I talked to Aruna Vijay on Insta, had a nice talk with her. In her msgs she didn't sound to be egoistic. She responded nicely. For Jains, eggs is a big thing. Others may find it a small thing, but it's definitely big to cook with eggs for a Jain. I can't explain all because no one will be ready to understand the Jain viewpoint.
Tagging PM and CM of TN was too much. The episode in which she is appreciated I leave that episode, cause I know that she will be safe, then what's the point of watching the show. Every person makes a mistake, but Aruna doesn't makes any?
But she is looking her validation, that what she did was right. Being a Jain, I totally understand her, but others will never understand because there is a difference in lifestyle, difference in food eating habits
Yesterday a Jain saint (he has got a Padmabhushan) appreciated her values of Jainism in front lacs of people. I was present there. I sent her that video, all can see her story
I don’t think anybody has a problem with her having used the immunity pin. She had every right to.
She doesn’t want to cook with eggs and meat, no problem. But todays she had the immunity pin, tomorrow she may not. And usually in Masterchef there will be challenges that involve cooking meat.
I think the discussion was that she signed up for the show knowing that she may have to cook meat. So why the tears and unnecessary drama? And tagging people on SM? If that is not a ploy to gain sympathy or attention, how else would you describe it?
Also in regard to her being praised, I don’t think anyone denies she makes some excellent dishes, but so do many others, but nobody’s dishes are praised that much. It’s like she can do wrong. It went a little overboard when she used the carrots. She made a carrot marble cake and gajar ka halwa - both common. But they made it sound like it was the best invention since sliced bread!
Anyway, this is a topic that can go on forever. I just hope the bias is no more so obvious (actually hope for no bias) because otherwise the show will just lose its viewership.
