In an explosive exclusive interview, former Bigg Boss 19 contestant Baseer Ali has launched startling accusations against the show's host Salman Khan and the production team, alleging a complete lack of guidance and support during crucial Weekend Ka Vaar episodes.
The Unaddressed Concerns
Baseer Ali revealed that several sensitive incidents involving his sexuality were completely overlooked by the show's authorities. "Malti's remarks on my sexuality or Praneet's joke were never addressed properly during the Weekend Ka Vaar sessions," the contestant disclosed, expressing his deep disappointment with how these matters were handled.
Missing Guidance from Superstar Host
The reality TV star specifically called out Salman Khan, claiming the superstar host failed to provide the necessary mentorship and direction that contestants typically rely on during the high-pressure Weekend Ka Vaar segments. "There was a clear absence of the guidance that we as contestants desperately needed," Baseer emphasized.
Production Team Under Fire
Beyond targeting the host, Baseer didn't spare the show's makers either. He accused the production team of neglecting their responsibility to address sensitive topics and create a supportive environment for contestants facing personal attacks or inappropriate comments.
Broader Implications for Reality TV
This revelation raises serious questions about the duty of care that reality shows owe their participants, especially when dealing with personal and sensitive subjects like sexuality and identity. Baseer's statements highlight potential gaps in the support system provided to contestants navigating the challenging Bigg Boss environment.
The controversy comes at a time when reality television is increasingly being scrutinized for its ethical responsibilities toward participants' mental health and personal dignity.
