It has been three months since the housemates of Colors `Bigg Boss 16` have been away from their families. Over the weekend they were surprised when they saw their family members walking into the house. `Bigg Boss` announces that at regular intervals he will command housemates to ‘freeze’ and after which they must stay unmoved until he orders `release`.
Turns out, Tina Datta`s mother in her excitement, had a bit of a goof-up. A source reveals, "Tina`s mother entered the house and mistakenly hugged Sreejita instead of Tina from behind, thinking she is her daughter. However, Sreejita gets emotional. Later, her mother realised her folly and looked out for Tina who was in the garden area. Later Bigg Boss released Sreejita from `freeze mode,` who went to the garden area to meet Tina`s mom. Sreejita later said Tina`s mother hugged her coldly."
