I don’t think he’s toxic - certainly not more so than at least a couple of people I can name there.
I was liking him up until a couple weeks ago in fact, and strongly defended him against those arbitrarily labeling him a criminal jab dekho.
But the arrogant insensitivity he often displays, the rather malicious looking and frequent mocking, combined with his sexist and regressive mindset, bothers me. I can’t relate to it - and I find it pretty shitty.
That said - I still think that he’s a pretty good contestant in the not so great crop this year purely on the basis of the game - he’s playing the game, and makes an effort at least, which one cannot say for all of them there.
And a number of them there have stooped low, some more so than Rahul IMO - so while he’s no longer likeable for me, he’s in good company.
Kavita for me is way worse she is actually malicious, there is a difference in being a motor mouth and deliberately hurting someone, she is the latter yet somehow she is hailed and called BULLIED 🤣
