Last
year,
throughout
Bigg
Boss
Season
5,
megastar
host
Salman
Khan
was
blamed
for
recommending
and
then
being
biased
and
partial
to
his
so-called
‘friend'
Mahek
Chahal
on
the
reality
show.
Though
Mahek
and
Salman
repeatedly
denied
the
allegations,
the
media
seemed
to
be
in
no
mood
to
agree.
Strangely,
one
by
one,
all
Wild
Card
entries
including
Akashdeep
Sky
Saigal,
Siddharth
Bhardwaj
and
Amar
Upadhyay,
plus
ousted
contestants
like
Shakti
Kapoor,
Vida
Samadzai,
Pooja
Mishra
and
Pooja
Bedi
started
speaking
openly
to
the
media
about
Salman's
partiality
towards
Mahek.
Ultimately,
the
poor
girl
lost
credibility,
making
her
an
unlikely
contender
to
win
the
finals.
Now
with
the
launch
of
Bigg
Boss
6,
it
seems
the
controversies
claiming
Salman's
bias
towards
his
so-called
'friends'
is
making
a
comeback.
An
article
in
Daily
Bhaskar
has
alleged
that
Salman
has
recommended
and
is
favouring
contestant
Niketan
Madhok
in
Bigg
Boss
6.
The
article
states,
"This
year
it
is
model
Niketan
Madhok,
who
is
part
of
Salman
Khan's
inner
circle...
Niketan
is
the
second
recommendation
of
Salman
as
the
superstar
and
host
of
the
show
had
put
a
word
for
model/actor
Mahek
Chahal
too
last
year."
When
we
asked
Bollywood
PR
guru
Dale
Bhagwagar
about
what
impact
such
allegations
could
have
on
the
show's
image
and
credibility
this
time,
he
rubbished
the
rumours.
"Both
the
cases
are
totally
different," he
quipped.
"Mahek
was
said
to
have
rubbed
people
the
wrong
way
before
she
went
on
the
show,"
he
remarked,
admitting
that
she
was
even
brash
with
him
over
the
phone
just
a
day
before
entering
Bigg
Boss.
The
PR
specialist
was
quick
to
add,
"Niketan
seems
to
be
a
pleasant
guy.
Moreover,
Salman
Khan
is
a
very
nice
human
being
and
in
all
these
years,
I
have
never
heard
any
industry
person
deny
that."
"Maybe,
someone
has
an
axe
to
grind
with
Salman
and
that
is
why
such
frivolous
allegations
are
put
up
against
him," Dale
added.
We
hope
this
new
rumour
dies
down
quickly.
Otherwise,
we
might
just
witness
a
Mahek
Chahal
Part
2.
