'Bigg Boss Kannada 12' under fire for assault, caste bias claims

Entertainment Nov 21, 2025

Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 is facing serious backlash after a social activist filed a complaint accusing the show of caste discrimination and physical assault.
Host Kiccha Sudeep is alleged to have made disrespectful remarks toward contestant Rakshita, while contestant Rashika is accused of assaulting another contestant and Ashwini Gowda is accused of using derogatory language about caste.

What's happening next?

The Karnataka State Women's Commission is now looking into the complaint.
These allegations have sparked fresh questions about how contestants treat each other on reality TV.
Sudeep hasn't responded yet—he's just wrapped up shooting for his film Mark, which releases this December.
