A show that was slammed hard by the I&B ministry was Rakhi Sawant's show Rakhi ka Insaaf. Pulled up for its use of obscene language, the final nail in the coffin that took the show to a later slot was Sawant being accused of abetting suicide of a participant of the show.

The Bidaai girl Sara Khan caused quite a huff in the Bigg Boss house. Initially, a girl in love morphed into one who seemed to be desperately vying for Ashmit Patel's affection, to the point she tore up her boyfriend Ali Merchant's photographs. But Ali Merchant came onto the show and popped the question and they had a grand wedding in the house - as grand as it could be. But the controversy began once Sara was voted off the show and it came to light, vis-à-vis her family, that the two had already tied the knot prior to the show.
