Adding a unique twist to this season of Bigg Boss, the show will be featuring senior journalist Deepak Chaurasia, celebrated for his extensive career with multiple news outlets. His presence promises to offer valuable insights and potentially exclusive behind-the-scenes information during his time on the show.
Deepak Chaurasia’s controversies:
A significant moment in his career occurred when he was suddenly taken off the air during a live news broadcast. Reports claimed that Chaurasia appeared to be intoxicated while delivering a report on the death of an army general, prompting his immediate removal from the screen. This incident sparked widespread criticism. Despite this controversy, he continued his career as a news anchor across various networks, although he has been accused of promoting divisive narratives.
Just a year before, in 2023, Chaurasia encountered major legal troubles when a Haryana court issued an arrest warrant against him related to a POCSO ( protection of children from of sexual offences) case from 2013. He allegedly missed a court appearance, justifying his absence by citing an interview with the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
With these controversies enveloping the Bigg Boss contestant, it is going to be interesting how the journalist turned reality star will counter the allegations and wipe his slate clean.
Bigg Boss OTT 3 will be streaming on JioCinema from today, June 21, at 9 PM.
