It`s that time of the season when Colors` `Bigg Boss 16` welcomes the family members of a few housemates to the most coveted house in the country. The master of the house has established that housemates are to `freeze` in their places on command and they must stay unmoved until the `release` command.
In tonight`s episode, the first family member to step inside the house after the first freeze announcement is Vahida Tadavi, contestant MC Stan`s mother. Both the rapper and his mother burst out in tears when they hug after three long months of living apart from each other. She applauds him for showing courage and making everyone proud. The rapper`s on-and-off a rival, Shalin Bhanot apologizes to MC Stan`s mother for abusing her son with joined hands to which she advises that they all must respect each other`s parents. She reveals that when there`s a fight between MC Stan and Archana Gautam, both appear in a bad light to the viewers. She is happy to inform that people admire Shiv Thakare and MC Stan`s friendship. The highlight is when the housemates talk about the rapper`s girlfriend Buba, whom he misses very often in the presence of his mother. It`s endearing to watch the rapper blush and hide behind his mother at the mention of marriage with his girlfriend.
