City police yesterday rounded up about 25 Shiv Sainiks for staging a protest in front of a bungalow at Lonavala hill station where the shooting of reality show Big Boss is in progress. The Sena activists raised slogans for half an hour condemning the participation of two Pakistani artistes in the show, anchored by Bollywood actor Salman Khan, police said, adding adequate security had been provided at the place of shoot.

The protest follows the party’s stand against the show on Colors television channel, featuring two participants from Pakistani – actress Veena Malik and talk show host Begum Nawazish Ali.

Even as Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray said the presence of Pakistani artists on Bigg Boss would not be allowed, party activists barged into the campus of the bungalow where the TV show is being shot and beat up some security guards. The Shiv Sainiks shouted slogans and protested the move by TV channel to include two Pakistanis on the show – model Veena Malik and TV actor Ali Saleem, whose TV persona Begum Nawazish Ali is very popular both in Pakistan and India. Police say the activists beat up some private security guards. A spokesperson for Colors TV declined to comment on the issue. The bungalow, where the artists will be housed for the next three months, is in Lonavala, around 125 km from Mumbai. Thackeray vowed that his party would not allow the show to continue at any cost. “In India nowadays, we are destroying our self-respect. Under the guise of the show, Pakistan’s green poison is being spread in this country.
