This is to empathise with Debolina inspite of disliking her as a contestant. Sharing my own similar story.
15 years ago my senior colleague started suggesting what he wanted from me ( more than a kiss) when I was on a sales call and alone in the car with him. We were sales and marketing executives in a 5 Star Hotel and out to meet a client.
I was stunned and I take time to process such behavior. I didn’t immediately react and kept quiet while continued discussing work hoping all of it will go away. He repeated and I told him to shut up as it’s not funny and kept talking about the meeting. The whole drive back was surreal and I was in a daze. I should have asked him to stop the car and walked out. I should have slapped him ( hard to do when he is the driver).... but I did neither immediately.
Only once I was back at work and alone in the office I called my friend and started discussing the incident and felt furious with this man and his audacity.
Seeing what happened to Debo brought back my incident. I can empathise with her reaction. Also every person reacts differently. It’s not fair to be judgemental towards the victim.
Now who the F is Salman to tell women on how to react during such incidents? Who is Karan? If you haven’t experienced it, you have no right.
Bichukle as expected wasn’t shamed enough, wasn’t rebuked enough. Instead they felt Ritesh needed a far worse dressing down. What a terrible episode for women yesterday.
