Even there, Mridul should know his boundaries that it is improper to ask a couple about kids. Only in India is it seen as appropriate. I have seen 40-50 year old women married without kids and no one has dared asked this question about kids.
Now, when the topic is brought up on BB, by the person in question he refreshes it in the audience’s mind, both those of fans who knew him before and those who didn’t. This is a massive error on his part. Makers, incels are to blame, but someone questioning his thought process behind this is not inappropriate in the least. Why would you ever ask an astrologer about baby planning on BB?
It’s not about GK acting like a victim, it’s about him crossing a line of a personal issue on national tv yourself. When Malti questioned Akansha you mention he took her away. Akansha was visibly surprised at this and GK should have simply said the astrologer etc. Instead he subtext mein posed this to her again and she needed to shut this line of thinking down which she did and he looked dejected despite his cover ups which audience lapped up. The audience that lapped this up are his own fans and neutrals why will other people care about painting him as a victim.
That he invited speculation on his marriage is not an incorrect statement. He did. Ek interview pe eyeballs nahin aati, lekin BB episodes pe zaroor aati hai, ye reach aur platform ki baat hai. If we are saying this is about Akansha, let’s hold all parties accountable, though not equally so. To err is human and he has made a mistake.
