Popular reality show Bigg Boss 16 introduces a unique segment which is led by none other than Shekhar Suman. Titled as `BIGG Bulletin With Shekhar Suman`, the segment features the seasoned actor bringing his brand of wit and sarcasm to it as he unmasks the contestants and presents them with their report card of the week. Who will pass with flying colours and who will fail abysmally will be interesting to watch.
Apart from this addition, this season cracks another first with `Interactive India`, a segment through which the housemates engage with viewers directly. In today’s episode, one of the viewers asks, `Why are you all treating Abdu (Rozik) like he`s a kid?` Reacting to the question, Abdu says that he`s 19, kids are not allowed on the show, and he can speak for himself. `Bigg Boss` premeditatedly asks Shiv Thakare to name a person who has always treated Abdu like a kid. The master`s line of thought behind this deliberate query is worth watching tonight. Speaking for many contestants in the house, a viewer questions Ankit Gupta on his lack of involvement in the house and opines that it seems he`s on a holiday. `Bigg Boss` seeks everyone`s opinion on this observation. Upon learning that most of the housemates agree with the viewer`s assessment, `Bigg Boss` assigns Ankit`s close friend, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary the task of ensuring that he speaks a thousand words every day. Ankit`s defence to this contention is that he doesn`t speak until he knows enough about the issues in question.
