Former Bigg Boss 9 contestant Kishwer Merchant recently set off a social media storm by calling the current season, Bigg Boss 19, “boring.” Her candid remark on X (formerly Twitter) triggered a flurry of responses from fans defending the latest season, claiming it is far more engaging than the one she participated in.
Kishwer’s Bold Statement
Kishwer shared a post saying:
“The most boring season of Bigboss !! #bigboss19 #yawn”
While she didn’t mince words, her comment was not well received, as many fans quickly pointed out that Bigg Boss 9, the season in which Kishwer appeared, is often remembered as one of the weaker installments in the show’s history.
Fans Hit Back
Responses to Kishwer’s tweet ranged from humorous to critical:
- One fan wrote: “But much Better than your season !!”
- Another added: “Kishwer i really like you, but cmon you were in season 9 which goes down as the worst season of history.”
- Some fans even questioned whether Kishwer was watching the same episodes, asking: “Aap wahi dekh rehi ho na jau hum dekh rahen hain (Are you watching what we are watching)?”
The reactions highlight how invested audiences are in comparing past and present seasons, and how social media amplifies debates over reality TV entertainment.
Kishwer Merchant: Career Snapshot
Kishwer Merchant is a well-known TV actor with a career spanning shows like:
- Hip Hip Hurray
- Ek Hasina Thi
- Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan
In Bigg Boss 9, she entered with then-boyfriend Suyyash Rai and walked out during the Ticket to Finale task, choosing to leave the show with Rs 15 lakh instead of competing further.
Reality TV Fans vs Former Stars
Kishwer’s comment underscores a larger cultural debate: nostalgia versus the present. While past contestants may perceive newer seasons differently, fan engagement today is more intense, and social media allows viewers to voice opinions in real time. The backlash also illustrates how former participants are scrutinized against the very seasons they once dominated, making any critique a potential lightning rod.
Whether Bigg Boss 19 is truly “boring” or just more dynamic than Season 9, one thing is clear: the conversation around reality TV keeps evolving, and stars must tread carefully when commenting publicly.
