In the last few days, there has been a large-scale debate over the alleged invitation extended to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to the closing ceremony of the television reality show Bigg Boss. Though opinion has been divided, more people are opposed to the chief minister visiting an 'entertainment' programme. There have been unconfirmed reports that the CM has agreed to be part of the show during its finale at the end of this month. However, all the reports and the ranting seem to be baseless. Sources in the channel say that the CM was never invited to the show at all, let alone him having agreed to attending it.
Sources said that the CM was invited to the launch of another serial in the film that took place in the Central College auditorium close to Vidhana Soudha. He was never invited for Bigg Boss. The show is shot on location near Pune in Maharashtra and it would require the CM to take a day off, which is impossible according to the source. There was a miscommunication that he is attending Bigg Boss and this has led to all the fuzz.
Bigg Boss is reaching its climax and with less than two weeks left has continued to garner good ratings. It has become one of the most popular reality/game shows on Kannada television.
