The new season of the reality show Bigg Boss premiered on October 6, 2024. While the behavior of the contestants and the overall activities inside the house has already created headlines, the show has now landed itself in minor trouble.
During the premiere episode, host Salman Khan revealed that a donkey named Gadhraj would remain inside the house, adding that the animal is also a contestant. However, the inclusion of the donkey was not liked by PETA India and they have now sent a letter to Salman, addressing their concern.

Shaurya Agrawal, a representative of the organization, requested Salman to speak to the show’s producers and “avoid using animals as props for entertainment.”
The letter even stated that the donkey should be sent to PETA India so that it can live among other rescued animals. The complaint specifically addressed how the donkey was being kept inside the house in a small space.
