Tanishaa Mukerji, who was the first runner-up of Bigg Boss 7, recently shared her reflections on her time in the reality show, calling it a 'traumatic' experience. She admitted to entering the show without fully understanding its dynamics and expressed regret over her naivety. Contestants reportedly used her family names, including her sister Kajol and brother-in-law Ajay Devgn, to gain screen time, which deeply upset her. Tanishaa noted that she often communicated in English, which led to significant portions of her interactions being cut from the show. She consciously avoided discussing sensitive topics to protect her family from backlash, stating that many people were eager to create drama around her family. Tanishaa also recalled feeling hurt when viewers questioned why her famous family members did not visit her in the house, highlighting the commercial nature of the show. Reflecting on her experience, she stated, 'Bigg Boss and these reality shows survive on trauma,' indicating that the bonds formed in such environments are often rooted in shared emotional pain.
