If you ask me, whether he's faking it or not is immaterial because neither us nor the contestants can prove anything to the contrary. Ab the safer option in such instances is to believe a person's words and treat them with the compassion they deserve. If you can't be compassionate to them for whatever reasons, at least be indifferent so as to not get vilified on national television.
Tina aur Priyanka ka ye wala decision has majorly backfired on them.
What if contrary to all our beliefs, Shalin is indeed depressed because BB's doctor did prescribe him some medication to help with his mental health. Smarter hota ki pura ignore kar dete. Ab they've managed to do two things :
1. Come across as heartless people on national television who have zero regards for someone's mental health.
2. Humanise Shalin and basically make us sympathise with him.
