It reminds me of high school: the bullies namecall and bother you because they want one thing - reaction. So you can do 2 things: react and give them what they want and they come back for more or remain unaffected because eventually they get bored.
@blue - I think everyone is disrespectful towards ankit - chugili gang and even priyanka. I don't think one form of disrespect makes it better than another kind. I think what makes Priyanka's disrespect vs other groups different is that she's his close friend. Generally, we have an expectation that our close ones treat us with respect.
@green - I never said. Ankit clearly said he enjoys being with Priyanka and that's why he came to the show with her. I just don't like the way she treats him sometimes. Sure she cares for him but that doesn't give her a free pass to treat him like that.
And I also never said Priyanka has a free pass for anything. I simply said that the fixation on how Priyanka talks to him is not the major issue IMO since Ankit is not managing to be effective in conveying himself on his own. Constantly putting the blame on that for Priyanka seems to be the easiest route for everyone without granting Ankit any agency to handle himself.
On one hand everyone seems to like that Ankit is not aggressive or combative like the rest of the guys in the house, but at the same time people are quick to paint him some bechara who can't assert himself only because of Priyanka....lol she hasn't tied him up in chains. He has said himself multiple times that HE is the one who seeks her out more in the house cuz he doesn't like the rest of them much😆....but somehow she is the reason for his downfall as per the narrative set by people inside and outside the house😆
There are sooooo many WAY worse OPENLY ABUSIVE things being done by most of the people in that house so I personally am not able to find the bandwidth to outrage over Priyanka snapping at Ankit a few times😆. And it's not like Ankit doesn't snap back back at her....but lol there people seem to think his soft spoken retorts are ineffective but the same soft spoken retorts are apparently effective against bully gang somehow.
Re: bullying....this is not like a regular high school bullying situation. You can go home at the end of the day in a school after being bullied in one incident that you may choose to ignore giving a reaction to. In this house, they are all stuck together 24/7....letting others walk over you like this will only keep escalating their disrespect of you.
