And here in lies the irony. You like her because she's imperfect. And she irritates me to no end because she refuses to even entertain the possibility that she is anything but the epitome of perfection. You say it's people who want her to be a Devi, but it is she herself who's trying to portray herself as one. And failing at that.
I know not everyone is all good or all bad, like the more passionate audience would have you believe. And yesterday, she finally got the chance to show her better side. One of my biggest issues about tasks is when people don't realize that it's just that- a task. When shit hit the fan, instead of going on and on about how the opposing side has no morals and "goonday hain sab ke sab", she observed their plan, saw what worked and what didn't and then strategized accordingly, improving on certain ideas and discarding others. She just took whatever was dished out to her calmly, and swore to respond in kind the next day but not out of a personal vendetta for revenge as it almost always turns into, but solely from a perspective of winning the game. Unlike say, someone like Mehjabeen who only seems to know how to give threats, or Vikas who totally milked that injury for all it was worth. 😆 What it turns into is yet to be seen but she did earn brownie points over there. And also over not throwing a bitch fit over being nominated. So kudos.
That should mean she isn't a drama queen though, right? Except she is. She totally is.
Like I said, no one's all bad. And I've given Hina credit where it's due. But her being sporting in tasks does not in any way compensate for her actions in this show so far, which has ranged between immature to borderline deplorable sometimes. Be it the bizarre way she thought the best way to combat bullying (homophobia) is bullying (body shaming, digs on career) but with a gang instead. Or the way she turned on Vikas when he rightfully told her that his sexuality is none of anyone's business to the point where she claimed he deserved whatever crap Shilpa did to him. Rule#1 of showing kindness: Don't jatao. That just cheapens the act. The nonstop "main apke liye khari hui ek hafta" to justify her poking into his private matters was in poor taste, and her insistence that Priyank left due to Vikas was just outright idiotic. One of her biggest weakness is that she loses all grip on logic and sanity the instant she's riled up. You can't just say your piece and go "talk to the walls" when it's time for people to respond. It's just plain rude.
You say that we all cuss when we're pissed, OP. And yes, yes we do. But there is cussing when you're pissed. And then there is what she said. Honestly, I'd rather she cussed the hell out of everyone that week instead of the mean spirited comments she made. Cuss words are merely unpleasant to listen to, but the cheap shots she took are not one so easily overlooked. And she should be held accountable for them.
Now matter how you try to spin it OP, this is not a case of expecting a women to be a saint. It's a case of expecting a person to not think they are superior to others due to their looks or better job or whatever, to not use kindness as a sword to hang on someone's neck, and to have the maturity to realize that they can't always be right. Not unreasonable expectations imo. But unfortunately, Hina has fallen short of all of them so far. She may have admirable sportsmanship and and may speak with confidence but she needs a lesson in humility. Preferably before she says something even more incriminating.
