Well, a week has passed in Bigg Boss 14 and one of the main highlights of this season is the presence of ‘seniors’ --- Sidharth Shukla, Hina Khan and Gauahar Khan in the house. All three were extremely popular during their respective seasons, and along with viewers, many former contestants are also watching the trio’s ruling over contestants on the reality show.
In an interview with Shehnaaz Gill, one of the most popular contestants of ‘Bigg Boss 13’, whose love for Sidharth was one of the highlights of the last edition. Talking about her views on the ongoing season of ‘Bigg Boss’, she says, “I am following the season, and I feel that everyone’s true colours will be revealed eventually. No matter how hard you try to act all sweet and nice, ‘Bigg Boss’ will bring out the real you. Tumhari asli personality baahar nikalva hi deta hai. The show tests you and your patience. The current contestants don’t have a point of view and are too reliant on the seniors. While the presence of seniors helps establish an immediate connect with the audience, the drawback is that the freshers aren’t playing their own game. Competition nahi hai.”
Punjab's Katrina Kaif , Shehnaz further added, “Hamaare season mein pehle week se lekar end tak jo bhi raha hai, sab apna best dekar gaye hain. I don’t see that drive in any of the current contestants. Kuchh karna hi nahi chahte just because seniors hain. In fact, they are being remote controlled by the seniors,” she says.
Many viewers have opined that ‘Bigg Boss 14’ is like an extension of the previous edition, as Sidharth continues to be in focus. Point this out and Shehnaz says, “‘Bigg Boss’ must have got these seniors for a reason. Sidharth Shukla is the TRP king. Show thoda chal raha hai usko daalne se. I am certain that a lot of people watch it because of him. Having said that, it’s a double-edged sword. The freshers have not been able to make a place for themselves. They are saying, ‘Seniors jab jaayenge tab hi khelenge’. If I were a part of this season as a fresher, I wouldn’t follow a senior blindly. I have a mind of my own aur main sab danke ki chot par karoongi. My advice to the current contestants is, khud ka vajood rakho, lado, bhido ek dum sher ki tarah. Kisi ke aage peeche poonch ban kar mat raho. Apna game khelo without being selfish. Apna stand toh har koi le leta hai, but doosro ka stand lena seekho.”

“I am saying, fake dikhao but kuchh toh dikhaao. Kuchh dikh hi nahi raha. I am watching the show because of Sidharth Shukla. I won’t watch it after he exits. Jitni der woh ghar mein hai, dekhungi, baad mein nahi dekhungi,” Shehnaz replies on asking about is there anyone she finds fake?
The Punjabi Girl is all praise for her friend, Sidharth, and his game on the show. “He is playing really well. Achha lag raha hai aur uski comedy achhi lag rahi hai. He is flirting with girls, but in a healthy way. A lot of people are judging his conduct outside the house, but I know him well and can vouch that his intention is pure. He can’t help it if the girls are fawning over him (smiles). At the end of the day, he has to talk to someone inside the house,” she ends.
