Bigg Boss 4 scripted to boost ratings

All the controversies, fights and romances on Bigg Boss 4 are scripted and pre-planned, reveals Rahul Bhatt, the latest contestant to be ejected from the popular reality show.

Rahul, son of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, says the public voted him out of the show being aired on Colours channel because he failed to provide any entertainment.

Bigg Boss is the Indian version of international reality show Big Brother. It has a select few celebrities locked up inside an isolated house, without any connection with the outside world and their daily activities are tracked through cameras. Rahul doesn't mince words when he claimed that almost everything on the show is scripted.

"Of course it is all scripted! It is all for TRPs (Television Rating Points). Drama, fights and romance is all that the audience wants to see... and that's all that the channel wants to show. In my opinion, some of those who are doing a nautanki [performance] on the show are thoroughly briefed," he said.
