‘Gave them three times my salary, tried to oust me from Bigg Boss when expected content was not obtained’

Bigg Boss is the most popular television show in Malayalam. There are indications now that the seventh season of Bigg Boss is coming. The probable list of contestants for the next season is also being discussed on social media. Meanwhile, the words of Akhil Marar, director and winner of the fifth season of Bigg Boss, are gaining attention. The doubts that Akhil mentioned on the salary received by the contestants have come to light. He clarified these things in an interview granted to a YouTube channel.

'I came to Bigg Boss at a time when I was a director and active in channel discussions. Many people knew me. The price for such a person like me from Bigg Boss is? Three times more was paid to those lower than my profile. I know exactly how much the other people were paid. A panel of seven selects the contestants. This is an allegation. If examined the bank statements they received, more things will become clear,' said Akhil Marar.

Some of the things Akhil Marar said about the sixth season of Bigg Boss had turned controversial. Akhil also explained the reason for expelling another contestant, Sibin, from the Bigg Boss. ‘The audience made me Akhil Marar seen today. A big channel paved the way for that. The mistakes that some people have been doing for a long time came out from my mouth. What I said about season six was controversial. There is no manipulation in the voting of the contestants in season six.

In that, contestant Sibin was not eliminated because he did not get votes. He is the one who received the most votes. Sibin was invited to Bigg Boss for various reasons. I was invited because I make controversial statements in channel discussions and social media and because I am a male chauvinist. I have not spoken against any women. I oppose the actions of people. I do not consider politics or gender in it. They didn't get the content they expected from me in Bigg Boss. So, they tried to oust me, but it didn't work. It was the same with Sibin.

The people who controlled Bigg Boss till season five were not in season six. Aren't the hosts still playing with the lives of those who want to come on the show? It has been said that many people compromise to get a chance on Bigg Boss. Many have told me about it. They have no complaints. Contestants who come on Bigg Boss generally don't come with the permission of their family, added Akhil.
