Bigg Boss Kannada 12: Kiccha Sudeep confronts Ashwini Gowda over ‘chappal’ allegation against Rakshitha Shetty

In the latest promo of Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12, a controversial issue inside the house has once again taken center stage, Ashwini Gowda’s repeated claim that Rakshitha Shetty showed her a slipper (“chappal”), an act she believes was a deliberate insult to artists.

The promo hints at a tense exchange between Ashwini and host Kiccha Sudeep, who appears skeptical about the allegation, indicating that the matter is still unresolved.

Ashwini Gowda’s Allegation

Ashwini continues to assert that Rakshitha made a slipper gesture toward her, calling it an act of disrespect not just to her but to all artists. In the new promo, she raises the issue once again during Kiccha’s Panchayathi, saying: “If you act and show a chappal, who are you insulting?” Her statement shows that she is unwilling to drop the issue and is demanding accountability for what she views as a serious insult.

Kiccha Sudeep’s Response in the Promo

In the clip, Kiccha Sudeep questions the claim with calm precision, saying: “Did Rakshitha really show a chappal to an artist? When we misinterpret behavior, accusations get thrown. I am an artist too. If disrespect truly took place, I would address it for all artists in Karnataka.” Sudeep’s tone appears balanced, neither outright rejecting Ashwini’s statement nor validating it. His questions seem to suggest that evidence of the alleged act is unclear.

What the Promo Reveals (and Doesn’t)

The promo highlights Ashwini repeating her allegation multiple times. Interestingly, the visuals shown do not display Rakshitha actually showing a slipper. This has sparked curiosity among viewers about whether the gesture was edited out or if it never happened at all. Ashwini appears emotional and firm in her accusations, whereas Rakshitha seems frustrated by the continued blame. Sudeep, meanwhile, maintains a neutral but questioning stance.

The Larger Impact

The promo has ignited strong reactions among audiences. Some believe Ashwini’s claim is exaggerated, while others feel that if the gesture was made off-camera, the show owes viewers transparency. The teaser has also raised larger questions about interpretation, editing, and fairness in reality shows, where every gesture and word can be perceived in multiple ways.

What to Expect Next

The upcoming episode is expected to feature:

In short, the new promo keeps the “chappal” controversy alive, with Ashwini standing by her claim and Sudeep calling for clarity. The weekend episode promises to reveal whether the truth finally comes out — or if the debate will continue to divide the house and its audience.
