Bigg Boss 17 is going to start from this weekend. Salman Khan is back with his popular show, which this time has couples, singles and some digital content creators in the mix. Bigg Boss 17 is coming right after Bigg Boss OTT 2 and people feel the break between the two is very little. Some pics of Salman Khan, Ankita Lokhande-Vicky Jain are doing the rounds on social media. In between, one shocking snippet is coming to the fore. It seems one cell phone will be allowed inside. This is unprecedented in the history of Bigg Boss. Netizens have reacted with shock and disbelief.

Was phone ever allowed on Bigg Boss?

While rival fans have claimed to seen phones on the house, it has never been allowed. This news has come as a shock. Loyal fans feel the original DNA of the show is being tampered with. We have had Salman Khan patching up contestants with Caller of the Week or AVs with family members. That was the maximum. People feel only contestants who come in with more closeness to the makers will get such added advantage. Take a look at some of the reactions...

So basically to lure them into the show bb bowing down to the contestants wishes because some potential contestants have said they cannot survive a day without their phones . So obvious this is scripted and winner is predetermined.
