‘Mazaak mazaak main hum Bigg Boss ke ghar main aa gaye,” said Raju Srivastava before entering the Bigg Boss house. However, Markand Adhikari of Shri Adhikari Brothers (SAB) isn’t amused a wee bit with this. The SAB TV co-owner has alleged that Srivastava has breached his contract by participating in
Bigg Boss 3.
“Raju had signed a three-year contract for being the brand ambassador of our upcoming channel MASTiii. He’s breached our contract by participating in
Bigg Boss. The contract comes into effect from November 2009 and as per the agreement Raju is required to give us 10 full days every month.
There is a no-exit clause for both parties. He’s breached our contract by taking part in Bigg Boss. We have sent a notice to both Colors and Endemol but it’s been a week and they haven’t replied yet,” said Adhikari.
So are you demanding Srivastava’s ouster from the show?
“At the moment, I’m just waiting for their reply. Raju had a confidentiality clause with Colors and Endemol and so he only informed me two days before going into the house. However, that’s not done. Right now I’m waiting till 30 October to get a response. If I don’t get a response then we’ll have to decide on our future course of action,” replied Adhikari.
When contacted, Raju Srivastava’s manager Piyush Upadhyay claimed to have no idea about this matter.
Despite repeated attempts, officials from Colors and Endemol India remained unavailable for comment.
