Why
Is
The
Payment
Of
Evicted
Contestants
Is
Delayed?
The
website's
sources
(close
to
the
actors),
revealed
,
"The
channel
will
not
make
payments
for
at
least
another
week
as
Colors
is
facing
a
huge
cash
crunch
due
to
default
on
payments
by
sponsors
and
advertisers.
And
stuck
between
the
big
corporates
are
the
commoners
Bigg
Boss
contestants,
who
cannot
even
enjoy
their
new-found
fame
and
stardom."
Evicted
Contestants
Upset!
On
condition
of
anonymity,
at
least
three
evicted
Bigg
Boss
11
contestants
confided
to
India.com
that
their
payments
have
been
delayed
by
the
channel.
Bigg
Boss
Has
Changed
Their
Lives
Completely
One
of
the
contestants
spoke
to
the
website
strictly
off
the
record
(as
the
contestants
didn't
want
to
antagonise
the
channel
and
the
production
house),
"After
eviction
from
Bigg
Boss
our
lives
have
changed
completely."
The
Evicted
Contestants
Find
Difficult
To
Maintain
The
Status!
"Gone
are
the
days
when
we
could
safely
travel
by
public
transport
like
local
trains
and
BEST
buses
in
Mumbai,
now
we
have
to
travel
only
by
cabs
to
maintain
the
status
and
our
lifestyles.
We
have
to
spend
on
various
additional
stuff
after
our
stint
on
the
reality
show,
which
has
doubled
our
daily
expenses."

Says…
Gehana
Vasisth,
who
was
in
news
for
various
controversial
statements
regarding
Bigg
Boss
contestant
(especially
Arshi
Khan)
and
was
also
in
limelight
regarding
her
entry
on
the
show,
was
quoted
by
the
website
as
saying,
"At
least
two
contestants
have
been
openly
complaining
about
this
discriminatory
treatment
by
the
channel
and
production
house
vis-a-vis
contestants."
Gehana
Adds…
"They
were
used
by
the
channel
as
extras
to
prop
up
the
show
while
the
winners
were
fixed.
Now
the
channel
is
delaying
the
payment
to
the
extras
and
some
other
contestants."
An
Evicted
Contestant
Says…
Another
evicted
contestant
told,
"The
channel
should
have
paid
us
so
that
we
can
spend
on
all
this
stuff.
Post
eviction,
contestants
get
invited
by
media
persons
for
press
interviews
and
similar
media-related
events."
Contestants
Have
To
Spend
Huge
Amount
Of
Garments
&
Transportations!
"I
have
spent
Rs
10,000/-
on
cab
fare
in
the
last
3
weeks
after
my
eviction.
The
channel
wanted
us
to
get
our
own
garments
for
the
finale.
Such
garments
cost
a
fortune.
How
does
the
channel
expect
us
to
pay
from
our
own
pockets
for
such
expenses?"
The
Channel
Provided
Garments
To
Finalists
And
Not
Others!
Regarding
the
payment,
the
contestant
said,
"the
contestant
further
said,
"They
won't
even
give
us
a
fixed
date
for
the
disbursement
of
payment.
If
they
had
initially
given
me
a
fixed
date,
I
could
have
made
adjustments,
but
the
production
people
just
kept
saying
next
week,
next
week,
and
so
on."
They
provided
garments
to
celebrities
(who
could
afford
the
expenses)
for
the
finale,
but
commoners
were
asked
to
get
their
own
outfits!
Why
Such
Differentiation,
Asks
A
Contestant!
The
contestant
asks,
"Why
are
the
channel
and
the
production
house
differentiating
between
the
commoners
and
celebs,
when
it
comes
to
providing
outfits."
