Exactly. Failure in Bollywood or not. Bad actor or not. What does it have to do with a person's accent?

If Salman doesnt like his accent what is the problem with that? Even I dont like it.

I just think the poster is trying to say whether or not a person has been successful in Bollywood shouldn't affect if that person's accent or manner of speaking is made fun of.

If anyone makes fun of Gautam's way of speaking, I would also find that rude because that isn't relevant to his actions in the house.

There is nothing wrong in not liking something but making fun is a different issue.

lol, when Jade Goody, Danielle O'Lloyd, and Jo O'Meara bullied Shilpa Shetty in Big Brother UK, and even mocked her Indian accent, it created a huge controversy, they were condemned, and censured, and brought to tears after the show was over.

Here, we have the host himself mocking and bullying people, only in India do they allow someone like Lallu bhai to get away with murder, no pun intended. 😉 😆

Who is Lallu ? Lallu Prasad Yadav?Please dont comment on people who are not related to the show.

It's not just Lallu bhai who is a douche, other contestants have made xenophobic comments to Upen like saying go back to London, man if you were to say - "go back to your country" - in the UK on national television, you'd be heavily criticised and condemned.

Excellent example!

Besides TV/Movies and fiction is different than doing it in real life.

Whats wrong in making fun . Mimicry artists do it all the time. Is that also in bad taste? Or is it only about Upen?

How did Upen disrespect Salman like Salman disrespect him? Did he disrespect Salman's accent? Did he laugh at the way Salman speaks?

Upen disagreed with Salman and stood firm on his own decisions. He has every right to do that. And Salman can disagree with him because it relates to issues in the house.

Salman can mock his actions, his strategies in the house. Whatever. But making fun of someone's accent is a whole different issue.

I was cheering Salman when he grilled Upen for his impartiality in nominations while he was captain.
