To the Point:
Until the Press conference happened - Teja was just another person in the house and I felt she lacked a game, owing to the whole TejRan scenario. Her personality in all these weeks seems to be that of a sweet, mellow girl who really isn't interested in screaming, dominating and conflicts. She avoided embracing the rivalry offered to her on a plate against Shamita - by Shamita herself and BB Makers who tried to push that narrative against her in the first 3-4 weeks. But WOW - Teja shined in the press conference. The media targeted her quite a bit, conveniently ignoring Shamita's dirty games, biases, privileges.
When Teja and Karan smiled to themselves when Pratik was being bashed a week ago - that was 'snickering' according to some weirdos, but the fact that Shamita, Pratik, Rajiv, Jay - where hooting when Teja was answering, laughing and clapping was nothing short of bullying Teja. Teja and Karan looked like the better person here and it exposed Pratik, Shamita, Rajiv, Neha & gang!
I also loved how Teja gave it back that gang sitting behind and snorting like losers & I loved it how she gave it back to that woman in the press who accused her of using the 'Woman card'. I am impressed by Teja! That girl did NOT back down, but gave it back to everyone including the press for falsely accusing her of using the 'Woman card'. Now - this I feel was Teja's best day for us - who are outside and who saw her shine, even though she may have found it tough in the moment.
Teja was truly the One Woman Army here taking on the rest. To me, she's earned her spot in the Top 2! I would ideally love to see Teja & Umar as the top 2! If not for one of them - Karan in the top 2 as well!
Teja is the New Divya? - Shamita Shetty the possible Reason for Teja being targetted by Makers?
I believe the reason they targetted her was due to some involvement and possible narrative given by the Makers themselves. The fact that the Makers did not allow the audience to choose the Top 5 & let the Press choose the Top 5 - is so that they could fit Shamita in the Top 5, as she does NOT have as much fans to vote her into top 5. Jay who doesn't do anything and Simba - they have more fans than her!
But because the Makers SO blantantly try to push Shamita in the game, they have ALWAYS targetted any other female contestant that could be a good competition to Shamita. This has happened in the past with OTT as well! When Divya was seen as a huge competition to Shamita - Karan Johar jumped at attacking Divya!
Teja hasn't been shown in a good light in the show too and almost all questions that get chosen in the WKV where supposed 'Janta' ask twisted questions also get asked to people in the show that are against Shamita - either for real or by default or 'percieved' as enemies by Shamita. So obviously maximum questions were asked to Teja & Karan even during the WKVs.
And now AGAIN - In the press conference, the person that was targetted the most was Teja and Karan as well for obvious reasons! They are Shamita's 'percieved' rivals in the show! So anything that can make Teja look bad infront of the audience is a boon to Shamita - according to the Makers.
But that's not going to work - as the audience is able to see through the bias!
