Two examples of her 180 flips today:
- As soon as Eijaz revealed his secret, everybody respectfully gave him some space and time to collect himself. Kavita went to hug him (looking clearly reluctant), and it appeared to be a sweet gesture, especially considering her history with him. Then, he was walking out and for some reason she followed him up to the steps and screamed to him that he is strong??? He clearly wanted to be left alone for a minute.
- Then, later, when Aly mentioned the tel wala thing, Kavita instantly spoke up about the fact that she has seen Eijaz hugging people and has exchanged tel maalish with him before. She might have planned to bring this up to justify voting for Nikki, but to me it did genuinely seem like she had that thought after Aly mentioned the oil thing.
- Even in the Ruby/divorce thing - Rahul's instant skepticism made total sense to me since he has a rough history with them both. Yet he so smoothly came to terms with everything and was very visibly distraught and affected by hearing all the stories that he seemed to naturally understand the gravity of the situation over time. Meanwhile, Kavita was quick to jump on the skepticism by wondering out loud why a couple struggling to keep their marriage afloat would come to BB. A very fair, natural question all critically thinking intelligent people would wonder - but very inappropriate in the moment.
- Of course, by the end, she went and showed some very clearly fake (and unappreciated, it seemed) support to Rubina.
Considering these two things, and the boiled chicken mudda, it is starting to seem to me like Kavita genuinely lacks some basic conversational skills. It is natural for the human mind, which has developed to be skeptical, doubtful, and questioning for evolutionary reasons, to second-guess stories as one hears them. But Kavita takes no second thought and just shares her questions to everyone around her. She can't seem to be able to "read the room" as they say. Even the boiled chicken thing was similar - once she noticed that Eijaz's heavy-handed captaincy was annoying her and was getting some support, she went all out and said truly vile things to a man, trying to shame him for a simple kind gesture he requested at a time of stressful loneliness and isolation. She is such a loose cannon that she has no regard for the other housemates, their image, her own image, the cameras, nothing. Even the 'friends with benefits' thing was along these lines - dimag mein aya toh boldiya!
Not defending her at all, because tbh for a public figure there is no excuse not to work on her social skills, but maybe there is some leftover trauma from her past (could be connected to her incident) at the root of this? She mentioned she was brutally bullied in college, which is when most people learn basic adulting skills as they are finally out of their parent's shadow, so maybe she wasn't able to learn some basic conversational skills because she had no friends during that critical period? IDK man, its starting to seem weird to me that someone can be such a loose cannon again and again and yet seem quite sorted between incidents.
Thoughts?
