Bigg Boss 18: No Contestant Eliminated On First Weekend Ka Vaar

On the Sunday episode, Salman announced that no contestant would get eliminated this weekend. However, donkey Gadhraj, who made his debut in the premiere episode on August 6, has bid farewell to the show after its first week. Gadhraj is the pet of contestant Gunaratna, who reportedly brought him along to the show.

However, earlier this week, animal rights body PETA India objected to the use of a donkey for the purpose of entertainment on Bigg Boss 18. The Indian leg of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wrote a letter to Salman to use his influence to remove a donkey from the sets.

"We are being inundated with complaints by members of the public who are deeply distressed over the keeping of a donkey in the Bigg Boss house. Their concerns are valid and must not be ignored," read the letter.
