Don't make mountain out of molehill.

My personal opinion on Pratik trying to open the bathroom door when Vidhi was taking a shower is that....it was not really a big deal and people are making a mountain out of molehill of it.

People think it's cool to be a pseudofeminist or a white knight. But to everyone creating a hoopla over Pratik's actions, why are you all forgetting that Vidhi locked the door from inside? If the door is locked from inside, what the hell can Pratik do?

The white knight Karan Kundra is saying Pratik can't do this thing in the outside world. Well, newsflash for him...this is not the outside world! This is Bigg Boss house where if Pratik even had the intention to sexually harass Vidhi, guards would've straightaway stopped him.

Even Vidhi knew that Pratik didn't have any wrong intention and didn't make a big deal out of it. She told Pratik she didn't like it and he apologized. The matter should've closed then and there. But how can white knights like Karan Kundra and Vishal Kotiyan leave this opportunity to get footage and act woke?

Salman is saying in WKV that Vidhi could've ruined her image if she wanted to. Toh kya karein Pratik? Vidhi ki aarti utaare aur thankyou bolein for not putting a false allegation on him?

Pratik was asked why he didn't tell Vidhi (when she was taking shower) what he's exactly doing. Well why Vidhi didn't ask what Pratik and Nishant were doing? I don't know whether she did or not because I don't watch live feed but Vidhi had this idea that what Pratik is doing. Toh baat ka batangad kyun?

This faltu ki wokeness aur har jagah maa behen ko ghusana to appear woke is irritating. Glad that Pratik didn't fell for it and straightaway answered that his opinion won't change. Overactor Vishal was trying to twist his words to make Pratik look like a monster. Even Salman would use the same words.

Well what Pratik said was that if someone is in his shoes, and does something to her mom or sister what he did to Vidhi, then he won't have a problem. Not that he won't have a problem if someone breaks in the bathroom door where her sister is taking shower to molest her. Context is important!

I am sorry but even more than his action his reaction was the problem, the I am always right attitude was absolutely foolish and he was ok to continue same thing in future as well. It was time ppl told him where to draw a line. And please any women would feel extremely uncomfortable if someone is doing something at the bathroom door. It's scary, and bcos there are even cameras any mishap by mistake would cause so much trauma to the girl. Only if he realized and genuinely apologized, it would have been over. His whole attitude was Janta is seeing and I am right not how the girl must have felt inside.

I would tell u my personal experience. I was around 7-8 yrs and there was regular latch in my bathroom. Latch which is pulled up and than moved aside. I was not very tall so just could pull it up and could not move it sideways.

Once I was in washroom n two male guest were in my house and after having breakfast they went to same bathroom for handwash. And when door didn't opened the they pulled the door because of which latch dropped and door opened. I was in proper clothes at that time so nothing absurd happened. But they got shamed and went away. After that I stood on bathing stool and shut the door properly and was afraid to even tell my mother. Even though nothing happened amd I was a kid.

This is why what pratik did was wrong. He didn't know whether vidhi has properly latched the door or the latch could be faulty. There was a possibility of anything can happen.

So as a sane person it's wrong to mess with door when someone is inside.

I literally just wrote the same post one min back lol. Didn't see this one. I agree completely. It wasn't that big of a deal. Just that he should've apologised if it made Vidhi uncomfortable.

"At its core empathy is simply the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes; to examine and understand their experience at an emotional or personal level. Absolute lack of empathy is abnormal and disturbing."

The action of trying to mess with the latch of the bathroom door that someone was using and in this case, showering in - is absurd to me to begin with. It obviously is not about a Boy or a Girl, but anyone behind that door that is showering and is naked / vulnerable, is bound to feel startled by noises of the latch being tampered with. It does not matter if the door was locked from the inside. We're not talking about technicalities here. We're talking about the lack of basic manners, courteousy and respect for the individual inside, to even think to tamper with the door's latch at this point.

I don't think he'd have lost anything at all to have waited a few minutes till she was outside and the bathroom was not in use? His explanation that 'No it was absolutely necessary for me to do it immediately. I didn't care who was behind the door. I was only thinking about MY game', was pure BS to listen to.

The Maa-Behen discussion was not brought up by Vidhi, she was smart enough to know Pratik could use that angle to his advantage to play the victim card #GautamGulati2 (when in case, GG was organically cornered). Vidhi was very mature to ask him a simple question on why he'd done that and not use the woman card. Did she ask for an apology? No. She again knew he's well capable of turning that into a 'victim card' and point her as the one making allegations on him. Her simple question to him was - Boy or Girl, why would you tamper with the latch when someone is using the bathroom / showering?

It was infact Vishal that asked the 'Behen' question, saying if your behen was inside - would you make her uncomfortable by doing that as well? Would your game be above everyone then as well? To which he replied 'Yes'.

What made Pratik look SO darn negative in this scenario was - Vidhi's mature way of handling it, Pratik's lack of empathy & inability to put himself in another's shoe, Pratik's lack of humility to apologize sincerely but to do it as if he did a favor on her and sarcastically so, his terrible defense - that he only cared about his 'game' and didn't care about who was inside. Lastly, that he wouldn't care if it was a family member either.

I believe, it was not just his lack of manners & courteousy in removing the latch when someone was inside that made him look negative, but it was his reasoning / defense and the mocking spirit upon being confronted - that equally incriminated him.

I think the point being made is Pratik’s mindset of “my game above all else” - other people, boundaries, nothing else matters.

Yes the focus on mothers and sisters is irrelevant IMO, but I don’t believe the point changes. No one is claiming that Pratik is a perv - or even that Pratik was trying to open the door while someone was showering in order to perv. Except Pratik - whose MO is to turn every misstep of his into a “you’re trying to trash my character” drama and thereby shift the blame.

All anyone is saying is that he needs to stop and think before he does stupid shit. The game isn’t above boundaries and basic decency. Yes the door was locked from inside - but what if she’d forgotten to? What if - for whatever reason - it opened? Then all the excuses in the world Pratik could conjure up would mean nothing. Not to mention anyone in there is going to be taken unawares and would freak out given this is on a televised show. So it’s pretty simple - don’t do this crap when someone’s inside. As Nishant later admitted to Karan - they simply didn’t think.

Vidhi confronted him rightfully - and IMO was way too nice about it - and nonetheless, Pratik immediately twisted it to allegations, and both gaslighted and mocked Vidhi there while giving her his so-called apology. And then spent the next half hour claiming he did absolutely nothing wrong, doesn’t care if someone was in the bathroom, and they’re all trying to trash his character. Spells unrepentant jackass to me.

And Pratik comprehends neither context nor perspective - that’s one of his myriad issues. As opposed to a mountain being made of a molehill - on the contrary, I think Vidhi let this idiot off far too easily.

No one is blaming pratik here for sexual harrasment. Intention was not at all a concern but it's a minimal decency that if someone is taking a shower be it a boy or a girl you should not try to open the lock but for that minimum decency you need some brains which pratik doesn't have. Everyone were angry at him for his pathetic justification and vidhi just protested keeping in mind that his intention was not wrong. It's not about bad intentions it's about not understanding a serious thing and doing anything in the name of game

pratik did not apologize he was taunting vidhi

if you are ok with someone opening the bathroom latch while you are naked inside that your pov does not mean everyone has to agree with you vidhi felt uncomfortable so she wanted to clarify with him it was pratik who brought in character assassination and what not to gain sympathy nobody doubted his intention vidhi said so karan said so even tejaswi clarified that nobody is doubting his intentions its just that vidhi felt uncomfortable that was the entire point it was pratik who blew it out of proportion

When did Pratik blow it out of proportion? When Vidhi told him initally, he said sorry. It was when the others brought it up again and ganged up on him, he got defensive because it looked like they were putting some allegation. If the only issue was that Vidhi felt uncomfortable, then why bring 12 other people to fight with Pratik about it a 2nd time?

Also, Nishant was an equal participant in this. Why did no one confront him or scream at him?

Also, regarding being uncomfortable, anyone can claim to feel uncomfortable anytime with something Pratik does. So should he go around apologising to anyone who is feeling uncomfortable?

lol no that was not an apology that was taunt both are different nobody talked about pratik s intention vidhi teju and even clarified that they dont doubt his intention he was the one who brought in character assassination and what not he brought that up in very first converstation with vidhi '

and yes if a person who is naked vulnerable in bathroom feels uncomfortable with pratik taking out the latchg then he should apologize

i dont see how hard is to understand this very simple point that everyone will find it amusing
