I have heard/read so many folks say it is 'not dhamki'. To me, it was a dhamki, however covered in 'velvet cloth'.
"You are already hurt (and you may not have as my physical strength as me) and hence when I pull, (you are going to get more hurt). "
The part about the 'Physical Strength' that he did nit say, but meant, was an underhanded dhamki only!!
Am sure, Salman and BB may say it is not dhamki, bcos they are overlooking the part that he didn't speak, but the connotation were there.
Oh and BB want Physical violence even in a simple game.
It was proved when Nishant explained to Naina to take decision as sanchalak on grounds of "pulling", and when she really wanted to do it, BB interfered.
Exactly it was Dhamki but ppl keep defending it so no use to argue them..& about bb so they r the main villain when they interrupted..
