If you’re not reading comments like Abhinav deserves it — it’s Karma — he encouraged it to get footage (implying he asked for it) then we’re not reading the same forum.
I don’t care about Rubina or Abhinav being the shittiest people that ever walked this earth. They very well could be... and still this wouldn’t be right.
I was called a racist for asking Why is personal space in India such a novice issue. I can only tell you my experience and based on that what I see I kinda feel it is sad what I’m seeing.
It wasn’t intended to be whataboutery - it was intended to draw a parallel. For me - such statements shouldn’t be made by any of the contestants - because this is BB - and as BB’s history has proven, one person’s treasure is another’s trash and vice versa. Unless it’s a Swami Om throwing his pee - which I’m guessing everyone would agree is not entertainment.
People commenting on Rubina’s reaction and what she’s saying to and about Rakhi/the audience is hardly people victim blaming Abhinav. Rubina absolutely does, IMO, have a penchant for creating dramatic scenes in her adarsh bahu mode. Doesn’t mean I’m saying she’s not entitled to say something to Rakhi.
I haven’t read what you’ve said above - I can only speak for myself, and I don’t believe in victim-blaming. I’ve said - multiple times - that Rakhi needs to be told off and told to back off.
I don’t see why people pointing out the kappal’s hypocrisy alongside saying Rakhi is wrong 100%, is an issue or victim-blaming. The same Abhinav and Rubina that vilified Eijaz for a hi5 an arm’s length away, were repeatedly dashing into Rahul’s personal space (and Ally’s too for Abhinav), and even pushed him - multiple times.
Them being pathologically lying hypocrites, out to pull others down, and Rakhi being wrong in what she did, are not mutually exclusive IMO.
