Apurva Agnihotri says Bigg Boss is scripted, reveals contestants took ‘psychiatric help’ after the show ended

However, Apurva disagreed with Shilpa’s explanation and said, “It is scripted. The channel knows who will react and how. And that’s why people have started predicting in recent seasons. And the makers at the end, kind of forcefully have to turn tables and surprise all with the winner name. We saw it in the recent season too else everyone would have said, ‘She (hinting at Priyanka Chahar Choudhary) is channel face so she became the winner’. So the show is scripted to a certain extent.”

For the unversed, Priyanka was one of the most favourite contestants on Bigg Boss 16 and many predicted that she would win the show. However, MC Stan was declared the winner and Priyanka was declared as the second runner-up.

Speaking about the effect the show had on the contestants, Apurva said, “I had the feeling that whatever name, fame and respect you have earned in your life, it can be washed away in a snap. And it has happened with people. I know many friends who, after the show, went through severe depression and took psychiatric help.”
