I have never been part of a forum, never voted for anyone for a reality show let alone watch one completely.I always thought this show was a pathetic excuse for a reality show and out of work actors and models come here in desperation to save their careers and are mercilessly exploited in the name of good entertainment (this may hold good to some extent even now π ). But it is this ridiculous show that introduced me to Niketan. A model by profession, An Engineer through education, A knowledgeable decent gentleman by choice. He never stops to amaze me. His intelligence...he's one smart cookie and I never expected a model to talk so fondly about Newton's laws, Cloud types, Quantum physics, spiritual healing all at the same time. He cannot be restricted to just a few things and his outlook towards life, his general attitude, not to mention his sense of humour( which was sometimes out of line and weird tooπ) and most importantly his ability to accept good in people in spite of his differences with them and the list goes on. One of the best qualities that just made me melt and become his fan is, barring Imam he never let anyone feel isolated and always checked on people and diverted them( Also I don't think Imam ever felt isolated, he loved being alone). Especially when Sapna was depressed and locked herself in the loo, all were engrossed in talking...he went and sat with her till she was settled.He was the same to everyone in the house.This guy is almost perfect, even his insecurities, outbursts of anger, his insensitive behaviour seemed justified. He was the only reason for me to watch the show and for me he was the most entertaining of the lot and this is my kind of entertainment. The only thing which is making me sad right now is that I don't get to stalk him any moreπ. I will miss him terribly, he has been a very good influence. Irrespective of the results, he's an Arabi ghoda of that house!
And a special mention to this AT and its members, you reflect his principles and your interactions seem to be decent and just, glad to be a part of it. π"
