Initially when the task started, Rahul was doing very well as the King of Black Hearts. He was visibly excited that BiggBoss made him a main character in a task. Had it been Rubina, she might have thrown a fit for being given black heart instead of red heart
He understood the game early that people are intentionally making bad hearts for him and so him rejecting Rubina’s hearts was a good strategy
He was also extremely well behaved and respectful towards Rubina. 😊
The problem arose when Abhinav needlessly butted in between Rahul and Rubina’s discussion. I know Abhinav is a very good husband and has natural protective tendency towards his wife and now more so, when he’s trying to come out of his shell. But BB’s task was about the King and Queen discussing among themselves. No one else from any of the teams butted in. Abhinav should realize that inside the BB house, he’s not Rubina’s husband but just another housemate and competitor. 😲 “Sasta wakeel” was a very apt term to describe Abhinav’s behavior
Then Abhinav started personal attacking Rahul. Rahul calls “nalla” all the time it’s not a gaali in his dictionary and neither in my dictionary. Heck Rahul calls himself “nalla” too most of the times and if I know this by watching just the episodes- Rubhinav must know this by living 24/7 inside the house with him
Abhinav then “triggered” Rahul by going constantly at his profession. If calling him classless, having bad upbringing, sadakchaap, uneducated, criminal, characterless with respect to girls etc for 2 months was not enough he went on the thing that Rahul is proud of - that is his singing profession! That was a real low blow. 👎🏼 Rahul was in 11th standard when he did Indian Idol Season 1. He has been working ever since. The guy never got a chance to finish his education and never had a normal youth like most of us. Of course Rahul got triggered and went on to say he had never heard of Abhinav before coming to BB house.
(Btw I too never heard of Abhinav before, I had seen Rubina when she had come in Season 11 to enact scenes if housemates as a colors bahu but had no idea about bahu ka pati ).
Now coming to Rahul. He as we all know has a motor mouth and a sexist thinking. I hate boys who DM random girls in insta and being a girl, I get at least a dozen requests from unknown guys in insta every week and only one word comes into my mind for them- CREEP. Also, this “mard bann”, “ladki mat bann” thing with Rahul. If he thinks doing gossip behind people’s back- the thing that Abhinav does instead of confronting them directly- are ladki-things then he should be sorry for himself.
Honestly I didn’t watch the episode where this insta DM thing was mentioned but I gather from mentions here in the forum that Rahul probably contacted Nikki (and Pavitra?) before start of the show to discuss playing fake love/flirt angle to survive in the show. The ladies not only rightly refused his request but also discussed it inside the house to belittle Rahul. Fair enough. 🤔He did kinda creep thing- thinking if fake showmance when he already had a girl friend outside- and faced the repercussion. But what with Abhinav bringing it in yesterday? It was just to trigger Rahul’s- by now famous- motor mouth to churn some more filth out
That “tann mann” thing that Rahul is being criticized for was clearly Rahul running out of his limited Hindi vocabulary and he shouldn’t be targeted for that. 🥱Also, the “halka” thing he said - he explained it further that Abhinav does halka aka light house work, i.e. parathe talna,and how he wishes he knew how to do make parathas so that he can do these “light” duties. It was no demeaning of Abhinav. Also, I see no harm in saying that me being a single- not formally committed- guy can still DM a girl in insta but of course you being a married man can’t.
Bottomline: Yes, Rahul has a sad definition of “ladki” and “mard” and his mouth needs urgent filtering but Abhinav IMO seems to be a whole lot more wrong in these arguments.
Call me Rahul’s fokat ka wakeel if you want to- I don’t give a damn!
