@Why they air her footage: For the same reason that they air other contestants' footage where people are fighting/planning/flirting/getting angry etc..--> the footage speaks volumes about a contestant's behavior and personality...and in Rimi's case, they are showing to the world her disinterest and derision. The contestants' behavior is a reflection on themselves...and not on the show. So her actions and continuous behavior like this are doing more harm to her than good, because she comes across as an unprofessional person who takes stupid career decisions without thinking them through.
@the contract: If one walks out of the show, then you pay a penalty. But if you ask them to CANCEL the contract, then you return the signing bonus and the weekly payout. I am pretty sure Rishabh was told by the BB team to say this...and they won't let an incorrect thing air. It was interesting to see what Madam Sen would do ...after her howling over her "my freedom is the most important for me" nautanki. And she chose to stay...freedom gayi tel lene.
Audience votes are not going to retain her on the show...that is the bottom line on a show like BB. And she is a contestant who has steadily lost supporters as weeks are going by. I liked her in the first two weeks but her unexpected and illogical crying annoyed me..and same is the case with several viewers.
BB team has mollycoddled her enough...given her enough support and encouragement through Salman and others...because she is a Bollywood actress. I hope they stop doing that pretty soon.
Frankly speaking I don't know how big a 'Super Star' she is and anyways I feel once U r in BB all r on equal footing. Also I hv never heard Rimi brag abt being a 'super star', so I wont get into all that. And exactly! as I said that BB is all abt entertainment and yes Rimi has been vocal abt her disliking BB, but it becomes too far stretched when ppl start talking abt her showing respect to the show which has provided her the platform etc.
Oh right ones behavior on BB does not tell us abt the kind of show it is, but the kind of person one is. And if that's d case then for me Rimi has been admirable. Yes it was a foolhardy and naive decision on her part to have entered BB when she wasn't sure she was deserving of it. So she naively assumed that she could leave by informing one and all how she did not want to remain in the house and wanted to leave. And she thought she cld acheive that by being invisible. Sadly it didn't work out that way. First week she cribbed, 2nd week she pleaded and begged and got emotional. Finally realized tht this would not happen. So is calmly showing her 'passive resistance' and sticking to her stance abt leaving the house. Other than her breakdown when Salma played the 'direct ticket to the finale' prank, I have not seen her crying and when each and everyone keeps asking her the same Q over and over again abt 'then Y did u come to BB?', she gave her explanation once, but refuses to do so again and again. So how does that constitute as constant cribbing? She comes across as a very calm and sorted person, very much self-assured and self contained and a loner. She ain't throwing tantrums or crying buckets. And her attitude has won her many fans too. So it's both ways. If ppl hv stopped liking her, many ppl have also started liking her for her quite, yet upfront attitude.
IMO cancelling a contract is equivalent to 'a voluntary exit'. It's just a matter of playing with words. And also as I said even if it wasn't the matter of paying penalty, Y should she forfeit her payment for the weeks she has been in the BB house? One can't be that impractical and from whatever I hv read, it's not the case of her not needing the money.
As far as BB molly-cuddling her/ Salman supporting her/ her having few fans/ nobody voting for her goes - these r all speculative and clutching- at- straw statements by ppl not liking her or feeling insecure for their own favs and cannot be taken as statements of facts.
