Rajiv felt uncomfortable with Pratik's behavior towards him. - Page 4

Apparently Pratik has the intentions of a saint. Rajiv being able to vocalize his discomfort or not is besides the point entirely - fact remains, in what world is it ok to repeatedly joke about and enact shoving a veggie up someone’s butt? On television?! It is not funny. Especially when that someone is not a close friend - Nishant ke saath kare na yeh sab bokwaas Pratik.

And later, when Teja was telling them to cut it out - not a single one of them had the bloody sensitivity to even see that Rajiv was not comfortable - he was not having fun.

But na - Pratik is a well intentioned saint, and everyone else is out to defame him - inside and outside the house. Hadd hain.

They all need sensitivity training, it’s not only him they all indulge in this. Kundra made the sign of his zipper being zipped up and down during the task where nishant was tackled on to the ground indicating youknowwhat in the first two weeks, when they hid junglewaasi stuff. Afsana and Pratik are also wrong but this crass humour is entrenched in our society. I agree as well as a gay man rather any metrosexual man (I think) it’s easy for people to say that to him and he has to laugh it off, doesn’t mean it’s okay but he has to voice it out as not everyone is clued in sadly.

It’s so obvious that just because nishant might be bisexual/or not as conventionally masculine comments are passed on him coupling up with Pratik. Like any male friendship for gay men is equal to love 😆. This should be addressed but have you seen the jokes host makes?

I did mention that the ones laughing and mocking Rajiv later - when Teja told them to cut it out - and none of them clocked how upset Rajiv was there - none of them have a dash of sensitivity or sense.

My point above was simply that just because Rajiv for whatever reason has been unable to confront directly and firmly on this - does not take away the onus on Pratik to know that repeatedly enacting shoving a veggie up Rajiv’s butt on TV - is not ok. The sexist and homophobic jokes, the body shaming - all of that aside - this crap on its own is bad enough and simply not acceptable.

The rest need to have some sense too - to not be making homophobic jokes and mocking and bullying someone - but they weren’t the ones doing that crap with the veggie. Pratik was - and just because Rajiv laughed it off, and laughingly told him to cease, doesn’t give Pratik a pass IMO. This is harassment - plain and simple.

Nishant is toh even more disappointing - he’s been bullied as a kid, and he’s legit continuing to mock Rajiv despite the misery on his face - and Teja telling them to bloody well stop.

See the language used here in this thread ..take action ..

Yup rajiv laughed as he didn’t know what else to do. I agree on that, sometimes you laugh because you freeze up.

My point was simply in our society making such crass jokes on gay men is normalized and it shouldn’t be. Just saying that is why everyone is laughing and finding it funny.

Their community is already marginalised as it is, just let him be, leave him alone, it doesn't reflect good on their masculinity, and Pratik should keep shut, imagine if they constantly spoke abt his lack of height, and how womanly and unmanly it is to be that short that even so many girls are taller than you. He'd be crying

Rajeev did not take a stand for himself - Yes, he should have taken a stand.

Rajeev is still continuing to laugh and joke around with those fools - Yes, that is wrong.

Does that mean Rajeev SHOULD tolerate such harrassment by them in any manner or form just because WE think he is okay post that incident? - HELL NO.

No man nor woman should tolerate it. That was a clear PHYSICAL harrassment carried out, it was action + words, it wasn't just some lewd homophobic joke that was passed at him but he actually went up behind that man and tried to insert some veggie into his backside - That is a NO NO.

No one should ever normalize such behavior even as a joke.

There is boundary that should never be crossed with a person - they set those boundaries for you or you should have enough common sense to understand it.

Rajeev is comfortable with Affo so they play around, Affo has not gone and tried to harrass him in this manner.

Rajeev does not even have half the comfort level with Pratik so what makes this idiot think he can behave in that way? Even if he had the comfort level, why would you degrade a homosexual man in such a way?

Rajeev CLEARLY stated it to Teja that he is UNCOMFORTABLE. The man has said it himself, he did not take weeks or months to make this statement, he said it right after it happened.

So, please to people trying to excuse this behavior by saying that Rajeev is back to being playful ot whatever - it is still wrong, doesn't matter if it was Rajeev or anyone else - it was harrassment.

No person should ever tolerate it.

Sorry I missed this topic... i am anyways subject to watching clips.. and frankly I think i was making my own entertainment with odes and what not...

good u linked it.... the sheer volume of threads on this indicates the level of juntaa ka reaction on this...

Am i surprised --- frankly no... this is what we meant when we said -- removing a latch (even from outside) when a girl is showering is not done.... its indefensible.... esp when someone says its ok if it was his mom/sis....

Surprised - no but expected - also no...... Zero awareness is one thing... but zero moral compass on whats appropriate with another person....

You know the worst part - you can't even wish these people success --- what exactly will this mean if they succeed riding behind their success now? At least not without a strict action now.... You crossed a line, you are evicted.. learn from it else u are done done done....

Btw --- there must be a v old topic on this i had made.. but dude used to keep touching ieshaan ka cheeks also... i made fun out of it and also said it was simply an act to get provocation.. thing is u add all those incidents up... its the exact same (and an increasing pattern) of same ghaiyaapan!!

Please evict him!!!

How the hell bb team are watching this silently

Pratik is completely homophobic and keeps on laughing and making joke on Rajiv on his sexuality.

This behaviour should be seriously condemned.

BB team is shamelessly showing in LF and not taking any action. What kind of ppl r in BB creatives. Do they hold same opinion that it's ok to harass a homosexual person.

Btw --- Can someone make one thread with all the diff clips across so many threads.. just post them in that thread... and then if u on SM -- spam BB/Media outlets with the link to thread... Its clearly a pattern of multiple instances...

Also seeing Rajiv ka convo with Teja -- he is clearly under pressure here... He is uncomfortable and even says things like "he is a strong player - refering to Pratik" and hence is not raising this as an issue but speaking 1-1... but clearly that is often the case with "victims".. some feel so ashamed/scared to speak that they dont complain.. however in this case its on cameras.. episodes... live feed .... and BB team is silent... 🤢

IF has its own media team... does interviews... does articles..

Can someone reach out to them and please ask them to look into this matter and raise this please?? I mean this is actually not about bashing a disliked contestant in any way.. but honestly an extremely important issue!!

Please can you look into this mods/Vijay? and see if you can deploy your media team to raise this extremely important social topic/sexual harassment topic about a show through the lens of an objective reporter by perhaps even BB/colors on camera to answer questions? past contestants etc.. by showing them these clips etc? and then seeking a legit reaction/view on this?

Thanks!
