My take on Bigg Boss 7
As the most hyped show bigg boss 7 has entered into its finale week, wid the famous model and actress Gauhar Khan, actress Tanisha Mukherjee, Vj Andy, international level wrestler Sangram Singh and actor Ajaz Khan as its final contestants, everybody is eagerly waiting for the final word--the name of the proud winner for bigg boss 2013.
Although Bigg Boss has been and still is the most popular reality series on television among youth, this season has seen the most violent and vulgar scenes so far. The quality of entertainement has degraded and the channel producers have stooped down to the level of showing intimate scenes between named stars lyk tanisha mukherjee n armaan kohli, the vulgar acts and clothes of ex-contestant and model Sofia Hayat n even went down to showing Armaan Kohli being arrested on d account of a complaint lodged by a co-contestant just to gain publicity and gather high TRPs.
This season saw two contrasting love stories-- On one hand there was Gauhar Khan and actor and model Kushal Tandon, portraying their innocent and dedicated relationship. Kushal even went on to propose Gauhar telling her that he wanted to grow old with her n the famous actress responded in the affirmative including herself in the names of the very few people who declare their relationships on national tv. Their relationship is being criticised and is believed to be a publicity stunt just to gather votes and to make sure their stay in the house lasts for a long time. They were shown as spending time with each other, having quarels at certain intervals but stood for each other at all instances.
On the other hand, we asw the mysterious love story- if I can call it so- of tanisha mukherjee and armaan kohli-which was portrayed as a very old style love with armaan dominating and shouting at tanisha time and again and tanisha not uttering a word in return. At one place, tanisha acted like a very mature(timid and docile as I would call it) girl who understood the mood-swings of her so-called (boy)friend and allowed herself to be shouted upon, at other places she was often seen as a very insecure and secluded girl who just wanted to fulfill her physical needs. While there are innumerable instances of tanisha nad armaan(tanman as they are popularly called) passionately hugging each other, the camera has also captured them nude-being intimate with each other at night. Many times the viewers have also witnessed tanisha calling over armaan to kiss her in the bathroom or at some places armaan kissing tanisha on the couch. Besides all this, we have never seen armaan respecting tanisha in any way and their love may be interpretted as one-sided.
Then there is the 'clown-of-the-house'--Ajaz Khan- who does everything for the camera. It seems he doesn't have any personal life or maybe he is too ashamed of himself to show his true self on national tv. He has managed to come so far by doing his diplomatic acts(which he calls entertainment) for always being a part of the majority group in the house. He was also seen flirting with Gauhar Khan whom he called his friend but later on he bacl-stabbed gauhar when she understood his tactics and refused to talk to him. Everyone in the house is here to play their game and he is one of them but he is playing a dirty game and doesn't deserve to win because he doesnot have any personal life or personality to show. All he has done so far is changing sides, bitching and back-stabbing.
Next in the row is Sangram Singh who has not managed to gain much attention so far. His only strategy has been not to indulge in groupism or any kind of arguments or fights in the house and play safe. He doesn't have many friends in the house apart from andy whom he call his 'bhai' but hasn't done anything to prove his words yet. As the season is coming to an end and there are no more nominations, he has started showing his true colours-his jatt nature- by disrespecting anybody and everybody who says anything to him. There was no doubt in him being a stubborn man, but last week's fight between him and andy showed his other side(read true side) where he came out as an assertive, foolish and mannerless fellow. He is being referred as a 'kala saanp' ana a fake face by many. He is the most iritable person in the house (ofcourse after tanisha) and doesnot deserve a place here.
Lastly there is the 'hope-of-the-house' anand vijay kumar-andy as he is popularly known who is binding whole of the house together. Initially we saw him as a very fun-loving and entertaining personality but gradually when things went out of hand, he limited his boundaries and went ahead to join armaan and tanisha n dat was the end of him. After that we hardly saw the real andy, he drifted more towards the bitching game and indulged himself in the house politics. He, no doubt, is a strong contender for bigg boss 7 winner tag, but the chances could have been more strong if he had maintained his real image like gauhar khan. He too had fights in the house but eventually managed to come out clean by apologising. He is a very good-natured, friendly human being and have very bright chances of winning the show if he plays straight.
Lastly, the host of the show Mr. Salman Khan or shall I say Miss Salman Khan, a woman inside the body of a man, who doesnot have enough guts to stand for what is right, who sold himself for pennies or maybe its just becoz of friendship, but whatever he is doing is downright unjust. As he says frequently 'Jo hota hai wohii dikhta hai', this thing straightaway applies to him as his favouring tanisha, his good friend and former co-actor kajol's sister, is visible to all and in no way can it be justified. He goes on grilling gauhar n kushal, tanisha's foes, or we can say the only two people who have the guts to stand against the wrong and stand up for their own self-respect. By supporting tanisha and her (boy)friend, salman is demonstrating his weaker vision. He is showing his por standards and he is being portrayed as a double-faced dumb man who is acting puppet in the hands of tanisha. He is disrespecting his job of being the show host and is taking undue advantage of the respect the contestants show towards him. Every weekend he unfolds every single page of gauhar's personal life but doesn't enquire about the relationship of armaan and tanisha which by now is an open secret. He, on one side, tells kushal to respect women(read tanisha) but on the other side mentally harrasses gauhar every weekend. he has lost many fans already and the number will increase manyfolds if the deserving contestant is not announced the winner.
One week more to go.. n the suspense will be unfolded. Now the bigg boss fans can only hope their favourite show ends on a positive note conveying the message that bigg boss is not about power and influence.. its about an individual- his character, his attitude n his outlook towards life!!!
