Bigg Boss 7: Shocking Truth - Salman Khan VS The Liars
By Niyati Khanna on December 9, 2013The final countdown in Bigg Boss 7 has begun, with only three evictions to go; December 14, 21 and 18. The stage is set, the mood is right and the red carpet is waiting for the Grand Finale on December 29,2013.
The Honest, The Forthright: That is Salman Khan for you. Before you read further, just give him a huge round of applause - because he deserves it. The way he did for Kamya when he was watching her toy factory' act on TV recently. No matter how much people write and argue on Salman Khan, as host of Bigg Boss, the fact remains that it is Salman Khan who pulls in the crowds. TRPs of his weekend episodes don't just shoot up in India, but also overseas where the episodes are being aired.
The man has tried really hard to drill some sense into the housemates, sometimes jokingly, sometimes by making fun of them, and sometimes directly on their face. Salman Khan on Bigg Boss 7 has gone a step ahead and shared with the housemates his own examples and stories, about how similar mistakes have always landed him in trouble. Salman even once narrated to the housemates how he still can't erase what was written about him years ago, how being labelled for knee-jerk reactions is almost impossible to get rid of. Honestly answer this one question: In which country, on which show does a host of a reality TV show talk to the contestants who are all there to win like the way Salman talks to them? If there was an intelligent person in place of Kushal, he would have taken all the advices which Salman gave with utmost sensibility and dignity. Salman Khan's suggestions and advices come from an unbeatable experience, something that even the highest paid PR company or a publicist can't give. On the contrary, the housemates are getting paid for being on the show, and are also getting guidance where required from Salman Khan, whose job is only to host the show.
The irony is nobody bothered to listen to him. There's a saying in Hindi, "Ghar ki murgi daal barabar" (You don't give importance to something that's easily available to you). This is how the housemates of Bigg Boss 7 treated Salman Khan. And in the end, they made a fool out of themselves.
The most shocking part is what am about to tell you now. From very credible sources we have learnt that the PR guys of certain housemates are behind pulling down Salman Khan. Their goal is only one: to gain all the mileage possible using "brand Salman Khan". Hundreds of fake accounts have been created, hundreds of unverified conversations are being seeded around, the PR mechanism is on full swing. Calls are being made, texts are being sent, all the favors are being pulled in - just to get few stories against Salman Khan pushed. First put a social media strategist on the job, who are now available at nominal fees, get a certain topic trending. The seeds are now sown. The debate continues, influential people on social media have a task: to push the information further, and then the damage is done. In real life the situation would be like this - hundreds of liars are pushed in a crowd. They shout something in chorus, drawing attention of others. A common tactic often displayed in Bollywood films, where the villain puts his goons in the rally of an honest leader to taint him.
Is winning a reality TV show this important for some? Yes, because their entire careers and life are going to change with the media coverage, the publicity and whatever they can gain using Salman Khan's name. This is the brutal truth.
Having said the above, all I want to drive home is - do whatever you want to, man! The truth can never be buried. It will always bounce back, it will always come haunting you, because what you give is what you get! Now, over to you!
