Kiccha Sudeepa hosted 'Bigg Boss Kannada 8' goes off-air due to COVID-19 pandemic, contestants sent back home

In the wake of rising COVID-19 cases, the makers of Bigg Boss Kannada season 8 has decided to pull the plug on the show. The reality show hosted by Kiccha Sudeepa is all set to go off the air with eight contestants still in the competition. The channel airing Bigg Boss Kannada 8 took to their social media pages and released a statement regarding the same. The statement is penned by Colours Kannada Business head Parameshwar Gundkal.

It read as "It’s been 71 days since Bigg Boss Season 8 started. Many mixed emotions come to my mind at a time when I stand by the PCR and watch the 11 contestants walking around the house. Everyone inside the house is happy, as they don’t know the difficulties and challenges faced by people outside. They are also safe by being in isolation. We are calling all of them outside tomorrow after informing everyone of the current developments outside. Arrangements are then made to send them and the team home safely."

Gundkal added, "Hundreds of days of work. Hundreds of people working in a team. The dream of a team that worked diligently will be halted halfway. It was a difficult decision but a peaceful decision with a heavy heart."
