Since the inception of Bigg Boss 16, one contestant who is constantly grabbing headlines is filmmaker Sajid Khan. At first, there was an uproar on social media for giving a #MeToo accused person such a big platform and after that, there began several campaigns for his elimination from the show. Khan’s recent spat with co-contestant Gautam Vig has become the talk of the town.
During the ‘Saam, Daam, Dand’ task, host Salman Khan gave Vig a choice to become the captain of the house by sacrificing the house’s ration. The latter accepted the offer and got the whole house against him. In particular, Sajid fought with Gautam and called him “selfish” for his decision. “You are doing all of this to be safe in the house, ab tu mera krodh dekhega (you’ll now witness my anger),” Sajid stated. The two then got involved in an ugly spat. Sajid showed his middle finger to Gautam and kept on abusing him. Gautam, on the other hand, did not react much but asked Sajid to not use foul language for him.
As soon as this footage went on air, many celebs started putting forward their views on the entire situation. Former Bigg Boss contestants, Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Vishal Kotian slammed Sajid for his behaviour.
“Well for a sec even I thought it was a selfish decision by #GautamVig. But it is still ok. And he has all the right to do whatever he feels within his limits. But wondering why abusing #Gautam and his mother by #Sajid is not even questioned. It was filthy & cheap. @BiggBoss #bb16,” tweeted Devoleena.
Vishal penned, “#SajidKhan can’t act anymore and is the real monster coming out?? The way he abused #GautamVij is completely disgusting. Disrespecting someone’s parents is disrespecting ur own. I would have broken his face.”
After the entire fiasco, when Bigg Boss sent pizza for Sajid, netizens lost their cool. They felt that the makers are biased towards the Housefull director. They also started trending #EvictSajidKhan on Twitter. One user wrote, “Disgusting,” a social media user wrote. “Why is he a part of the show? Ugly,” penned another. “Sajid literally said “kutta ka baccha” and abused him #GautamVig twice throw #SajidKhan out of the house he’s disgusting,” wrote a third person.
“Sajid khan was giving full on Maa-Behan ki gaaliya to gautam. Kha kha ke gol gappa ho gya hai mota phir bhi sabse jyada issi ko chahiye. Disgusting person of the next level. Thanks to #GautamVig for exposing this wild animal,” read a tweet.
“I’m done with this show. Jo Sajid itna gali de tha h finger dikha rha h usko bashed krne k bjaye pizza de rhe h Bigg Boss,” asserted an angry viewer. ”
Till now, Sajid Khan came across as a nice and genuine guy as he shared a good rapport with almost everyone inside the house. People who were watching the show from outside also lauded the director for how well-behaved he is. But seems like his true colours are unfolding with the progression of the show.
