\"Akhil Filmmaker and Bigg Boss Malayalam 5 winner Akhil Marar<\/a> has voiced his disappointment over Agnipareeksha contestant Shibna\u2019s exclusion from the Bigg Boss house. In a video shared on Akhil\u2019s social media account, the judge of the pre-show Agnipareeksha says that no female contestant in the house is as good as the model.In the video, Akhil says that Shibna had the potential to be a stronger contestant than some of those who secured entry into the Bigg Boss house. He added that Shibna is the only contestant who can bring considerable content and competitive spirit to the show.\u201cThere isn\u2019t even a single female contestant among the current Bigg Boss direct entries who is as good as Shibna,\u201d he stated.In the same video, the former winner also spoke about the importance of the pre-show, Agnipareeksha.\u201cYou did not see Agnipareeksha as a training ground. If you had understood it as a training camp and the audience had supported us, perhaps those who were more deserving than Rakesh and Loletta would not have been left outside,\u201d he commented.Akhil further suggested that an individual\u2019s image outside the show or other factors could have played a role in the contestants\u2019 selection process. \u201cEveryone who was sent inside got there with 100 per cent of the audience vote,\u201d he said. Personally, however, Akhil Marar believes Shibna was one of the most talented contestants and could have delivered more content to the audience than Loletta.Akhil\u2019s comments have now sparked conversations among Bigg Boss viewers about whether some of the Agnipareeksha contestants who were left out could have brought more entertainment, content and competitive spirit to the Bigg Boss house.For the unversed, Agnipareeksha was one of the first-ever pre-shows in Bigg Boss Malayalam to select commoner contestants. Of the 40 contestants who made it to the show, 12 were chosen as finalists and put to a public vote. On the premiere day, host Mohanlal<\/a> welcomed contestants Loletta, Rakesh, Eldho and Shijin to the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Filmmaker and Bigg Boss Malayalam 5 winner Akhil Marar has voiced his disappointment over Agnipareeksha contestant Shibna\u2019s exclusion…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":622390,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[264228,258401,72458,76319,93,122428,61,60,264231,264230,4375,264229,282],"class_list":["post-622389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-agnipareeksha","tag-akhil-marar","tag-bigg-boss-contestants","tag-bigg-boss-malayalam","tag-entertainment","tag-female-contestants","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-loletta","tag-malayalam-reality-tv","tag-mohanlal","tag-shibna","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=622389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/622389\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/622390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=622389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=622389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=622389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
