I don't deny that Bani has a large support base on social media - courtesy an inherited fanbase plus support that she's garnered on this show. I don't think anyone can comment on the viewership not on social media, as we cannot gauge the direction of their support. But to say that BB does not interfere, does not try to push a certain narrative, is inaccurate, IMO.
There is a lot done to make WKWs and most episodes Bani-centric. Bani's emotions and personal equations are hot topics - to the extent that Gaurav gets bashed for not being a good enough friend to Bani. How this found relevance on a WKW is beyond me, and all the more telling for that. Even this past weekend - that main issue of him backing out of an agreement was merely glossed over; what was focused on was that 'he got Bani nominated' - which he's been bashed for previously too. Bani has been endorsed and propped up on weekends a number of times, at Gaurav's expense. Every time he's tried to step away, play his own game, he's been bashed back into the slot intended for him.Quitting tasks, giving them up, making statements like 'I don't feel the need to work hard for tasks now; I'll do so in the final weeks", would have been bashed heavily in previous seasons. But here you have Salman gently cajoling Bani to not give up tasks, for her fans, etc. There are pep talks and propping almost every weekend - which no one else gets. Her 'emotions' get undue, and frankly baffling, attention. Even BB, in an unseen video, is cajoling and pleading with her to speak in Hindi, as opposed to insisting on it - ridiculous.Episodes too, are Bani-centric. Now, some may argue that no-one else in the house is interesting. But how interesting is watching Bani watch birds? Yet they prefer to show that over other people conversing, or even fighting. Rohan's fanbase, it seems, is the only one that can threaten Bani's. And I don't see any other reason for restricting his footage, which BB has undoubtedly been doing, than to ensure he doesn't threaten Bani's win.A number of Bani fans too seem to agree that BB pushes a narrative - I've read a number of opinions in the last few weeks on how Bani is not being a victim/isolating herself, but it is BB that is portraying her so. That, if it is the case, is BB interfering, and pushing a certain narrative around Bani - one that has proven to garner much support in the past.I'm not denying that Bani has had negative footage - but to say that that is all BB's doing, is again inaccurate, IMO, and overly generous towards Bani - she's behaved negatively, and that is why BB has had something to show. Also - positive or negative - she gets seen even while doing nothing, at the expense of those who don't even while providing content.I'm not going to call her a 'fixed winner' - but she's definitely BB's favourite to win, IMO.
