This is a well written and presented post Khamosshh, though I disagree with most of the points and the picture that it paints of Bani.
The only point I'd like to counter here, however, is the violence one. The episode clearly depicted that Bani began the violence. And there is an uncut video which shows how the phone wire was disconnected, and yet Bani pretended to continue the conversation, and thereafter charged at Lopa post the buzzer going off. There was premeditation there.
I was going to watch the full uncut clipping and reply, but am not able to find it on voot now. Anyways watched what was shown in epi. This is what happened after the buzzer sounded and the call came to an end. Bani marched angrily towards Lopa but she was not physical. And by not being physical I mean not touching Lopa at all. She was pointing her fingers towards Lopa and dats when Lopa grabbed Bani's hand and Bani brushed her hand away to break free. That was the first instance of them getting physical and hence I maintain that Lopa started it. Yes she was waiting for the call to end to confront Lopa, but no ways was she going physical. But Lopa by grabbing Bani's hand got physical first. And as for pretending to continue convo., even in d epi clipping watch carefully. After Bani banged the phone, Manu asked Lopa if she could hear and Lopa said yes she could and in fact in the full clipping of the fight 2/3 times Lopa said she could hear Bani, so how did Bani lie when Lopa could clearly hear her and I assume Bani too could hear her? And I had seen a post made on this whole incident and the whole thing wrongly interpreted, but at that time I was busy and could not post there. And dat's exactly what I mean by my topic, about how glaringly false allegations have been made against Bani.
What Salman said was that had Lopa not done anything - had she simply had her hands raised, Bani would've gotten nominated - because the latter started it. Some see what Lopa did as retaliation - some see it as self-defence, as she initially had her hands raised while the other HMs attempted to dislodge Bani's grip around Lopa, and only after did the latter attempt to free herself. But regardless of the view one takes on that - it was Bani who began the violence therein. And this was her 3rd instance of it - no mention by BB/Salman of the first two ever, and no punishment on the third.
As for the first the first 2 instance. In case of violence the HMs have to first lodge protest against the said HM for BB to take action and that did not happen. According to that Manveer and Manu had been more violent much before against Om but as no one raised the voice it was overlooked. Same with the case of Rohan accidentally knifing Bani. In fact in dat instance Om did try to milk the situation, but Bani let the whole thing go and hence rohan was simply reprimanded. Other than these there have been other cases too of violence, which in other seasons had led to eviction, but in this season have been overlooked for the simple reason that the HMs themselves did not demand action.
