Apparently, what happens in the Bigg Boss house doesn't merely stay inside. In fact, two former co-contestants from the popular reality show's last installment have taken their in-house quarrels to another level. As it happened, singer Deepak Thakur posted an online video allegedly insulting his former co-participant Jasleen Matharu, who has now filed a police complaint over the matter. Here is more.
