Bigg Boss Kannada Host Slams Contestants for Lack of Commitment

On October 12, 2025, the second week of Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 saw a tense confrontation between the contestants and host Kiccha Sudeep. Sudeep delivered a stern warning to the housemates, expressing his disappointment over their lack of seriousness in the game.

The actor-anchor reminded the contestants that Bigg Boss is not meant for unnecessary drama but for genuine participation. In a rare move, Sudeep ordered the main door of the house to be opened, giving the contestants a final opportunity to walk out if they weren't committed to the show. He accused them of creating 'volume content' - loud and meaningless drama - instead of providing genuine entertainment.

Sudeep further criticized several participants for 'playing it safe,' saying they were failing to reveal their real personalities and strengths. He addressed veteran contestant Mallamma, acknowledging her age and experience but pointing out her lack of active participation. The host reiterated his expectations, stating that Bigg Boss is a reality show designed to test mental strength, emotional intelligence, and teamwork, not a comedy platform.

Despite the intense confrontation, Sudeep ended on an encouraging note. Praising the strong audience response to the new season, he urged the contestants to justify viewers' faith and make their mark, emphasizing that the show is about "value, not volume."
