Yknow, I feel they would have alienated her and made fun of her anyway, only because they could. Meenakshi's hitherto lack of a spine ensures that they feel good about it, and their own frustration over dancing careers that are just not happening, together with Meenakshi's more privileged position, just ensures that they feel justified for doing it. In fact, I feel it's more a case of herd mentality -- Karishma is very much the leader of the pack, and since she seems to be the most confident in the group they secure their own peace of mind by siding with her and occasionally joining in. If anything that's how bullying usually works: Meenakshi had been perpetually bullied because she didn't fit the prototype...the fact that she has an edge over them with DC at her side gives them a solid reason. She would have been bullied anyway, albeit with less intensity.
The moment she developes an attitude, that will slowly begin to change. When Meenakshi told off Karishma yesterday, one of the groupies in fact said wah kya dialogue maara...and that wasn't exactly in a sarcastic tone.
