The Involvement of Elvish's Mother in Controversy

The video of him discussing the outside world's response to Bebika's behaviour went viral on social media, leading to controversy. While Elvish later expressed remorse for his actions.
Salman Khan, as the host of Bigg Boss, wields considerable influence over the show's narrative.
In an unexpected turn of events, Elvish's mother also got involved in the Bigg Boss controversy. It appeared that the show's makers strategically brought her into the picture to create a more emotionally charged environment. Such tactics are often employed to provoke reactions from contestants and add spice to the show. However, The question arises whether it is right to involve a contestant's mother in order to emotionally weaken them.
The Maker's Strategy to Hold Elvish Down
The incident with Elvish's mother and the scolding by Salman Khan seemed to be part of a calculated strategy to add drama and emotional intensity to the show. Such tactics are not uncommon in reality TV to boost ratings and viewership. However, they also face backlash from viewers who believe it compromises the contestants' mental well-being.
Language Debate
During a particular episode of Bigg Boss, Elvish Yadav made some controversial statements about certain contestants. When Abhishek tried to explain to Elvish that it was wrong to use such language, Elvish said that this was just how he spoke. He claimed he couldn't go below this level, as it represented his lowest point in terms of communication. It's important to note that he was referring to the way he talks, not the entire Haryanavi language. However, during last weekend's episode, Salman Khan seemed to take a different approach, attempting to portray Elvish as someone who is trying to demean the Haryanavi language, which many viewers found to be misleading and manipulative.
500 Rupees and elvish army
During the episode both Elvish and his fans were criticised by the host. Salman Khan questioned Elvish about his followers, asking if they were giving him 1000 rupees. Elvish replied that his followers support him for free. To make a point, Salman compared it to people paying to see Bollywood actors in movies and suggested that Elvish should ask his fan base to give him 500 rupees to prove their loyalty.
Salman Khan also mentioned that Elvish's fan base shouldn't be called a real "army" and compared it to the Indian army. Salman seemed to use nationalism while comparing the elvish fanbase with the Indian army. However, this comparison doesn't consider that calling fans an "army" is just a way to show their support, similar to how actors take on different roles in movies without actually being those characters.
Opinion
Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 is getting extended, and the main reason is the huge fan base from the YouTube community. However, the show makers are criticizing the YouTube community fan base by comparing the fans' support to just 500 rupees, implying that it is not genuine.
The way they invited Elvish's mom and criticized Elvish raises the question: would they treat Jiya the same way for giving soap water? Or do they have the courage to do the same with Pooja by calling her father and scolding her for her upbringing comments? Of course, they probably won't do it with their Bollywood gang because their main goal is to attract attention from the audience, whether it's through positive or negative means, just to stay in the spotlight.
