Foreign contestants from past seasons were made fun of their hindi. And Deepak makes it humorous that's why he is asked. His song was good. Only those who make it sound funny are asked to do it like Sangram or Deepak.

Not only that but I have seen Indians mocking people who have accent in English. I have European accent while talking and a few Indian friends make fun of me. It's funny because they themselves have strong Indian accent. Indians usually think their accent is the correct one.

Deepak has a degree in English, I don't know why he is pretending he can't speak the language, he is the one who is playing into this. Why is he pretending to not know this, and as a playback singer of movies why is he pretending to be a commoner? He is from the Industry.

If you speak English you are considered high class according to some jerks.

It's not only in BB, happens every time. If u dk English, that's an insult. According to some people. There has been cricket players who are being mocked for their poor English. I think this is common in Asian countries. I find that really wrong.

apne desh me pata nahi kyun fluent English bolne walon ko superior aur English na bol paane walo ko inferior samjha jaata hai 😕... but actually ye mentality bachpan se hi daalni shuru ho jaati hai when parents and teachers insist children to talk only in English ...as knowing good English is considered a big asset for one' career here...

anyways whatever be the reason, Sree can speak good English and that's why he's not ridiculed for his Hindi in BB house...not being able to speak Hindi is mostly irrelevant in BB house cos even people, like Surbhi, who can speak good hindi are always heard talking in English.

Like it or not but somehow not being able to speak good English is indeed considered a drawback in our society now...and somehow speaking good english is associated with personal, social and financial superiority. 😳

When it happened the first time I brushed it aside as all in good fun but I am seeing a trend here and Deepak is repeatedly being mocked for his English and they are using the English language as some cool factor or the cool kids. I feel bad that they always make him feel stick out and not one of us type of kids. These people are on Bigg Boss hindi but they obsess more about who and how much command one has for English. If you cannot speak good Hindi its fine, but dare you have some limitation with English then you open yourself to ridicule from the production team, host, guests, contestants everyone!

I have also felt the same though I always thot it's in good humour but when I analysed it carefully, it had become a trend . Not only the contestants but even the guest ask Deepak to translate and say something in English and then everyone laughs 🥱
