In a mid-week eviction on Bigg Boss 17, content creator Anurag Dobhal, aka UK Rider 07, had to leave the show. The housemates collectively named him for elimination, bringing a rather bumpy journey of Anurag to an end. Talking to Indianexpress.com Anurag shared how unhappy he has been with the show’s makers. “I am happy that people understood my pattern. I had never watched Bigg Boss, so I was not sure what to do there. I was not trying to be pitch-perfect, I tried showing the real Anurag since it is a reality show. I went low when Salman sir said things about the ‘Bro Sena’, it was an emotional setback for me,” he said in an interview after being evicted.

Anurag also added, “Bigg Boss told me that my family refused to come on the show. You know half information can be dangerous. This coming from the makers destroyed me mentally, I was constantly thinking about why my parents didn’t want to come. Later, it was revealed that my family had never been reached out to in that capacity.”

Commenting on his nemesis on the show, Munawar Faruqui, Anurag said, “Munawar was my enemy from day one, I did not like his ideologies or what he had done before coming on the show. I know what kind of a man Munawar is. He is a ‘darinda’ who plays with emotions. First, he used Nazila, then when Ayesha came, he forgot about Nazila. After Salman Sir’s feedback, his statement changed again.”

“Munawar has used every girl in the house for his game,” Anurag added, sharing how this season on Bigg Boss was all about showing off Instagram followers and not personalities. He said no contestant on the show has an opinion of their own, it all changes with Salman’s feedback every week.

Anurag claimed he was treated unfairly on the show. “17 seasons are down I am the first contestant to go against Bigg Boss or Salman Khan, to raise my voice against the format. I took a stand for Ayesha. It takes guts to tell the host something, you cannot even respond in front of Salman Khan. They have not shown the things I have said, people told me my sections were muted in the live feed. In the entire season, I was only given one activity, while others they wanted to prop up were given opportunities to do stand-up or dances. I have done a walk of shame in that house after being accused of disrespecting the platform.”

He also added, “Everyone has been given positive feedback, their families have been called. I was the only contestant who was bashed throughout. I had a dream to see my mom on national television, but the makers knew this, so they conspired to get me evicted.”
