‘Bigg Boss’ Blocked By Cable Operators In Mumbai  Salman Khan |
Since last Wednesday, the show is not getting telecast in Mumbai, though private DTH operators have not agreed on this. However, it has come as great news for the Shiv Sena party.
Anil Parab, Sena leader confirms the news and says, “The blackout began in Mumbai from Wednesday and will spread to rest of the state by Thursday.”
Even a spokesperson for Colors channel confirms the decision and said, “We have blocked Colors in response to the call given by the Sena chief. The channel will not be shown by us in Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai.”
The Shiv Sena party has been fiercely protesting against the presence of Pakistani participants and they even protested in front of the Lonavala Bungalow where the show is being shot.
The Pune district administration has also asked Colors channel to verify the visa papers of the two Pakistani actors. The channel said all their papers were in perfect order.
Satisfied with the action of the cable operators, a spokesperson from Shiv Sena says, “Mumbai and Thane together constitute the biggest TRPs for the show. It’s a plan that the Sena thinks will yield desirable results. The channel may pull out the two (Pakistani) actors if the blackout continues.”
