Vulgarity in Bigg Boss
House
The third season of the reality show Bigg Boss 3, hosted by iconic film star Amitabh Bachchan, has landed in trouble with the Information and Broadcasting Ministry on Monday sending a notice to Colors channel for "offending good taste" and for the use of vulgar language. COLORS' reality show Bigg Boss which saw its first bout of violence coming from Kamal Rashid Khan last week has stooped to a new low this week, with the obscene semi-nude footage of Raju Srivastav that was aired across all channels over the weekend. The Information and Broadcasting ministry has sent a show cause notice to the producers of the show after housemates Aditi Gowitrikar and Tanaaz Irani pulled down the shorts of co-contestant Raju Srivastav during the pool side party organized over the weekend in the Bigg Boss house. However, the scene in question was not aired in the Sunday's episode which showed the contestants enjoying the pool side party.
