Been and silent reader of BB posts for a long time and well I've been a huge fan of Rashami the actress, she's got amazing acting skills and did have huge expectations of her entry in the house. But I did have a strange feeling since I've seen her in Nach and she was just this soft type who just wanted to have fun and nothing more.
I feel the problem with Rashami is that she has come in with a lot of baggage from outside, esp with regard to Shukla. Somewhere I feel Shukla wants her to give him the attention he generally demands of his group but she's not bending to it/ she's not interested or whatever. And whenever Shukla tried to patch up with her she either didn't respond properly or somewhere there is this huge communication gap between them.
I'm hugely getting reminded of Karanvir Bohra of last season where people recognized the probable good qualities he had and BB even set him up against Sree like the bad guy/good guy thing. But KVB was just a lost person, he had no idea how to play the game and he was simply like an extra prop to provide whatever sort of entertainment was needed and was used by the likes of literally everyone in the house. I hugely fear Rashami will become like that and be retained only for her popularity and Channel's soft corner for her. She will be taken upto the finale with WKW bashing and mocking.
But this WKW MUST be an eye opener for her, she was spoon fed literally everything from Vishal not giving a damn about her whereas she wanted him to become a captain and also about the taunt of Mahira being shown more than her which implied she needs to sort her loyalties and play for herself alone.
If Rashami simply left all her outside baggage, stopped being this Mother India to everyone who wants her sympathy/pity and let herself out of her shell she would definitely give a strong competition to anyone. Because she's now stuck in a situation where if she gives attention to Shukla she will called as targetting him and if she doesn't BB team will find someone to tell her that she's not visible. The only way ahead is to smartly ignore Shukla and also change dynamics by actually trying to form a group with Debo and maybe Khesari also which will help her loyalties.
Somewhere I feel Shukla will pay attention to her this week, he will not want her to leave soon I believe. It will be interesting to watch each of them warm up to each other and other's reactions like how confused the house was in S11 when Vikas and Shilpa patched up for a week and everyone went crazy.
