MUMBAI: Bigg Boss 14 is currently on air and the entertaining episodes have kept the viewers hooked to the television screens.
The show has been making headlines for a number of reasons. From budding romances to heated arguments, surprise evictions and repeated entries and exits – this season has seen it all! One thing that has become a talking point off late is the discussions revolving around two of the strongest contestants this season – Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla. Do they have an added advantage in the house by virtue of being a couple? Or is it a disadvantage because it hampers their individual game? In a recent episode, when last year’s winner, Sidharth Shukla said, “Rubina and Abhinav have an unspoken advantage in the show,” he unwittingly started a fierce debate on social media. In an interview with Times Of India, some of the former contestants shared their opinion on the same. Read on.
Bigg Boss 1’s Kashmera Shah: This is what I had also said earlier because this is not a couple’s show. You have already given an advantage to someone because they will never nominate each other. Right from the beginning, other contestants are at a lesser advantage because of having a couple together in the same season. If that’s the case, then six couples should be sent in together to make sure that it is a fair game. Rubina and Abhinav keep saying that they don’t have any advantage; I don’t know why they keep denying that! The main idea of the game is to nominate somebody and they will never nominate each other. I don’t think that 'Bigg Boss' as a show is unfair, but sending a couple inside doesn't seem right.
Bigg Boss 7’s Kamya Panjabi: I had tweeted about this very thing since I feel this is an advantage for Rubina and Abhinav, and that it’s unfair to the contestants playing solo. I feel there are more advantages than disadvantages of living together in the BB house. With the kind of place that it is and the things that happen there, it is nice to have additional security and assurance of at least one person. You know that they will support you no matter what happens. This support is a big thing in the house. I have been there and I know how difficult it is to trust anyone because you don’t know who may turn against you at any point in the game. One disadvantage that they have is when they fight with each other. They get conscious on national television and worry about how people will perceive it. I feel playing this game solo is easier than playing it with a person whom you have to consider at every point.

Bigg Boss 3’s Vindu Dara Singh: They definitely have an advantage – both husband and wife are there to support each other in the show. I feel if you can trust someone blindly there, it is a huge advantage. Season 14 is very different from other seasons because I remember in our season, there was a couple Tannaz and Bakhtiyaar Irani, and towards the finale, we thought it was necessary to remove one partner from the house, so that it would be equal for the rest of us. Strangely, in this season, nobody cares much about it and they’re not even trying to break them! It looks like both will reach the finale and I feel both deserve to be there. They mentioned that they were thinking of going their separate ways before coming on the show, so to be a part of it and be in the public eye is a brave step from their end. There are pros and cons of them being together on the show, but I don’t think that will affect who the winner will be this season.
