Bigg Boss 18: Digvijay Singh Rathee gets support from former contestant Manu Punjabi; latter slams makers for targeting him

Digvijay Singh Rathee, who made a powerful debut on Bigg Boss 18 with his impressive performance in tasks and gameplay, has faced criticism from the show's makers. Former Bigg Boss contestant Manu Punjabi has stepped forward to support Digvijay. Despite several allegations that Digvijay instigated and provoked other contestants—claims which many viewers disagree with—he found himself blamed during an altercation with Rajat Dalal and Avinash Mishra, where both the latter contestants became physically violent with him. Digvijay was held accountable, while Rajat and Avinash were let off without consequences. This decision has upset many viewers, who are voicing their disappointment on social media and calling out the makers for their actions.
Recently, Manu Punjabi slammed the makers of Bigg Boss 18 and questioned them for targeting Digvijay. He exposed how the show has been ruining Rathee's game and treated him differently compared to others.
"They are attacking Digvijay's fans directly. Bigg Boss then tried to clarify his point of view. I’m sorry, but it is wrong to target somebody like this. Digvijay is tense. He has already done a couple of reality shows and is being loved by the audience so much that you are talking about his hashtags. Bigg Boss, isn't this wrong? The makers asked Digvijay if he was facing any pressure or if he was tense. Digvijay said that he was fine. Does he have a choice? Can he say, 'Bigg Boss, don't bash me'? Can he ask Bigg Boss not to bash him? Bigg Boss, you have ruined all his logic, friendships, and relationships," he said.
"Bigg Boss, enough of this. What can he do? You needed a wild card contestant," Manu added.
Previously, Digvijay Singh Rathee's fans also expressed their anger toward the makers of Bigg Boss 18 and trended 'STOP BULLYING DIGVIJAY' on the microblogging site X (formerly Twitter).
