Background
In an earlier statement, Sonali Raut had also spoken in detail about the conditions inside the house. "The environment was extremely unhygienic. There were big rats inside the kitchen eating away at the grocery and the same was being used to cook for contestants to feed on...The food that came from Endemol Production during 'Weekend ka War' had cockroaches coming out of the food. As a part of punishment, only one washroom was used for all 17 contestants in which people used to smoke, litter, eat food... chicken, eggshells n dead rats around, as you know men and women are different," she told IANS.
She further alleged shortages of basic necessities during her stay. "There were times I was left starving and didn't have proper food, no proper sleep... Electronic appliances like microwaves, clothes dryers which were there were used from Big Boss Hindi because it had stickers of previous contestants like Amaal, Tanya and Mridul..Appliances were not hygienic and not properly maintained," she had shared.
Raising concerns over privacy, Sonali added, "My Agreement was shared with the fellow contestants which is clearly a breach of trust. I trusted the platform, but my health and well-being were compromised. There needs to be accountability so that no one else suffers like this."
The controversy comes just ahead of the show's finale, which is scheduled to take place on April 19.
