Who has not played dirty? Many have.
Also he maybe a novice, but he's the one who has literally done his HW and come. What is wrong in that? He came well prepared. He was desperate for a love angle. He was not looking for love angle. He was just kidding. He does need love angle to survive in this game. He and Rashmi don’t behave desperate like Leshasn/Meisha or Karan/Teja. Unfortunately for him the possibilities like vidhi n Donal exited the show too early n meisha and teja got taken.
Even when he won the VIP task and had to take other HMs, he said that he doesn't want Simba n pratik coz he said that they r his competition in terms of people voting for them as he felt that their vote bank would be similar. I did not see this is ever a case. It is your imagination. .
As for playing independently, this too I don't agree. He has always made alliances. Every solo player each season has made alliance in task. You can’t win task alone without alliance. But he didn't want a permanent alliance and that's y many times he tried to break free from karan n in fact try to have a rivalry like sid asim. But Karan never let him go, as karan needed the numbers. Karan was depended on Umar and others. Umar was not depended on anyone. Umar made alliance with vishal but he got evicted. The. With rajiv. He actually makes alliances (won't call them friendships) as per the game. Rajiv is screaming on every live chat saying - Umar was my best friend after Shamita in the house, I want Umar to win. He has been sucking up to Rakhi as he told Rashmi that she was the VIP and getting her to their side would help and also told Rashmi to patch up with her. Well many have done chugli to win other side. Now rakhi is totally pro umar n umar has been subtlely bitching against Teja n rakhi being rakhi is now behind Teja. Rakhi once stood by Teja against Umar and Karan. Umar played smart to win her as she has power.
Also I guess umar considers top 2 to be karan and him or karan n teja n hence has been relentless in attacking Teja since weeks. I don't think he's even interested to know that he had misconceptions about Teja n that Teja didn't make alliances with others to play against him n karan. For him truth doesn't matter. He just needs to go against a tough competition and who better than Teja. Your last line in RED answers for the paragraph.
He has blatantly lied and created fissures between HMs. Again especially vis-a-vis Teja. If it would have been Teja who would have done something like this, people would have been saying for her blood. Is this not part of the game. It is how you build rapport with housemates. For example Nishant bitches most in the house. But he is not called out for it, because of the relation he has build with everyone.
Don't like the way salman behaves with umar, but keeping that aside, what salman says about umar is pretty much accurate. I agree he is aggressive. Everyone has flaws.
Edit:
Just mentioned umar gamewise. Don't even want to start on his behaviour. I am sure there will be bigger unaccepted behavior list of few that may be longer than Umar.
My replies in BLUE. 😊
