By Anil Merani| A new division appears in Bigg Boss 16, i.e. TV vs non-TV inmates.

Even  Bigg  Boss referred to it when he spoke to  Sajid Khan post-nomination when none of the tv crowd was in the dock.

Even Manya   Singh referred to TV while taking a dig at  Sumbul  Touqeer   Khan’s ‘proximity with  Shalin  Bhanot.

 A cursory glance at the daily footage shows that TV actors ( Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia, Priyanka Choudhary etc) are more visible. Among the non-tv crowd, only Abdu Rozik and  Archana Gautam stand out.  

 Soundarya  Sharma and Gori Nigori are absent 

Sajid is spotted only counselling others. Yes, he got good footage courtesy of his stand-up act.

I dont think there is an intentional  division; the tv crowd is more known, so obviously, the creative will focus on them; it is up to  the non-tv group,  to grab the  camera’s attention

 Archana  is doing just that, Abdu’s physical condition automatically makes him stand out, and Tina flirting with him only helps him get more air time.

 MC stan is seen but not much.

  Was  Manya’s Sumbul dig at an attempt to grab attention?

Nimrit’s captaincy is creating friction, and thereby she is seen most of the time.

 Again, I must accept that since Ankit Gupta is not doing much, the camera does not give him solo attention. Still, because he is alway sitting with opinionated Priyanka, he gets covered by default.

Shalin gets camera glare due to his actions and now becoming close to a much younger gal only raises the attention quotient.

Sreejita De is the least seen among the tv crowd. Her bete noire  Tina does enough to be noticed, i.e. Fighting and flirting with  Abdu.
