Karan Veer Mehra on paid media in Bigg Boss 18
Speaking about people assuming him to buy paid media, Karan Veer Mehra said, ” First of all, explain it to me! I can’t understand how buying media would even work. If I’m walking somewhere, you’ll still see me, right? If I bought media and claimed I wasn’t walking, but you saw me walking, would you believe it? This whole idea is ridiculous. The entire media of India can’t be bought. It’s not like I’m some billionaire like Ambani or Adani, and even they couldn’t pull this off. The truth will eventually come out—someone’s phone or TV will show it. And as for this claim that I could buy media, if I could do that, I’d open my own channel, create my own Bigg Boss, and give myself trophies daily! That’s what buying media would look like.”
He added, “In fact, I’m very perturbed by this. Many media persons have shown me these stupid messages. So, my request to everyone: please stop this right away. You’ll only land in trouble if someone files a complaint. Don’t act impulsively and do something stupid. If you don’t like me, fine—don’t like me. But these threatening messages? If you’re not planning to do anything, why send threats? You’ll end up in trouble, and your time will be wasted in court.”
