Isn't acidity a temporary annoyance and discomfort for most overweight people? Why make such a big fuss about it? Why is Rajat so listless and incapacitated because of this one health issue of his - all the freaking time? I am sure his acidity will subside and he'll be able to eat properly. He could have requested Bigg Boss for a bottle of Eno or some other antacid, either through the wishing wall or in the confession room. I am sure that would have done it for him, provided his wish was granted.

But to completely go dead on the audience and laze around 24/7 is really not going to help him and his image in the future. He's a successful producer. He can't be acting like a lethargic chunk of fat or a morbid whale all the time! Buck up, my torpid pal!

Hez getting acidity by gobbling down a pitcher full of lemon juice from the confession room..🤣
Well on a serious note I really agree with you. He should be familiar with his ailments and should have meds stocked for use inside the house. If he committed to stay inside the confines of the BB house he should haul his lazy ass and get going every morning like all the other inmates instead of demoralizing all the contestants with his tantrums..
Alas now It maybe too late for him to rectify the situation coz hez heading home tomorrow for sure..🤣

It also happens to non-sumos...😆 I have it all the time and am so used to it that if once in a blue moon I don't feel acidity I feel a part of me is missing...😳

Rajat is nataking...He thought he will get lakhs just to laze around in the house and would also get to eat loads..sadly his dreams weren't fulfilled and he is desperate for attention and to find some bahana to eat more and work less...😆

Am sure he will be eliminated this week, if he is nominated that is...😃

Totally agree, Meg! Usually, whenever a contestant is summoned to the confession room, s/he waits until Bigg Boss actually takes the pain of allowing the contestant to grab the item on the nearby coffee table. In his case, he actually asked him for the pitcher of lemonade. Anyway, I don't want to lambaste him any further, as I might end up upsetting the Almighty, given his ill health. He needs to seriously contemplate shedding his body fat - at least for the sake of Gehna.

This man has NEVER worked hard in life. It's evident. He's stinking rich, which is why he took his life for granted and kept stuffing his appetite until it grew out of control. He's not THAT OLD EITHER! I am sure he can still work around reducing his SUPER EXTRA pounds. DO SOMETHING, for the love of God - but make sure you don't continue being morbidly obese!

Oh, he's leaving this Saturday - that's for sure! There are no two ways about it.

I completely agree with you Roshan..
He should seriously contemplate his course of action at least for the sake of his wife and kid...
Maybe God give him the resolve to accomplish this monumentous task of shedding weight..It's no mean feat for a guy like him coz he will need a lot of support to be able to do that..

Meg, there are these weight loss camps all across the US. I have personally known people who have utilized their services and achieved amazing results. It's obvious Rajat ain't gonna get a movie offer any time soon, so why not utilize his money, resources and time in visiting the camp and losing it all. They work really hard to maintain their own business standards.

BB is not a platform that actively seeks to raise social consciousness. Yet with Rajat BB is bringing to fore a problem that receives very little recognition and much derision - Obesity.

Almost every one has been mocking Rajat for his constant crying and inability to participate. However what Rajat is suffering from is a serious medical condition - a life threatening disease.

It is a fact that India is not only home to 40% of the malnourished population in world. As much as 5% of India's population suffers from Morbid Obesity.

Morbid obesity is a serious health condition that can interfere with basic physical functions such as breathing or walking. Those who are morbidly obese are at greater risk for illnesses including diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea (
stop breathing altogether for short periods of time during sleep), hypoventilation (inability to breathe rapidly enough or deeply enough, resulting in low blood oxygen levels and high blood carbon dioxide) gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD (stomach acids entering the esophagus), gallstones, osteoarthritis, heart disease, and cancer.

With Rajat we have seen symptoms of GERD, Sleep Apnea, Hypoventilation, High BP and Severe Depression.

Asking for Coffee or to meet his daughter is not a joke - it is
his way of alleviating morbid depression.

His inability to breathe, swollen feet, inability to sleep at night is all a manifestation of increasing Hypoventilation.

The acidity is not a
well-planned drama but probably an attack of GERD.

Like Tanisha and Arman stated repeatedly - Rajat is a sick man and keeping him in the house might be fatal.
He should've been sent back when the condition first manifested itself. Somewhere a man's life has been put at risk and we are all party to it.

And yet this is a wake-up call to all of us - to recognize the symptoms of the disease in the people around us and perhaps show some empathy instead of heaping ridicule.

Let me see if we can get the two threads merged - so that this discussion happens in a single place only.
