Today, during the Bigg Boss episode, ardent followers of the reality show, actress Sripriya, and comedian Sathish were called upon to the share the stage with host Kamal Haasan for a brief interaction. During the talk, Kamal allowed Sripriya and Sathish to discuss the common doubts the viewers would have. One of the most important queries addressed was the question as to why the smoking room scenes were not shown on Television.
Kamal Haasan had a clear cut answer to this issue as he said, ''It was a conscious decision taken by the whole team of Bigg Boss, to not showcase the scenes taking place in the smoking room as we would not want people to start smoking because the characters in the show are doing it. When I was younger, I started tobacco use in real life after watching Sivaji sir smoke. I wanted to do it for the style. I quit later on, not only in real life but also in my movies. I did that because I didn't want the audience to do it because I do it. That is why we decided not to show the scenes from the smoking room.''
