The most controversial show, Bigg Boss is back with its fourteenth season and it brought along loads of drama and gossips to spike the TRPs like nothing else. Kumar Sanu’s son, Jaan Kumar Sanu is a contestant in Bigg Boss 14 and in an episode while speaking to his fellow inmates in the house, Jasmin Bhasin, Sara Gurpal and others, he spoke about his parents’ separation. Jaan said, “For me, my mother plays the role of both parents. My parents separated when my mother was six months pregnant with me, hence, I have grown up with her only since childhood. My mom is both a mother and a father to me. Before entering the Bigg Boss House, what worried me most was that who will now take care of my mother. My thinking when it comes to love is old school because of my mom, I feel love only happens with one person and we should only be with one person. I am just like my mother.”
