Bigg Boss 20: Salman Khan's reality show Bigg Boss is a show where sometimes there is debate about friendship and sometimes the contestants fight with each other over small things. But sometimes even an everyday thing like food at home becomes the cause of big fights. In the recent episode, there was an argument between Kanika Mann and Arishfa Khan regarding ghee. The matter escalated so much that other people in the house also joined the debate. At the same time, in the episode of Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan had raised questions among some members of the house regarding the misbehavior with Qazi Tauqeer. It was being told that Qazi was ill with dengue last week. The way the scout gave them food was not right. For which Salman expressed his displeasure.
How does a small matter become an issue?
From these two things you can understand that issues arise in the house regarding food items which is not a big issue. But the reasons and circumstances of both were different. In the debate over ghee, there was a question of distribution of food and the demand of a contestant, whereas in the case of Qazi, there was a question of ill-treatment during illness. This became an issue. In such a situation, the question arises that how does a small matter of food turn into such a big debate in Bigg Boss house?
How did Kanika and Arishfa's argument start?
In the recent episode, Kanika Mann asked for ghee from the new captain of the house Asif. Asif said that he will not discriminate against anyone in distribution of food. Meanwhile, Arishfa Khan questioned Kanika's behavior regarding food and called her selfish in the matter of food. After which Kanika also gave her clarification. But within no time the argument between the two intensified. Actually, here the matter was not even about giving ghee because Arishfa stood up with the box of ghee in her hand and refused to give ghee to Kanika. In this debate, Nakul Dhull supported Arishfa, while Kanika talked about not working. When this debate escalated, Asif tried to end the matter. He asked Arishfa to give ghee to Kanika because Kanika was living without food. After which, on Asif's request, Arishfa gave ghee to Kanika.
Is this the first time there was an argument over food in Bigg Boss 20?
Actually, small debates regarding food have been seen in Bigg Boss 20 but such debates are rarely seen. Earlier in an episode, there was an argument between Kanika Mann and Luv Gill regarding ration. During that time, other contestants had also given their opinion on the decisions related to distribution of ration and food that they should have taken care of the ration of the house. Issues regarding home ration keep arising due to different reasons. Sometimes someone did not get food, someone did not like the vegetables and someone put the entire ration of the house at stake in the ration task.
Why do people fight over food despite living in the same house?
All the contestants live together in Bigg Boss house. They also have to work together on things like food, ration and kitchen. However, not every person has the same preferences. Some people want ghee in their food, while others want that the items available in the house should be used keeping in mind the needs of everyone. There was an argument in the house between Arishfa and Kanika on this issue. On one hand, Kanika wanted ghee as per her choice, while Arishfa did not want it. However, sometimes the reason may not be just for food. Sometimes a fight starts due to existing resentment between people.
What is wrong with this? @BeingSalmanKhan ?
What exactly do you expect someone to do when they are offering food? How else is a person supposed to give food to someone?STEEL SPINE SCOUT OP#ScoutOP#BiggBoss20pic.twitter.com/BE7OjPXlK3

Do contestants fight intentionally?
The fights in Bigg Boss become a topic of discussion on social media. In any episode, if there is a fight over food, someone's friendship breaks or two contestants accuse each other, then people continuously talk about it and make reels. But just because of this it cannot be said that every fight has been done for the camera. Like regarding the argument between Kanika and Arishfa, it cannot be said that both of them fought deliberately so that they could get more screen time.
Yes, it is true that the conversations between the contestants and the fights between them in reality shows give people an opportunity to form their own opinion about the people in the house. Some viewers may agree with what a contestant says, while others may consider the same thing wrong. Opinions like this are usually seen on social media.
What do you get from seeing a fight over food?
Actually, when a person watches the episode on TV or app, he does not just see who got the ghee and who did not. They also see how the contestants talked to each other, who tried to intervene and handle the matter. Not only this, who supported whom? As you might have seen in the last episode, during the debate on ghee, Asif asked Kanika to give ghee. The audience can form their own opinion based on such behaviour, but it is too early to judge the entire nature of a contestant regarding an issue or a situation.
