JE Entertainment Desk: 'Bigg Boss OTT 2' is no longer a family show, especially after the latest liplock between contestants, Jad Hadid and Akanksha Puri.

Soon after the clip went viral online, the duo faced wrath of social media users for crossing the line on the popular reality show. Not only the contestants, but the makers of 'Bigg Boss OTT 2' were also slammed by the netizens, stating that the show is no longer a ‘family show’.

Now, a day after the infamous kiss, 'Bigg Boss OTT Season 1' winner Divya Agarwal expressed displeasure with the same. In a conversation with OTT Play, she said, “When I heard about it, I thought it was a mere peck or maybe it just happened at that moment. Or maybe they were having an affair. At the same time, I won’t completely blame the contestants. Even the channel is equally involved when it comes to making the society see what is happening.”
“There are kids and adults who are watching 'Bigg Boss OTT'. The makers of the show could have possibly blurred it or even muted it or done something about it. If they are OK to show it because it’s an OTT platform, then, I really don’t know what was going on in their head,” she further noted.
Divya asserted, “Usually, we see such things in web shows and almost everywhere. As far as the contestants go, I would have supported it if it was a genuine feeling or an affair or if they (Jad Hadid and Akanksha Puri) had feelings for each other or they must have developed. A few days ago, I saw Akanksha was not comfortable with Jad’s touch and she was very vocal about it. I was so happy because she took that stand.”
It is pertinent to note that Salman Khan had said during the media meet, “Main OTT par bhi aise kuch hone nahi dunga jo humare khilaf aur humare culture ke khilaf ho. Main nahi hone dunga” (I will not allow anything against our culture on the show).” Reacting to the same, she said, “When in the history of ‘Bigg Boss’ that the host or the contestant had decided something and it will go the way they want!”
