Q1 : What did you think of her in the 1st epiosde? Why?
Not only in the first episode, I noticed her even before at the audition. She was one who has lots of mystery inside her. She was very much criticized by judges for her way of speaking and dressing. The judges accused her that she is using this way of dressing, talking and that tattoo to get attention of others without which perhaps no one will notice her. And she replied honestly that you might be very much right. They asked her more questions and she refused to share something that was very personal to her. Afterwards they were discussing about her that she has lots of complexities and fears in her life but she is strong enough that she made her defensive techniques to cope with them.
In the first episode the way she fought for her friend Oorja, told me that she is outspoken and bold enough to clash with a group of opponents all alone. Her damn hot body, her boldness, her way of dressing, her killer eyes, her accent, her bike riding skills, each and every thing about her was so unique and special that made her different from all others and perhaps that's why it was hard for all of them to adjust with her and vice versa. Truly it was evident to me very early that she is an individual and others were a crowd.
Q2 : What did you think of her as the show progressed? Why?
As the show progressed, it seemed to be based upon her personality alone. As she truly said "MERE KO TO LAGTA HAI YE PURA SHOW HE MERE BAARE ME HAI.... --- TO VOTE OUT BANI .. OR NOT" It was true that she got maximum votes in each vote out but she was not responsible for all the politics behind it. It was the clash between Delhi and Chandigarh groups who had as their leaders Ankit/Shaleen and Vishal/Sahil respectively. And yes, Kolkatta's politics, which was not revealed at that point. But everyone was busy in discussing just her. It was evident in Q/A session in which maximum questions were asked from her and all those question were of the type that it was only her that dealt with them assertively otherwise I'm afraid any other girl would burst in tears or anger in that situation.
She also faced lots of emotional ups and downs in that phase. Clash between Rishab and Vishal... her choice of Rishab over Vishal (That was her great mistake), Rishab's betrayal to her and joining the Delhi group, fight with Delhi girls, and that spy thing.. she was the imperative part of all those dramas. Things became somewhat smooth for her after Soonam/Swati vote out when the only group emerged in power was the Kolkatta group..
Apart from all those things... I liked her a lot in few tasks... dance task (Chamma Chamma) her matkay, jhatkay, and thumkay were superb.. rock climbing taks.. she was at her peak in that task, football game.. her shot was awesome....
Q3 : What opionons did you form for her in the laste episode? Why?
She was very positive and excited to win before. But when she came to know that its all those losers who had to decide the winner of the show it was fairly apparent in her mind that she can't win now.
She was sad and happy at same time on Anthony's victory, happy for him as a friend.. and sad cuz all those losers finally completed their mission successfully. Its not that she was afraid of losing but as she said 'I'll accept my defeat happily if I get it fairly in a tough competition' but that defeat came to her as a revenge of all those looser and that's made her sad.. The way they behaved was so abusive that even Anthony the winner, couldn't enjoy his victory then it was really hard to be happy for her at that situation. Even then Its her strong personality that she didn't broke in tears and keep her moral high even at that time.
After finale her fan following multiplied immensely and now in any Raodies forum she is the one who has maximum number of fans. Even her haters started loving her after finale.
Overall finale was like a love story... a heroine, a hero, candle light dinner and then the entry of villains.... some sad phase and then finally a happy ending...
Q4 : Which boy do you think she suits the most with?
After Finale, its obviously Anthony. Apart from all the best things in her personality, I've to admit that she is not a simple person as all other girls of the show was. All of them were very normal, simple and like 'girls next door' but Bani has a difficult personality. In order to get her real essence one has to be as sweet and patient as Anthony. He was the one who loved her because of her. She said very rightly in last episode that why she likes Anthony... cuz he is patient, he gives her time, understands her and makes her smile when she is depressed...
Both of them have very different looks but even then they looks so sweet and cute together.. its really amazing... the way he disclosed his love for her in finale, their hug, the last scene.. all was so romantic... and the fact that she is the only Roadie he is still in touch with.. make it more adorable... ppl who thought that she might used him in order to win are proved to be wrong as both of them are still good friends...
About others Roadies who got linked with her, I feel that perhaps they appear good with her in aspect of looks but their reason of liking her was so frail that their relations broke so easily. I don't think that Rishab ever loved her.. though she was definitely got attracted to his alluring dialogues. He was just using her as per his game plan and the reason of his jealousy with Vishal or Anthony was not love but a sense of losing. Sense that the girl whose name was linked with him now no more care about him and got linked to other boy, Anthony. As far as Vishal was concerned, he had a huge crush on her and he really cared about her.. he was the one who was worrying about her even when he was leaving after his vote out... and even at finale though he was against her but he maintained her decency... I think the reason that why he was attracted to her was Bani's damn hot personality and the reason of his repellence was his jealousy... so it wasn't real love... its desire to get something you want... real love is only Anthony who when asked to choose between Bani and Victory.. .he not take a second to say that 'vote against me'.
Q5 : Which song would you like to dedicate to her?
I can't think of any song that worth her personality.
Q6 : What according to u is the best scene of her in the whole show?
Oh, God! It's the most difficult question that you asked.. I just love her in each and every scene... believe me I can give u ten page answer just in response of this question... okay.. okay.. don't worry... I choose Poonam's vote out scene.. when finally it was evident to Anthony too that She is the only loyal friend he has...
Q7 : Any other comments??
Being Roadie is not only about performing good tasks... if it was just limited to that then vote outs would not be done by roadies themselves.. there would be a task and the person who perform worst would be voted out... as in 'Fear Factor'.. but here even the best task performer can be voted out by other roadies if even once he don't get immunity... so this game is much more than performing tasks.. as Rishab said very truly after he was voted out second time that this game is not about performing tasks, or endurance... its about how u r as a person.... Ankit has a great body, Vishal has great look, Poonam was great in tasks, Raj and Rishab were great in politics but even then they lack something... Bani is much stronger than all of them as a person... being strong doesn't mean being good or being bad... here strong means a person who can survive in all circumstances...
Bani is the most discussed Roadie in this season not only in forums but in the show too. I think its not Bani who made herself center of attention in the show through the whole journey... its actually other roadies who made her focus point of the show... especially Delhi girls.. who made their mission to vote Bani out and spent all their time in discussing about her... they gave her so much importance that gradually viewers also focused their full attention on her... and in last episode too, all roadies made her center of attention otherwise they can easily vote her out without creating that much fuss.. but they abused her badly... made the winner cry.. winner who cared abt her more than himself... and thus made her the heroine of the finale....
I bet no one can even discuss Roadies 4 without discussing Bani...
Missing ya so much Bani... 😭
