Bigg Boss Contestant Threatens Hunger Strike Over Men's Commission
7 Sep
Summary
- Contestant Rahul Easwar demanded Mohanlal's stance on a men's commission.
- Easwar threatened a hunger strike if Mohanlal did not respond.
- He cited high male suicide rates and lack of support for men.
The launch of Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 has been marked by a significant controversy initiated by contestant Rahul Easwar. During his interaction with host Mohanlal, Easwar, an activist, stated his intention to use the platform to advocate for a men's commission.
Easwar directly requested Mohanlal to share his viewpoint on the formation of a men's commission in the upcoming weekend episode. He emphasized that Mohanlal's opinion would carry substantial societal weight. When Mohanlal suggested discussing it within the house, Easwar escalated his demand, threatening a hunger strike if a stance wasn't taken.
Mohanlal responded with a lighthearted remark about the potential benefits of a few days without food. Easwar further justified his cause by citing concerning statistics, noting that a man dies by suicide every four minutes in India, while a woman dies by suicide every 11 minutes. He underscored the lack of public discourse on men's mental health, deeming a men's commission essential.
Despite Mohanlal's attempts to steer the conversation, Easwar reiterated his challenge. As he departed, Easwar confirmed he would await Mohanlal's response in the subsequent weekend show, reinforcing his commitment to men's activism through his participation in the reality series.
