When Rajeev spoke out against Prateek for his sexual harassment, everyone applauded him. Surprisingly even BB team took such a strong stand to send out a strong message. Rajeev not only spoke out against his harassment, but also brought attention to hundreds of people in India and worldwide who go through this type of “fun” harassment . Such a cliche, when they say it was all in a joke, we were just having fun etc etc.

Teja supported him and spoke on his behalf but Rajeev not only went back on his words but also made Teja look as if she was doing it for attention .

Rajeev got scared, because he didn’t want his sexuality becoming a topic of discussion. May be he is not out in front of his family and friends. Whatever reasons may be, he did such a disservice to many people who are getting harassed and afraid to complain because of fear of not getting taken seriously.

I agree with the sentiment of this post. In certain ways, Rajeev is helping himself but letting down the cause of the fight against harassment.


He is normalizing it on national television in an already backwards society - when he doesn't need to.


Salman actually came out in full support of him. He should be on the front foot.


But he caved and was high fiving with Pratik during press conference and actually ganging up with Jay, Pratik (his harasser), Shamita (who was upset he spoke to Teja) and Neha to insult and attack Teja - when she had come to his defense.

The way he back tracked after the issue was explicitly discussed in WKW and Pratik was bashed for it, looked plain stupid on his part.

Let Rajeev decide if it was sexual harassment or not . No one has right to make assumptions .He is pretty chill with Pratik.

and No Teja did not speak on behalf of Rajeev .she did absolutely nothing except doing fake drama in front of Salman. Did she go to Pratik and took stand for Rajeev .She just wanted to score over Shamita

But Rajeev did say “I am feeling uncomfortable” . He did confide in Teja. Whether he likes it or not ,in that moment he was vulnerable and felt comfortable enough with Teja to tell her what he felt. Just because he is back paddling now, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

That was the worse thing he could have said, now even if prathik does the same thing and he feels uncomfortable, no one will take him seriously. Teja def learned her lesson today.

Teja ko mudda banana hota toh she would have made it the moment rajiv confided in her. Like she says, she doesn't go about making muddas, nor is interested in getting involved in all muddas. She gave rajiv a very sound advice and left it upto him how he wanted to go about it.


For some reason only known to BB, BB decided to make a mudda and bring this topic up in WKW. Teja wouldn't have even known this would be brought up, as BB has ignored so many equally wrong happenings. Maybe Rajiv too didn't want to make a big deal, but for reasons known to them only, BB brought up this topic.


And since only Teja among all the HMs had in fact stood up twice for Rajiv for this harrassment, she was asked about it. And after being at the receiving end of Shamita's wrath, Rajiv became defensive and put the blame on teja, saying she made it into a mudda.


Anyways yesterday in LF rajiv and teja even cleared this up. In LF the whole time rajiv is hanging out with umar, teja and karan and they have lots of fun convos and he clearly prefers hanging out with them.


Unfortunately during WKW almost everyone throws teja under the bus and target her.🙄

@bold: Umar and Karan was explaining this to Teja that Pratik, Nishant, Neha everyone will talk nicely with her in weekdays but throw her under bus in weekends! But Teja was just defending Nishant as he cried during wkw. Blind trust part is not gonna work in BB. Hope she gets it soon

Ajeeb jabardasti . If Rajeev doesn't feel that way about Pratik's remarks then what is this jabardasti ka "harassment" angle.

Pratik made some cheap comments . Rajeev did not like it and shared it with Teja . He is Rajeev, he shares everything with everyone not because Teja is kindest human on the planet. Also Teja did not give a f*ck,

BB decided to make it a mudda out of it and target Pratik . Rajeev simply dint want it . It was not much of a big deal for him .
