BANNED! Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 10 to SUFFER because of Indo-Pak tensions?

Salman Khan's Bigg Boss 10 will NOT air in Pakistan....

Everyone’s aware about the heated scenario raging across the borders right now. Blame it on the Uri attacks, India has imposed a stringent ban on Pakistani artists working in India and similarly, even Pakistan has stated they won’t air Indian content any more. The differences are only getting uglier with every passing day. While up till now all eyes were only on Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Shah Rukh Khan’ Raees considering both the films feature two prominent Pakistani actors – Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan respectively. We now hear Pakistan has further refused to air Salman Khan’s upcoming show Bigg Boss 10. That’s right! 

Previously Pakistani channels were allowed to air six percent Indian content during 24-hour transmission cycle but now television channels, FM radio stations and cable operators are strictly asked to stop airing Indian content and follow the new policy which suggests that Salman Khan’s much-awaited reality show ‘Bigg Boss 10′ might not be aired there. Not to mention, PEMRA too has further recommended that permission to air Indian content in Pakistan should be linked with the Indian government’s decision to allow Pakistani content on Indian channels.

We wonder what repercussions will Bigg Boss 10 have to face considering it’s going to lose out on such a huge chunk of viewership. I mean, this cross border war is not only ruining the cultural relationships but is also spreading severe losses at both ends. But this had to happen one day given that Zee’s Channel Zindagi which used to air Pakistani content too has now replaced the Pakistani shows with new Indian shows.
To be hosted by Salman Khan, Bigg Boss 10 is all set to go air on the October 16, this year. Will it face more issues ahead of the premiere episode? In fact, it’s strange how despite Salman’s pro-Pakistan remarks, his show is being targeted under the ban across the border. Nevertheless, what are your thoughts about Bigg Boss 10 getting banned in Pakistan? Tell us in the comments below and we’ll be back with more updates right here.
