Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Aryan faces criticism for backing out of task; Netizens and housemates slam his choice of words
Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 witnessed a storm after contestant Aryan refused a task involving shaving his head, citing religious and personal reasons. His refusal, deemed as prioritizing "glamour" over team points, sparked outrage among housemates. Aryan's controversial comparison involving Gizele further fueled the fire, drawing criticism for inappropriate remarks. Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 continues to intensify with high-stakes tasks and emotional confrontations. In the latest episode, it was contestant Aryan who found himself at the centre of controversy, both inside the house and across social media, after he refused to complete a crucial task, citing personal reasons and making comments that did not sit well with housemates or viewers. As part of a new task segment, housemates were asked to vote for three contestants they believed were the 'bravest' in the house, those who would accept any challenge without hesitation. Aneesh, Aryan, and Gizele emerged as the selected trio, and were sent to the activity area to complete a challenge that could earn the house 1000 points. Once inside, the trio discovered three podiums, each with a demand card. Aneesh picked a card that required him to stay completely mute for the rest of the season. Without hesitation, Aneesh followed the instruction, even before Bigg Boss officially started the task. Aryan picked a card that asked him to drink a juice in one gulp and Gizele's card required her to shave her head completely. Things escalated quickly when Gizele requested Aryan to swap tasks with her. Aryan refused, stating that shaving his head was against his religious and sentimental beliefs. He also added that it would affect his "glamour" and was not worth just 1000 points. His refusal sparked outrage among the housemates, many of whom questioned his commitment and the validity of his reasons. Aryan then made a controversial statement, asking Abhilash if he would have asked Gizele to strip had that been the task, a remark that was instantly slammed by several contestants as inappropriate and unnecessary. Only Shanavas and Akbar were seen defending Aryan, while the rest expressed disappointment. The task ended with the trio deciding to forfeit the 1000 points, leading Bigg Boss to sarcastically comment on their so-called bravery. 'What happened to your brave choices?' Bigg Boss asked, prompting an embarrassed response from the housemates, who admitted they had become 'cowards.' Outside the house, social media too erupted with mixed reactions. While a section of viewers appreciated Aryan for standing his ground, a large majority criticized his reasoning and, more notably, his comparison and choice of words.
