Just a year ago we saw model-actor Keith Sequeira in 'Bigg Boss 9' going through the same pain and making an emergency exit after his younger brother Ian Sequeira passed away. It was after long, since Karishma Kotak faced the same tragedy in 'Bigg Boss 6' and had to leave the show midway due to her ailing father's sad demise 3 years ago.

Unfortunately this tragedy struck the BB house again in a year's time and Manu Punjabi left the show this weekend due to his mother's death. His departure left everyone in shock and reminded us of Keith's tragedy in last season.

The contestants in the biggest reality show stay inside the house for whole 3 months during the show and are cut off from their families and other activities happening in the outside world. This is highly unfortunate when one has to make an untimely exit, particularly for a family emergency.
