The Voice, The Blame, And The Man Behind It All: Vijay Vikram Singh on Being Bigg Boss

There's a certain irony, isn't there, in being the most recognizable voice on Indian television, yet constantly having to remind people you're not actually the all-powerful entity they hear? For Vijay Vikram Singh, the man whose distinct baritone has become synonymous with the authoritative, often chilling, commands of Bigg Boss, this seems to be an ongoing battle. And frankly, it sounds exhausting.

He's had to say it before, and bless his heart, he’s saying it again: don't blame him for the latest evictions, particularly those of Nehal and Baseer. It’s a bit wild, you could say, this persistent misconception, but it truly speaks to the power of that voice. When the deep, resonant tones of Bigg Boss declare someone's time is up, it feels utterly final, almost divine. But in truth, it's just a man reading a script.

Singh, with what sounds like a mix of exasperation and a touch of bemusement, keeps clarifying his role. "Look," he essentially says, "I'm the voice. That's it. The decisions? The drama? The intricate web of alliances and betrayals? All of that is meticulously plotted by the show's unseen architects, the masterminds in the creative department." He simply delivers the words handed to him, adding that signature gravitas, sure, but he’s hardly pulling the strings from some shadowy control room. He’s the messenger, not the monarch.

You see, fans, bless their passionate hearts, sometimes struggle to separate the persona from the person. When a favorite contestant like Nehal or Baseer gets the boot, it’s easy—perhaps too easy—to direct that frustration towards the voice that pronounces the verdict. But for once, let’s be clear: the man has no say. He’s not watching the footage, he’s not calculating votes, and he’s certainly not deciding who stays or goes based on his personal preference. His job, he emphasizes, is to breathe life into the lines that tell the story, not to write the story itself.

And speaking of identity, it’s not as if he’s some mysterious, hidden figure anymore. His face, his name, his journey as the voice of Bigg Boss—it all came out years ago. Yet, the myth, it seems, persists. He's a professional voice artist, yes, a brilliant one at that, who lends his unique talent to one of the biggest reality shows in the country. He’s a part of the spectacle, an integral one, but definitely not the all-seeing, all-knowing Bigg Boss who orchestrates the housemates' fates. Perhaps, just perhaps, it’s time we all remembered that.
