In the last season
of the television show - Bigg Boss, the host Salman Khan was termed as biased
by many watching and ardently following the same. Some said if Salman can so
strongly advocate the eviction of Kushal Tondon (accused of hitting an inmate intensionally)
he should have done the same in case of Tanisha Mukherjee pushing him.
I in here, have a
couple of very simple and straight forward questions. Which one is worse - a
man hitting a woman or a woman hitting a man? Secondly, should you sacrifice
principles and rules for money?
To start with the
first one, i think man hitting a woman is totally demeaning and unacceptable
and cannot be justified under any circumstances. Merely for the fact that by
definition man is supposed to be physically stronger than a woman.
At the same time a
woman hitting a man is even worse and more often than not i would blame the
male counterpart to be at fault. Women are gentle, sensitive, caring and by
nature nonviolent. Hence if a certain woman hits a man imagine the magnitude at
which she is hurt so as to have compelled he r to become violent. Hence a man
who has forced her to reach such an extent should be punished.
In our context,
Kushal, who had no personal grudge against Tanisha still target her in the ‘Box’
task and many others to come (later on claiming that it was because of the
clash between Gauhar and Tanisha). He himself got out of the box in less than a
minute or so which clearly indicated his disinterest in the task. Now if he
goes on to generate plans on how to evict the competing group and concludes
that targeting Tanisha would be easier than the rest is clearly unjustifiable.
Why was he so interested in winning the task all of a sudden? If you can go to
such an extent, trying to anger a lady whom you had claimed to be your
sister-like in the initial day of the house, Tanisha’s act of pushing him aside
was completely justifiable and so was of the host Salman Khan who tried to
explain things to a certain Kushal Tandon. If this is biased then i guess
Cavalry is dead.
Secondly, when
kushal was banished from the house on the grounds of intentionally hitting Andy
( another house mate) certain viewers desired to have him back and for the TRP and monitory reasons Kushal was called back
into the house. If the channel has made a rule that hitting an inmate would not
be permissible on any grounds/ under any circumstances then I guess they must
have the dignity to abide by it. On the occasion of kushal being eradicated
from the house, his friend Gauhar (again for whom the fight between Andy and
Kushal was instigated) left the house along with Kushal stating Bigg Boss was
unfair on doing so and she would rather leave. If that be the case, I wonder
what light of knowledge she got overnight which alarmed her to return (Possibly
monetary reasons). So in here we see three very strange but prominent elements
of the society-
1. The producers of Bigg Boss, who once evicted Kushal
for what he had done and then recalled him for no given reason. Can Bigg Boss
Producers justify this? How for money and TRPs they compromised on principles.
2. Similarly for Gauhar. If she believed in Kushal and
thought he was justified, why would she return unless kushal was taken back?
Reasons might be pretty much same as in the first case.
If the host, who also is an individual and
member of the human society, raises his voice against all this and condemns
them for behaving in the manner that they did, IS HE BIASED against Kushal?
Knowing the fact that Salman Khan has no occasion to be against Kushal Tandon
who happens to be from his school, who claims to be a big fan of the actor,
will he for no sane reason impound his own fan? One
more thing I shall want to highlight, that is about the comments that kushal
made after eviction and the ways in which he behaved apparently to gain
publicity at the cost of Salman Khan. He must be reminded of the fact that once
upon a time an aspiring actor tried to do the same calling upon press
conferences and shit to defame salman and gain popularity today he barely
exists in the industry. So chap try attaining success through hard work an and
dignity rather than finding an easier way out that would take you nowhere.
