Bigg Boss 18: PETA Urges Salman Khan To Convince Makers Not To Use Animals After They Lock Up A Donkey Inside House

Bollywood superstar and “Bigg Boss 18” host Salman Khan has been requested by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to convince the makers of the controversial reality show to not use animals.

A letter issued by PETA India addressed to Salman with the subject “Urgent Request to Keep Animals Out of Bigg Boss”, read that there are complaints over the “keeping of a donkey in the Bigg Boss house.”

The letter read, “We are being inundated with complaints by members of the public who are deeply distressed over the keeping of a donkey in the Bigg Boss house. Their concerns are valid and must not be ignored.”

“As one of India’s most influential stars and the host of Bigg Boss, you have the power to set a compassionate example. We respectfully ask that you use this influence to urge the show’s producers to avoid using animals as props for entertainment.”

The letter mentioned that it would not only “prevent stress to the animals and upset to viewers” but also “set a powerful precedent”.

“We also urge you to encourage Advocate Gunaratna Sadavarte, who has reportedly brought Max into the house, to surrender the donkey to PETA India to rehome in a sanctuary with other rescued donkeys. Such a move would surely win Advocate Sadavarte fans,” he said.

The letter firmly mentioned that using an animal on the show set is no “laughing matter.”

“As prey animals, donkeys are naturally nervous. They, and other animals, would find the lights, sounds and clamor that is standard on all show sets confusing and frightening. That a show set is no place for an animal is obvious to viewers who are saddened to see the donkey kept in a small, confined space standing in waste.” ‘Moreover, donkeys are social animals, whose wellbeing is best ensured by permitting them to be part of a herd. Just as we humans live in family groups, so do donkeys.”

The letter further read, “It is reported Advocate Sadavarte keeps the donkey for research regarding milk. But donkeys produce milk strictly for their foals.”

The statement concluded with, “Please take the steps suggested in this letter to show that Bigg Boss recognizes animals deserve our compassion and respect.”

Alice Kaushik ‘Cuddles’ Avinash Mishra As They Share A Bed, Viral Photo Leaves Bigg Boss 18 Fans Divided

Alice Kaushik 'Cuddles' Avinash Mishra As They Share A Bed, Viral Photo Leaves Bigg Boss 18 Fans Divided

Bigg Boss 18 contestants Alice Kaushik and Avinash Mishra have sparked a heated debate online after a photo showed them sharing a bed and cuddling. While the two actors have maintained that they share a close friendship, their recent cozy moment has left fans divided, with some defending their bond and others questioning the boundaries of friendship. For those unversed, Alice is dating her Pandya Store co-star Kanwar Dhillon.

In the photo, which has now circulated widely on social media, Alice and Avinash are seen lying in bed together, with Alice resting comfortably in Avinash’s arms under a blanket.

Netizens react to Alice and Avinash’s viral photo

Some fans viewed the moment as harmless and said that platonic cuddling shouldn’t be criticised. However, a section of netizens tagged the official social media account of Kanwar and asked if this is normal. They pointed out that since Alice has a committed relationship outside the Bigg Boss house, the cuddle might be inappropriate given her personal commitments.

“We are not in their boots, they are matured adults . Let them decide for their own,” a user commented.

“At a moment cuddle is ok..but in night sharing a bed and cuddling like this …when someone is married…i don’t know how his partner can’t have problem in this,” wrote another user.

Another user wrote, “He even kissed her stomach a few days ago. It would’ve been totally okay if both were single but with Alice having marriage plans outside and Avinash hitting on Eisha, this is weird.”

Alice has been in a relationship with Kanwar since several years. The actress, in one of the initial episodes of the show, had revealed how Kanwar proposed to her for marriage. However, Kanwar, in a few interviews outside the show denied this statement of the actress and stated that he did not propose her for marriage but said that she is the kind of girl one would get married to.

This statement of Kanwar was revealed to Alice in one of the Weekend Ka Vaar episodes of the show by host Salman Khan, which led to the actress breaking down.

Reacting to it, Kanwar told ETimes, “Woh duniya ka kaam hai, tawa garam tha aur roti sekhne aa gaye. They just commented watching the promo and did not understand what I was trying to say. Those who have a doubt can call me and ask. I don’t think I need to clarify to those whom I do not know. When things are good, people don’t come to ask right? So what’s the point of poking their nose when something else happens? I know what I was saying, so I do not want to waste my energy in explaining.”
