A couple of points that I want to raise in defence of Puneet:
1. Arya Babbar seems to have a knack for bringing in personal issues. Even Preetam, Praneet were saying he's crazy and getting personal now.
2. As far as Puneet bringing up the romance issue, Arya/Minisha themselves exposed their dirty laundry in front of everyone. What's the big deal ?
3. Bringing up AB's name on screen when he has nothing to do with the show. Why did he do it ? How dumb is it to bring up a 30 year old issue that's dead and buried ? AB could sue him just for this.
4. Not to sound repetitive, but he was completely disrespectful to someone his father's age. Like Salman said, Puneet has the right to be disrespectful. This is the culture of subcontinent - we respect elders. Rest assured public will give the right verdict. Take it or leave it but what Salman said is 100% accurate. Let's not forget this is supposed to be a family show, it sets a bad precedence.
5. I've an inkling that Arya did the whole physical violence natak thing on purpose. He knows that unfortunately Puneet has a reputation for being an unsafe worker because of that one unfortunate incident. Personally, I do not agree that he is unsafe because he did a lot of physical things in many movies + full on fights in Mahabharat. His work was praised and nobody called him unsafe. But Arya successfully capitalized on that reputation and caused Puneet eviction. When in reality, if Gautam had whined and whinged as much about Arya and Ali twisting his neck and hand badly, it would have obviously resulted in their evictions. Also, the proof is on camera that Ali and Arya were proudly expressing their intent behind what they did. Same thing with Sonali and Diandra.
6. This guy Arya's passive aggressive behavior is weird. Nobody knows who the real Arya is. Is it the guy who is all peaceful, tries to act like the 'big brother', respects his elders or is it the guy who bangs the (open lol) door, exposes a woman's dirty laundry and uses expletives for his elders ?
7. Also, Puneet was being all politically correct in the beginning but now that he is being very open about things. Why are people hating on him for that ? When he was politically correct, they hated him. Now he is open, they still hate him.
