Bigg Boss 16: Smoking room sealed after contestants smoke in open, Sajid Khan refuses to apologise

For the first time in the history of controversial reality show 'Bigg Boss', the makers decided to lock up the smoking room next to the garden area of the house to punish the housemates for smoking in open.

Bigg Boss was seen expressing his disappointment at the housemates for smoking outside the room despite repeated warnings. He also reprimanded them for promoting smoking in front of the youth by doing it in the open.

As a punishment, Bigg Boss then announced that he is now going to seal the smoking room forever.

"Aap jaise heroes ho toh villains ki zaroorat hi kya hai. Mubarak ho," Bigg Boss was heard saying before he announced to seal the smoking room.

While the housemates then discussed how they should apologise to the gamemaster, Sajid was heard saying that he will not apologise for his act.

Shalin Bhanot, Tina Datta and others tried to argue that his act is strictly against the rules but the filmmaker was adamant that he was just "enjoying a smoke" and does not mean to influence the youth, so he was not apologetic.

He was later seen requesting Bigg Boss to send his packet of cigarettes and open the smoking room for him as he is a chainsmoker.

The harsh decision by Bigg Boss comes after repeated warnings to the housemates, especially Sajid, asking them not to smoke a cigarette in the garden area.

Host Salman Khan too had earlier warned Sajid and Shalin to not smoke in the open and break the rules of the house.
