Season 2 of Bigg Boss Agnipariksha kicked off on JioHotstar on August 15 to select ‘commoner’ contestants who will compete with celebrities in the new season. The digital pre-show that streams on JioHotstar every day at 12 AM featured content creator Uppal Balu, who sparked controversy. “I was invited to Agnipariksha and was severely humiliated. They made negative comments about me and criticised me, saying that I make vulgar videos,” claimed Balu on his social media after he wasn’t selected. He specifically questioned one of the judges, actor Navdeep, for saying this.
