Yes, the Shilpa Shinde audio is not only severely damning and shocking, but is also unsurprising given his behavior in the show so far. Yes, Shukla wished death upon her. Yes, Shukla pinned her down and forced himself upon her. Yes, Shukla refused to break up with her and demanded that she stop requiring him to 'beg for love.' Yes, he called her abusive words and told her she would never be happy in life. Yes, he might even have raised his hands and pushed her out of a moving car like she claims.
But we all saw season 11, and how Shilpa used to behave with Vikas. Usne zaroor Sidharth ko POKE kiya hoga! She loves to poke. Mujhe toh lagta hai ki Shilpa and Asim must be siblings separated at birth. Maybe they were adopted by one Maharashtran and one Kashmiri family. Waisebhee jo log apne maap-baap ke sage nahee hote, woh kisike sage nahee hote.
Shukla is the most real contestant.
Aggressive = real.
Misogynistic = real.
Assaultive = real.
Sl*t-shaming = real.
Bullying = real.
Rashmi, Asim, Sana are all fake because they have not shown their 'real' sides like Shukla.
Even in such an unfair society with double-standards, he believes in gender equality. That is why he physically assaulted Sana, threw tea on Rashmi's face, and allegedly went physical with Shilpa. Why should he push Asim, but not push women? He is a hero. What an amazing person. Whole society is against violence against women, but he still hits them - One Man Army for sure.
Please vote for him. Makers are using him for TRP. Yes, the whole edit has revolved around him, his violence and abuse has been excused, his misogyny has been defended by the most influential superstar of the country with millions of impressionable young fans, his dirty language has been normalized, he has been consistently portrayed as the hero in promos/weekends, his popularity has sky-rocketed, and he is one of the highest paid housemates. But if he doesn't win the trophy then makers are biased. Asim is the real damaad. Its so obvious. Sympathy king sala poke karta hai humesha.
