There are so many factors that contribute to a hesitancy in speaking up - you’d be surprised at how many rich and influential people who are otherwise outspoken, find it difficult to confront about such things (promoting a corporate speak up culture is part of my work).
It’s nonetheless always surprising to me why people won’t just deal with something the way it should be dealt with. But people are different, I guess, and everyone’s got their motivations and limitations.
So while I would hope and expect that Rajiv would directly confront these people - I hope BB/Sallu have some sharam left and will make clear that this kinda thing isn’t acceptable.
But I’ve watched this show for long enough to say pretty confidently - that BB/Sallu will not deal with this as they should do.
For instance - in S.11 Shilpa would playfully spank Hiten’s bum - he didn’t like it, and he said so - repeatedly. She continued with it anyway. All Sallu had to say about it on the weekend was (to Hiten): “sawari apne samaan ki khud zinmedaar hain”. While Priyank, on the other hand, was bashed left and right (and rightfully so) for body shaming.
Disclaimer: I’m not saying these instances are the same - I’m simply drawing a parallel in terms of how BB tend to deal with such stuff conveniently.
I understand and agree with what your saying because I have seen these kind of incidents happening in corporate set up and how difficult it is for people to speak up - a lot of mental, emotional and workplace politics coming into play.
BB ya channel se toh mujhe 0.01% ka bhi umeed nahi hai. It's a dirty business and they don't give AF as long as they get money. Koi imandaari nahi hai inme regarding these things thus the content on this channel is the way it is.
In a show like BB and working with a channel like this - it is really upto the contestant to fight it out because there is no other way out of it.
Isliye my confusion again rounds back to the fact - These contestants have signed up for a reality show like this, they must have done SOME homework regarding how low reality shows can get and how dirty the industry is yet why do these people allow themselves to be put through this?
I understand a guy like Eshaan, he is at the bottom of the food chain so this is his bread and butter so as long as he gets publicity and money, he will take it.
But, a man like Rajeev who has money, power and influence, I'm so confused why is he allowing someone like Pratik or Vishal or anyone humiliate him in such a degrading manner on national television?
All I can say from observing Rajeev is that he seems to be gullible - he had no clue what he was signing up for and thought Shamita would have his back throughout the journey.
He probably will never speak up because the man does not know how to tackle this and he made a mistake by coming into this show.
