Throughout my journey with Bigg Boss, before and after being a part of the show, I have consciously avoided commenting on its happenings. But this particular incident has really forced me to break that silence. Having experienced something similar when my daughter’s name was brought up on the show during a certain segment, I know how deeply something like that can affect a parent. You can question someone’s game, disagree with their decisions or have a difference of opinion, but never bring an innocent child into an adult’s fight. Tara is only seven years old and has nothing to do with this game. @MahhiVij_, stay strong. Your strength speaks for itself. Wishing you and @imjaybhanushali nothing but positivity and strength. Play the game, fight your battles, but leave the kids out of it. Certain boundaries should never be crossed inside or outside the Bigg Boss house.
