It's not a question of whether people sympathize with her or not. It sometimes doesn't even concern Rakhi. This is a TV show, afte rall.

Some people just believe in decency, and don't want to hear others condemning people left and right. For example, some people, self-appointed judges of Indian culture, started condemning things in this forum. Sharing opinion is one thing, claiming judgment is something different altogether. Maybe this is also the same thing Ashwin didn't understand. He wasn't asking questions, but his tone and his intent contained judgment in them. He was deeply insecure.

Now this doesn't just concern Rakhi, but it concerns everyone who wants to be open minded about culture and open to change. Those who are disappointed in Ashwin are not disappointed because they care about Ashwin or Rakhi, but because there ARE men like that out there, and there are people who think it is okay to insult another person on the basis of very narrow-minded and regressive views. It's not "macho," or anything worth praising, it's plain disgusting.

It is narrow-minded people in this forum who have continuously baited decent people into "defending" Rakhi. For example, I have not defended Rakhi, but I have pointed out reasons why I don't judge her. She is providing entertainment, and I watch the show to relax. She doesn't mean anything to me personally, but as a woman, I find it pretty degrading when some people say rude and sexist things about women. As a woman, I also appreciate that this woman has guts, she is honest, bold, and does not cower in the face of narrow-minded individuals who have nothing better to do than pass judgment on her.

Sorry but I didn't like how Aswin asked about her Physical relationship I don't think that was right I mean come on when people get engaged do they ask have you ever slept with someone? I think that was totally wrong he didn't respect Rakhi at all. Yeah I don't like they way she acts but that doesn't mean she's always like that. I am a married women and if someone asked me a question like that I'll be mad but he was asking her live. I am glad she eliminated him.

From the other thread on Ashwin, these are two posts I really agree with. Quoting them here because they make really good points:

Originally posted by: samirah23



I think the questions he asked were good questions - and it's good to ask questions.
But, the way he asked the questions was very hurtful. He fired one quedstion after another - there was no love or respect in the way that he asked. If I were him, I would have phrased the questions:

"Rakhi, I love you so much and I have so much respect for you. But, there are questions in my mind that every man wants to know about his wife and I hope that none of them will be offensive to you. I do not want to hurt you, but I want to know everything about you ... "

Then, he could go on to ask his questions - and when she gave the answers (especially about the ones which were touchy for her), he should show her empathy and show that he loves her and respects her.

But, I felt like it was an interview and there was no emotion behind it. Even Elesh said he wanted to ask her a lot of personal questions, but he felt the forum for doing this was not good - he didn't want to embarass her on national television because he respects her too much for this ... he was mature about it and told her so - that there is so much he wants to know about her personally, but he can't ask her on television. He wanted to ask her privately.

I think Ashwin's approach was just wrong, and if he had approached me like this, I would have b een offended. I have no issues with talking about my life, and we know that Rakhi also doesn't - but his approach and lack of respect in the way that he asked was uncalled for.

My personal views on his apporoach & my reason for being against it.



The questions he asked were absolutely filthy & depicted his cheap or insecure mentallity. When he is here to marry Rakhi , it is clear that without liking her, he wudn't have participated in the swayamvar ..but if he wants to clear all these things & know abt her past completely , then why didn't he analyise this before liking her. What is the use of asking all this & what role does the past have to play in their future? & knowing the famous personality Rakhi is , it is obvious that no chapter in her past was hidden from the audience.

Every move she took was captured by the media & became a topic of gossip & controversies. She is a celeb , it is very natural that her past life is an open book in front of all of us. I seriously didn't understand what was Ashwin trying to prove by making her repeat her painful past , knowing the fact how uncomfortable she was with it.He shud have been sensitive towards her! & by asking all of them all over again , what is he going to gain? or is he so calculative that based on her answers , he will decide if he wants to marry her or not? So he is placing conditions for the two of them ? It clearly shows he doesn't love her! If he did , he wudn't have coaxed her abt her past as a result of that love should be unconditional.

There was a reason to ask rakhi,...everyone doubts her character.She is a celebrity.No one will ask a decent woman..rakhi is a decent lady but the world thinks otherwise,because of her job,so ashwin asked that question.

I liked the way Ashwin was bold enough to ask all the questions he wanted.Rakhi was testing the dulhas all the time.After all even they are going to marry rakhi and have every right to ask her.rakhi is used to being pampered by the dulhas..they are supposed to just nod and say yes to her.I liked it when Aswin said..shd I just say yes to everything you say???

good ashwin..way to go...rakhi shd be questioned and it is the right of the dulhas to know too.Others are just acting too good and when aswin was st forward,she didn't like it 😕

I am with you on this one.. there was nothing wrong with Ashwin's questions.. he wants to marry Rakhi and has every right to know about all these things.. only his way of asking was not right.. but then he is no actor like rest of them to sugar coat his words. What he said was true... Rakhi wants a someone who would just nod to whatever she says.. she doesn't like when someone questions her..
Also about Manmohan.. why was she so mad to know about Anjali? Everyone has a past.. she does too.. even if he is still friends with her or wants to marry her if not Rakhi.. what's wrong? She herself is looking into multiple options.. is calling them all her "dulhas".. is saying mushy mushy things to all of them.. going on dates with all of them.. 😕 it is all fair and when a boy has his options it becomes unfair and insulting?

welcome bhradwaj to this forum,😊.I am married too.I think,they don't get any other chance to talk with rakhi,except LIVE..since it is reality show...that is why he must have asked..after all,she is his prospective future wife.

They have referred several times to having conversations on camera and off camera. Even Elesh said when talking about Ashwin that Ashwin doesn't know what to say on camera and off camera. And, Elesh even said that he wanted to talk to Rakhi off camera. Today Manmohan's mother asked to speak with Rakhi off camera. So, that shows that he could have spoken to her off camera.
My husband asked me a lot of personal questions when we got married. I also asked him these questions. We did it out of earshot of anyone so that we could keep this converation between us. As I mentioned before I have no concerns with anyone asking anything. A husband has a right to ask the questions if he has concerns. But, to interrogate her, and to ask her as if it was an interview ... that's not the right way to do it.
