The curtains are pulling down in Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12. The excitement has reached fever pitch with 24 hours in until the grand finale. But fans following up on their housemates' every movement have been surprised: The 24/7 Live Feed has been officially disconnected.
End of 108 Days of Non-Stop Entertainment
For 108 days for that reason alone, JioHotstar’s live stream was the lifeblood of entertainment for the diehard fan community. It allowed viewers to see all strategies, arguments and playful moments in real time. But one controversy recently flared in the show -- the decision to cancel the live broadcast, coming at a key pivot in the drama, especially considering the show is currently nearing its final stretch and there are just six contestants left online.
What stopped the Live Feed from airing?
The organizers have not published an official announcement concerning the suspension, but insiders and fans say it is a strategic measure to cut off leaks. Since the finale segments and winner announcements are kept tightly guarded secrets, pausing the live feed keeps the suspense intact for the mega-broadcast set for Saturday and Sunday.
In the spirit of Emotional Reconciliation: Gilli and Ashwini
While the finale is tense, the house had a touching experience recently, during a “Fire Camp” activity in the garden. The contestants were invited to consider moments they didn’t like in the season. Gilli Nata made use of the opportunity to apologize sincerely to Ashwini Gowda. “I lost my temper and addressed you disrespectfully (using ‘Hoge-Bare’) during our heated arguments,” Gilli said.
“Looking back now, I feel terrible. You're older than me, I shouldn't have crossed that line. I am so sorry for the pain, you feel so much hurt....”. A Lesson learned: Ashwini’s response. Ashwini thanked the apology gracefully, and the moment was one of mutual respect. She thanked Gilli for showing her a valuable lesson.
From you, I have learnt for the first time that life does not have to be taken so seriously.You showed me that I could take things lightly and experience life in the moment. I have now to thank you on this board for doing this,” she replied.
The Final Countdown
Now, the six finalists are relaxed and expectant in their approach to the two days grand finale. In the absence of the live feed, the only way to know who is raising the BBK 12 trophy is to tune in to the televised episodes of the weekend.
