Acting on an appeal from a senior Shiv Sena leader, most cable operators in Mumbai and Thane Wednesday blocked Colors TV, the channel that airs reality show Bigg Boss 4, an official from a cable operators’ association said here Wednesday.

“Senior Shiv Sena leader Anil Parab requested us not to air Colors and help them take an aggressive stand vis-à-vis the participation of Pakistani stars in Bigg Boss-4,” Cable Operators and Distributors Association’s president Ganesh Naidu told IANS.

“Parab told us that Indian channels find no space in Pakistan. So why are we giving importance to people with Pakistani nationality? Most of us agree with him and hence we have accepted his request,” Naidu added.

October 11, 2010 : The first elimination of ‘Bigg Boss 4′ took place on Friday and Kasab’s lawyer bid adieu to the house. Sara Khan, Seema Parihar and Hrishant Goswami got safe, as public chose to eliminate the lawyer.

Before stepping out of the house, Bigg Boss asked Kazmi to nominate two other housemates for next week’s elimination and he was also asked to give reasons for the same. He was informed that Begum Nawazish Ali cannot be nominated because he has been made the captain of the house and thus safe from this week’s nomination. After hesitating for few moments, he nominated Seema Parihar and Veena Malik. He cited the reason that, as both of them are not from the entertainment field, they might not gel well with the other contestants, so they should be eliminated.

This reason, however, was applicable for former Bandit Queen Seema Parhiar but Veena, who is a Pakistani actress, was left surprised. In fact, host Salman Khan also asked Kazmi the same question when he came out of the house. He asked Kazmi why he gave the same reason for Veena, as she is an actress. At this, Kazmi said that he knows Veena only for the match fixing controversy and is not aware of the fact that she is an actress in Pakistan.
