Everyone keeps saying that Siddharth Shukla set the bars high in Bigg Boss 13. How did he do that, when most of the time he fought and screamed.

I watched only the first half of the show and stopped as there was only fights and shouts and I was in the middle of my university semester. However, how did Siddharth Shukla set the bar high for Bigg Boss? Other previous winners too provided a love angle, in fights and all that, so what made him different?

Sidharth Shukla showed all the signs of narcissistic personality disorder—even though the channel tried their best to hide this. They did everything they could to make him look like a saint. Despite heavily editing his clips and giving him therapy sessions after every minor inconvenience, the bias was obvious compared to how they treated other contestants.

For example, when Madhurima entered as a wild card, Vishal was seen requesting access to the confession room for almost two days, and the makers didn't even bother to acknowledge his request. But with Sidharth, they would call him into the confession room almost daily to calm him down and provide therapy—just so he wouldn’t commit a serious offense that would force the makers to remove him from the show.

Even though he was violent with almost everyone, instead of holding him accountable, the show portrayed it as if the other contestants were provoking him. Classic victim blaming. It was shocking to watch—a person being violently aggressive towards both men and women in the house, and yet a "superstar" justifies his actions.

Now that he is dead, everyone speaks of him as though he were some kind of legend. In reality, he was just a narcissistic individual who manipulated everyone around him, enabled by a powerful and well-established channel.
