the task wasn't that a guy had a to slap a girl. ashutosh and nihal, the two finalists had two teams of 4-5 people each. one of the tasks of each team was that someone had to volunteer to get slapped. the other tasks were kissing an iguana, shaving your head, piercing nipples, getting stripped and wearing just a newspaper and what not. so one girl in the team chose to get slapped coz she refused to do any of the other things. she thought it was the least risky option, but the slap nearly displaced her facial bones!!! everybody present was shocked at how hard ashu hit her. there was no need for all that pressure. the task wasn't about how HARD you had to slap someone. just slap someone, that's all. agree it was an idiotic task, but many tasks are that way on such shows.
also, ashu had refused to do some tasks during the show such as eating reptiles that were cooked...delicacies of thailand. he said he was a shakahari and it was against his religion so he refused to participate. that was a money task as to how many courses of different dishes (of reptiles!!) they could eat. the rest of the roadies were pissed off with him and said if you come on the show you have to be ready for anything.
so its not like he could not have refused to slap her. it was the final task and he knew he had a shot at winning and he didn't wanna let go of that chance.
and finally, he didn't win because he completed the slapping task. it was a tie between nihal and ashu since both teams completed all tasks. so the strategy was that one roadie became the deciding person on who would be the winner. it happened to be Sonel, Ashu's GF then. naturally she chose him. that's the ONLY reason he won.
in BB, the same thing happened, he won because of rahul and raja rooting for him, not on his own merit.
