Loved reading your post!

It boggles my mind that there are people who are taking the statement at face value and celebrating it as a witty one-liner. Surprisingly Shukla has been good at those, but unsurprisingly almost all his arrogant comments are contradictory or mocking in nature.

How does 'raising a bar' become the justification for his actions? And the way he was gloating while saying this to Salman and few of the guests🤦‍♀️. Very intelligent indeed.

This hero worship of Shukla really gets on my nerves. We have been conditioned in a way that makes us look for these glorious characters in every situation. And with the content we consume, through tv and books, makes it easy to overlook reckless and insensitive actions among some misunderstood men because a redemption arc is bound to be there.

But I don't see anything like that in Shukla. He was arrogant, crass, ill mannered, short-tempered and downright vile while addressing people, in the beginning. And he is still the same! Where is the arc?

In fact where is the bar? Didn't he point to all the HMs and say 'Mujhe tumse farak nahi padta'? Then why is he getting affected by the same people?

The girl he keeps fondling is the one who is at the receiving end of his verbal abuse. Same for the ex he worked with and a previously rumoured Gf in the house. But there are still some who see him as the real hero.

Had a little sentimental or romantic background music made good people, then everyone from Sanjay Dutt to Salman Khan would have featured on the list.

Thanks and likewise! In fact - you’ve said it better than I have.

A journey is all about growth - particularly a BB journey - positives and negatives, ups and down and growth. Shukla has growth, sure - in the opposite direction - he simply got worse over the season. And if he weren’t a man in his 40s, I’d blame part of that on all the whitewashing, praise and sycophancy - but it says a lot about him that he can’t see beyond all that to his own crap - no introspection whatsoever.

And redemption? Lol - one needs to accept firstly that one requires redemption, one needs remorse and the desire to better themselves. But this one is instead proudly proclaiming that he’ll behave worse in comparison to others by raising whatever imaginary bars he perceives have been set

@bold - VERY well said, and enough said.

I mentioned this too, his raising the bar quote is just plain pathetic and absurd for a guy his age, i mean how can he even think like that how does his mind work, he stoops so low to win some petty stupid self created competition to prove how hard he is, this is what we used to do in highschool, he can't offer anything else no words of wisdom good advice intelligence, knowledge being a senior, that's cuz he has nothing to give he's an empty human being, thats why all he can do is give bare basic abuse and violence like a primitive animal. And irony is that he couldn't raise any bar but cracked under pressure always and even exploded in the CR. So much for "bar raising" bol bachchan hai aur kuch nahi

Exactly. He’s still the stupid bully from high school. No growth whatsoever. When asked about his growth curve or how he’s changed in the house, he was so proud to say he did not change. What attractive about a person who is stunted!

I don’t normally make threads, so apologies in advance for any glaring (or not so glaring) faux pas.

So Shukla’s fave explanation for his atrocious behaviour, which includes verbal abuse, threats of violence, actual violence, invasions of personal space, actually abusing people’s families (not simply going on them), bullying, s**t shaming, and the like to give a rough picture - is as follows (in as many words):

“If someone sets the bar for good, I raise it for good, if someone sets the bar for bad, I raise it for worse”

Ok - let’s look at the second part of that very intelligent statement - I.e., the raising the bar for the worse.

Apparently - according to the Constitution and Manual of Existence of the great region of Shuklapur - the above is simply Shukla’s very sophisticated way of justifying his behaviour as always being in “reaction” - and never “action”.

And reactions come as a result of the oft used and abused term - Provocation. But erm - even a halka sa hawa ka jhonka provokes this hilti dulti vibrations ki dukaan. Toh erm - the bar? 🤔 Ah - it’s set VERY low - in the minus actually, given facial expressions, tones of voice, simply Shukla’s name being mentioned, a friend disagreeing with Shukla’s decrees or even simply voicing an alternative opinion - Bechara Shukla - all of this provokes him. And in his world - both warrants and justifies threats of violence, actual violence, and statements like “tere baap ki galti tera bhai and tu”. Sigh.

But one wonders - if the above provokes Shukla to “react” so atrociously, what of the others? I mean - if Shukla only reacts, and never acts - what are the following:

- Shukla’s nasty smirks and chudail laughter, especially when others are being humiliated, bashed, and having their personal lives ripped apart?

- Shukla’s way of talking to and about people - as though they’re specks of dirt - friends or foes - putting people down and demeaning them even in benign conversations.

- S**t shaming and character trashing - whether it’s an ex or a current love interest in an equation he refuses to credit or name. And this despite being fully party to said equations, but having no accountability for his own part in it.

- Shukla’s entertaining harassment flirting - despite women telling him repeatedly to back the hell off.

- Bullying and mocking people along with his jhund of sycophants - jab dekho - especially people like Vishal, who Shukla clearly thinks is beneath him.

I could go on, but essay already kaafi lamba hota jaa raha hain - I’ll let others add what they feel I’ve missed - please feel free. All of the above = actions, but na, others do not get provoked to Shukla’s version of “reaction”. Wonder what that says about the lovely Shukla.

And the first part of the intelligent statement - I.e., that if someone sets the bar for good, Shukla raises it for good. Erm - 🤣

There are people in that house who are hardworking and fair - how again, did the aalsi magarmach raise that bar? There are people there that respect the basic individuality of other people, their capabilities and opinions - how again, did “apna dimaag mat chalao” raise that bar? There are people there that accept that they make mistakes and show remorse. How again, or rather when - has Shukla even met that bar, let alone raise it? There are people there that have, despite the craziness of that house, developed, maintained and even survived wonderful, respect-filled friendships and equations - lol, Shukla wouldn’t know friendship if it hit him in the face - so again, the bar?

And most importantly - there are those there that have survived a difficult journey full of accountability, challenge and humiliation - while Shukla has enjoyed his privileged and whitewashed farce. And despite that - cracked in the CR with his trusty violence threats and quitting whining in tow. Raised the bar indeed.

Hmm - again, I could go on, but rehne dete hain. Point is - there isn’t a single bar set for good that Shukla has even consistently met, let alone raised.

So you see - the intelligent statement, is actually a load of hogwash. But as a result of BB’s “imaandaari” this season, it too receives a whitewashed seat on the pedestal - same as its spouter Shukla does. All Shukla does deserve credit for is setting a new bar for the worst.

you summed it up so well👏i was laughing when he delivered his bhaari bharkam dialogues of raising the bar!! what crap😆

“If someone sets the bar for good, I raise it for good, if someone sets the bar for bad, I raise it for worse” - Here "I" is Sidharth Shukla PR and the creatives. I don't see any positive in his personality so whatever i have seen is this image created by the channel and his PR.

Waaow... I just can't imagine & write how happy I am after reading this post... Humare dil ki baat bataya hai aapne 👍🏼... Infact you have penned exactly what the whole Indian population thinks... Kudos for this superb post 👏 to add BB n colors have also raised the bar of biasedness, bullying, humiliation of anti shuklis to such a level that I don't think any season in the past or in the future can cross this limit.... IT'S PLAIN HORRIBLE & PUKEWORTHY....

🤣 omg... Very well said

He's a husband material according to Aarti.

The most visible bar, all through the season,set by Shukla is - " all should do household chores and not I and I will not do any household chores because others will do it".

The first part is the bar and the second part is bar set higher by Shukla.
