had written. “”Everybody knows that staying away from the family is a tough thing and that too without any communication, and people do understand this thing. Its difficult, not just for dipi but for anyone who has ever been or will be in such a circumstance that they have to stay away from their family without any communication(not even a single text). They are bound to get emotional and its a vey strong trait.
“But however when it comes to dipi few are saying she is faking it and crying for no reason…why?? Just because she is an actor. So if a person cares for someone, helps someone, is being good to someone and also playing the game with dignity without hurting anyones sentiments and emotions, not abusing anyone ..people say, that the person is acting or its just that she is an actor so she must be acting…..Do actors don’t have emotions?”
