Former Bigg Boss housemates Veena Malek and Ashmit Patel maintain that their reality show was not scripted, but it was "creatively edited".
"The Bigg Boss projects you in a way they want to … You are not told what to do," said Patel, adding that the fights were real ones. The duo was in Dubai last weekend to usher in 2012. The reality show is notorious for cat-fights, petty arguments and tumultuous affairs among inmates.
"For instance, they showed me having a rollicking affair with Veena. When you have 50 cameras on you, you are not stupid enough to do anything on national television," added Patel, who appeared in the fourth season of Bigg Boss. Though the pair admits that the show opened new doors of opportunity, they were not avid watchers of it.
"I have not seen Bigg Boss episodes — not even seen my own season. I am not a big fan of TV or cinema," said Malek who courted fame and furore when she posed topless for a magazine cover in India.
