I think we'd all unanimously agree that BB has a history of treating contestants like absolute and utter bull crap. Whether or not they deserved it is a matter of difference of opinions. Over the last 13 seasons, there has been innumerable cases where people have been told or made to feel like sh*t either implicitly or explicitly, whether by Salman or through various guests or by BB himself.
Do I personally like or approve such a work tactic or ethic? Absolutely not. It has always been and it will always be condemnable. People's personal and professional lives have been tarnished miserably and horrifically for them to watch, bear and answer to. Some recent examples would be Rashmi, Asim, Paras, Vishal and Arhaan and if you go back to previous seasons, you'll find plenty of such contestants who were mocked, insulted and demeaned to the extreme.
Is Salman's humour crass? Yes, mostly. But is he doing it for the first time or something? Nope.
Now, the most important part, please, let's just stop bullshitting ourselves that Rubina and/or her Abhinav didn't watch BB before they signed up. Does that mean they're BB fanatics and knew every single tid bit? No. Are they lying through their teeth about not having watched the episodes? Most certainly. It only means that they knew enough about BB, how the show functions, what generally happens there and everything that was crucial for them to know. Each contestant does his own R&D apart from being provided all the relevant and important information before signing the contract. No one, I repeat, no one just blindly enters.
My argument here is not that Rubina doesn't have the right to self respect, shouldn't voice her issues or opinions or shouldn't take on the host or the BB head on whenever and however required. She entitled to being treated like a professional employee with all her rights reserved. Having said, you know what you signed up for and you most definitely know how it's played. So, quit being so naive and being asked to fed everything like you're a toddler. You're not. You are a grown up woman and a professional in the industry.
Also, my own personal beef with her is the fact that she doesn't think twice before mocking, taunting and shaming people for the backgrounds and places they have come from. She's an elitist to the T and highly condescending and is mostly twisting her own words and functioning of ethics or conduct.
Despite all that, if you truly believe that calling your husband 'samaan' (which may be disrespectful to some in a sense but it is not derogatory word at all) is such a grave insult and you absolutely cannot tolerate it and continue to work in that environment, please leave. Leave unhesitatingly. Leave without a doubt. Leave respectfully. Leave in an instant. Leave despite the contract and it's associated clause that you will require you to pay a bomb to the show for quitting.
Par nahi karni na? Machao yaar, chillam chilli, rona dhona, natak nautanki, sab machao. But do it on things that make sense in this universe.
I rest my case. (:
That is my biggest qualm. BB more so Salman treats contestants utter shit and they have enforced it time to time take or leave it. People are taking it as acceptable behavior is not the right thing, tbh...
Salman might have murdered some contestant and BB-universe let him go doesn't mean Rubina can not put forth her resentment to something she feels disrespectful. (It doesnt matter she has seen BB or not.. (ofcourse I agree with you she is lying here)).
Standing up for oneself is a valuable trait. She told BB & Salman that there is a line and dont cross it. Now its BB and Salman call to apologise or to mock her entire season or to tacitly evict her or to make her life hell for the time she is in BB house. But their reaction is on them.
