A very emotional and shocking twist has emerged this week on the stage of television’s biggest and most talked about reality show ‘Bigg Boss 20’. The journey of India’s legendary boxer, six-time world champion and Olympic medalist MC Mary Kom has ended from the show. This unexpected eviction in the October 24 episode not only shocked the housemates but also made millions of viewers emotional. This week, in the absence of the show’s regular host Salman Khan, Bollywood action director Rohit Shetty took charge of ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’. Rohit Shetty, in his strict and fair style, reviewed the entire week’s game and finally made the official announcement of Mary Kom’s exit from the show.
Mary Kom was the most high-profile and prestigious contestant of this season, whose entry into the house significantly increased the credibility and seriousness of the show. However, when both their lifelines were exhausted due to the strict rules of the game and the nomination process, they had to find a way out based on public votes and game dynamics. As soon as Rohit Shetty announced the news of his ouster, there was silence in the entire house. Especially Amrapali Dubey, the top actress of Bhojpuri cinema and a strong contestant of the show, could not control her tears and started crying bitterly. A deep intimate and emotional relationship had developed inside the house between Amrapali and Mary Kom, which seemed to be disintegrating with this departure.
After coming out of the show, Mary Kom showed her usual sportsmanship and dignity. Instead of expressing any bitterness or disappointment, he expressed deep gratitude towards the Bigg Boss stage and his fellow contestants. In his farewell speech, he said that staying in this challenging house for so long and living with people from a completely different world has been an unforgettable and enriching experience of his life. He expressed hope that the housemates will always remember him and carry forward the lessons he has shared.
Addressing her fellow contestants, Mary Kom said that they all should play with their real personality and strong personality and not wear anyone’s mask. Along with this, she took a cheeky taunt in her boxer style and said that if you guys ever came to the ring as my rivals, I would not have spared any of you. This light and friendly warning brought a smile on everyone’s faces for a moment in the gloomy atmosphere of the house. All the contestants stood up and gave a respectful farewell to this great athlete with applause.
Mary Kom’s journey inside the Bigg Boss house was full of many sweet and sour experiences and big ups and downs. Coming from the sports world, it was not at all easy for him to adapt himself to a reality show full of glamor and controversies. Despite this, he took an active part in the daily household work. His moments spent while cooking in the kitchen area, his morning workout sessions while teaching fitness tips to the youth of the house and his simple talks in the garden area were very much liked by the audience. She proved on many occasions that despite being an international champion, she is a down to earth person.
However, as per the nature of the reality show, she could not remain completely untouched by controversies. Huge dissatisfaction was also seen from the audience outside and on social media regarding some of the comments made by him during the tasks and altercations inside the house. Especially when he took a dig at fellow competitors by referring to his world records, medals and personal sporting achievements in boxing, many people took it as his arrogance. A section of sports fans were hurt that a legendary player should not have showcased his great achievements in the fights of a reality show.
In view of the increasing criticism and negative reactions on social media, Mary Kom’s official PR team had to become active. His team immediately issued a public statement clarifying the situation and also apologized in the spirit of sports. The team spokesperson had said in his clarification that Mary Kom’s words were not at all intended to belittle the hard work and achievements of any other athlete or person. She was only expressing her views under the pressure of debate. After this official clarification, the controversy calmed down, but somewhere it definitely affected the voting pattern.
After Mary Kom’s exit, there is going to be a huge change in the political and social dynamics of ‘Bigg Boss 20’. There is now a possibility of factionalism and acrimony inside the house as the presence of a senior and impartial personality often helped in resolving disputes. This is a big personal blow for Amrapali Dubey, and it remains to be seen how she recovers from this emotional shock and moves forward in the game. On the other hand, this weekend hosted by Rohit Shetty has proved that no one’s journey in the Bigg Boss house is safe, no matter how big a legend he is.
