After the housemates bid adieu to their fellow contestant and friend Saurabh Patel on Sunday's episode, Bigg Boss changed the dynamics of the game. TV actor Rohit Suchanti and Bigg Boss Marathi winner Megha Dadhe made a flashy entry in the house. Wildcard contestants Megha Dhade and Rohit Suchanti have upped the entertainment quotient with their entry in the Bigg Boss 12 house. The housemates welcomed the wild cards with mixed emotions.
While Megha was seen interacting with the contestants and encouraging them to stand for their right and position. Sreesanth, Karanvir and Deepika Kakar were seen throwing shade at Rohit Suchanti.Â
In Monday’s episode, Karanvir Bohra was heard telling Srishty Rode and Shivashish Mishra that Rohit “swings both ways.â€
Later, Sreesanth was seen making fun of Rohit for wearing “purple†shorts. He said, "Let me ask him once why he is wearing purple. I just want to ask if purple is the new black.
In a shocking turn of events, Sreesanth stooped down to imitating the wild card entry’s style of walking, hinting to add a feminine touch to it.
Dipika Kakar, who was actively participating in the conversation, was seen giggling at the distasteful joke.
Watching this, Karanvir’s wife Teejay Sidhu has raised an eyebrow on her husband’s behaviour and said, "Everyone in #BiggBoss is a known face now - is this how role models behave?†Teejay also lashed out at the housemates for being too judgemental, small-minded and nasty. Here’s her tweet:
Disappointed with the #BiggBoss housemates aftr yesterday's episode. How small-minded & nasty to make fun of someone's sexuality, whether it's thru words, gestures, mimickry, or just standing at the sidelines laughing. And that, too, with no proof of someone being gay. @ColorsTV

Joining forces with Teejay, Vikas Gupta, who also happens to be a good friend of Rohit, has slammed Sreesanth, Dipika and Karanvir over their “homophobic†behaviour. He shared a lengthy post on Twitter expressing his views on the obnoxious jokes. Read his post here:
