I don't understand though that would there be such hue and cry if all the contestants were commoners?Would it then seem equally disrespectful that one should order the other to do some work? If yes, then why even bring up the issue of celebrity? That is the problem I had with Salam's statement. I know the celebs have worked hard to get where they are but if you've taken part in a competition then all are equals. You cannot expect different treatment for your past achievements in that competition. By the way, Nitibha said that she hesitates to assign work to celebs and Priyanka doesn't sometimes. I think that's not right unless she would hesitate the same way with a commoner too.
Yes, it's possible that they overcompensate by behaving rudely, especially Priyanka. About interaction, I think it was less from the celebs' side. They hardly tried to bond with any commoner, with the exception of Lopa and Swami Om :P
@bold - I don't think the issue is ordering them to do the work so much as 'how' they're being ordered to do the work (the lack of respect and often blatant rudeness from Priyanka and Manu mainly). Salman's comment was generalised but clearly directed to these two - we haven't seen any of the other maaliks behave that way with the sevaks, and neither have the latter complained of any such.
But the fact remains that the sevaks are celebrities - yes they all are and should behave as equals in this house, but no one (neither bigg boss nor the viewers) is doing away with the distinction - the celebrities + aam aadmis is the banner this season is riding on, and hence the reference to it. Also, there is (as Navjia alluded to previously) a bit of reverse snobbery going on with some of the commoners hinting that the celebs aren't capable or good at household chores, etc because they're celebs. I recall Priyanka mentioning that 'we're aam and hence we know how to bend', for instance. This could be insecurity, overcompensation or plain rudeness.
@italic - See, I think she would - hesitate, that is. I honestly don't see any hesitation on their part stemming from the sevaks being celebs - I think its simply an awkwardness of ordering people (who aren't really your house help) to do all your work for you.
I agree that the interaction has been less from the celebs' side, but it hasn't been particularly noticeable from the other side either. But unexpectedly, Manu-Manveer literally ran to Rahul-Karan-Gaurav to ask for help in deciphering what Salman said to/about them, and were absorbing advice 😆 Also, the immediate maalik-sevak divide, and Priyanka-Manu taking it to the extreme from the word go did not help matters re any potential interactions/bondings. There's also baba being his naturally offensive self 😆 I think the smart ones from both camps would've read between the lines and will have taken a lot of positives from the WKW - lets see how things fare with the maalik-sevak switch next week.
