and no wonder they have shown this picture of india to them therefore people like jade guddy say go back to ur slums and all. nd in oscar also they take only pictures like water where they show the bad side of india or satyajit rays.

may be they dnt wnt their people to knw that india is developing and the ydnt wnt their people to visit india. 🤢

Very right and thats waht the Min of EA commented upon and taken action against the biassed perspective of these programs. But the hidden agenda is that it helps raising aid. These prejudices stay in the minds but on the contrary outsourcing is an issue with them that means they are aware we have development. My conclusion "money" speaks both ways.

[QUoTE=Realitybites]Giving her close competition is Rakhi Sawant All she did was clamoring repeatedly I am ready to apologise to public if I am commiting indecent exposure! She is asking the public?? She needs lessons in civic manners



This has been debated endlessly in the Bigg Boss forum, where participants like Buffie wrote much against Rakhi's behaviour in the show as well as out of the show.

I would like to point out, once again, even though many find it irrelevant, from what I have gathered, Rakhi Sawant did not receive a good quality education. She was raised up in an uncouth manner, which is clearly reflected in her demeanour. But, I reiterate, this does not excuse her for wearing minimal clothing. Probably to get noticed. But then, one can also accuse Mallika Sherawat of the same.

So I don't see any wrong in Rakhi Sawant saying that she would like to know from the public if she has ruining her image... because (as inferred from the Bigg Boss show) I inferred that her mind is like an open book, and she is a bit slow in realising if she is doing indecent exposure or not.

Rohit

as far as the clothes issue of rakhi is concerned there r worse people than rakhi who r educated high class stil they wear worse clothes but they r praised for that the yr called bold and beautiful. y do we accuse only poor rakhi for this?

I understand your viewpoint Rohit.

The Rakhi Sawant comment is based on her interview to Prabhu Chawla's "Seedhi Baat" on 'Aaj-Tak' and thats all what she did to all the provocative questioning by Mr Chawla. May be Mr Chawla did not realise that she is less educated and less smart/clever than him or Rakhi shd have been prepared for the interview.

I did watch some episodes of Bigg Boss and yes Rakhi showed a different unknown and more humane side of her to public . Her privations in life became public from this show. The general public was oblivious to this before. In Big Boss she was definitely entertaining and did act well in tragedy task given by BB. In fact I thought that she was a potential winner along with Ravi Kissen. The media reports indicate that she has been offered great roles in good projects in Hindi movies.

What she wears is her choice and I have never judged her based on that. The field of glamour requires certain exposure and anyone joining has to comply. I would not expect this of a Doctor or a Scientist😆. In no way it demeans her or any other person (male/female). Like they say 'indecent' to one is termed "Art" by another so better avoid getting judgmental.

Definitely a touch of refinement always helps but loosing her true self wld harm her more. Her fans adore her for what she is. .



Thanks Realitybites, for understanding my viewpoint.😃
(Im so sorry I don't know your real name inspite of corresponding on PM!)

Unfortunately, I have not seen Rakhi Sawant's interview on Aaj Tak with Prabhu Chawala. Infact, I had no interest in Rakhi Sawant as such before Bigg Boss as I thought of her as the common mass did : 'gandi-fandi' Item girl.

But during BB and after BB, where I saw stuff like Rakhi getting easily influenced by Kashmira Shah, or the ganging up against Rakhi by Kashmira and others (Carol, Ravi, Rahul and Amit), I felt pity for her. MOst of us have seen people who's minds are like open books and feel pity that they do not have the ability to keep these thoughts, both good and bad, to themselves, as they get into trouble for what they say.

Rakhi is a 'moohphat'. She says what comes into her mind at that exact time. That's probably why she is so entertaining in Bigg Boss. That's what led protestors like Buffie to criticise her "crassy" behaviour in Bigg Boss. That's also what also led her fans, like me, Sumesh, BigBoss_No.1 etc to love her and respect her.

So whether you like or dislike Ms. Sawant, one thing remains : you cannot ignore her! 😃😆 [That's also what tehy say about Karan Johar in the KwK ad! 😆]

BTW Amen to your last comment! We Indeed love her for what she is, straight, blunt, innocent (in a certain manner)!

Rohit

PS: I really loved what you had to say about the portrayal of India in foreign countries. Agreed, India is still a developing country, but people have matured and India's economy is booming. Rural India is also being developed [though a bit slowly] and Urban Indians are very much comparable with the so-called 'high-class' US urban public. Most Urban Indians remember their culture when dealing with citizens of other countries (I am making a reference to Shilpa Shetty and Big Brother here), and that's what makes them so special and unique! 😃

Very true. If you had seen Page 3 (Madhur Bhandarkar's film), you would agree even more to this.

You are welcome, Rohit.

Let me introduce myself here: Hi Rohit , I am Lavanya.

Unfortunately, I have not seen Rakhi Sawant's interview on Aaj Tak with Prabhu Chawala. Infact, I had no interest in Rakhi Sawant as such before Bigg Boss as I thought of her as the common mass did : 'gandi-fandi' Item girl.

MOst of us have seen people who's minds are like open books and feel pity that they do not have the ability to keep these thoughts, both good and bad, to themselves, as they get into trouble for what they say.

True I too saw a different aspect of her personality in BB. Yes, she has the earthly quality which touched the hearts of many people.

Rakhi is a 'moohphat'. She says what comes into her mind at that exact time. That's probably why she is so entertaining in Bigg Boss. That's what led protestors like Buffie to criticise her "crassy" behaviour in Bigg Boss. That's also what also led her fans, like me, Sumesh, BigBoss_No.1 etc to love her and respect her.

Yes you have rightfully said that Rakhi is outspoken. But at times one needs to rephrase our words and select a more appropriate word so that we dont end up hurting or being misconstrued. May be at times Rakhi unintentionally ended hurting the sensitivities of other inmates. Being in the media limelight she shd have toned down or learnt certain nuances. After all in our society we are brought up on politeness and tolerance.


BTW Amen to your last comment! We Indeed love her for what she is, straight, blunt, innocent (in a certain manner)!

Finally thanks for your views on the topic.😳 Yes we as Indians to need to be more discreet in watching such programs and those abroad can really enlighten their fellow citizens.

Hi Lavanya! Pleased to chat on IF! 😆😃

Yep, it is true. Most people felt touched because somewhere they felt the same quality within them.

Rakhi is a 'moohphat'. She says what comes into her mind at that exact time. That's probably why she is so entertaining in Bigg Boss. That's what led protestors like Buffie to criticise her "crassy" behaviour in Bigg Boss. That's also what also led her fans, like me, Sumesh, BigBoss_No.1 etc to love her and respect her.

May be at times Rakhi unintentionally ended hurting the sensitivities of other inmates. Being in the media limelight she shd have toned down or learnt certain nuances. After all in our society we are brought up on politeness and tolerance.

Here you are 100% correct about how to speak in Public as one would not speak in public as one would speak in private with those one is comfortable with. Definetly Rakhi's (shall we say) disadvantage was that she said whatever came to her mind and not chew up her words and think before saying, which caused all the problems with the other Bigg Boss inmates.

This is why I said that from what I have gathered, she has not received a 'good quality' education and due to this, the uncouth manner she poccesses explains why she still hasn't learnt what not to say and when not to say in public.

But that's why her fans love her. Because of her spontaineity. Because of her 'moohphatness'. Some people dislike it, but each one to their own!😃😛

BTW Amen to your last comment! We Indeed love her for what she is, straight, blunt, innocent (in a certain manner)!

Yes, and Indians are doing this as well. More and more NRIs are returning back to India, and if you have heard a recent release, 'The Namesake' [both book and film now], it addresses an ABCD's [American Born Confused Desi] return to roots! More and more people, who had left India for a better future are returning.
