I did not want to post it on the AT and if the creators want I will edit this post from here also...
Well when I first visited the BB forum yesterday I was appalled at the amount of bashing for Prats.
I watched the episode today online. After watching it now I am neither bashing Prats nor supporting her for yesterday's Elli incident .
First the way Prats was comforting Elli and telling her that Elli was wrong to say that she would slap Armaan. In this I am totally against Prats . She should not have said that to Elli, watching the episode it looked like that Prats was trying to tell Elli that even Elli was equally wrong in the whole incident. This I do not support even if Prats was just parroting the lines given to her in a script.
Afterwards I also watched the uncensored clips of the past days in BB. After watching both the episode and clips and cooling down a bit certain questions arose in my mind and they are -
1. Why the whole conversation between Elli, Prats and Armaan was not shown. From where the joke started and where it ended?
2. Why whole conversation when Prats was comforting Elli was edited, there were two very clear cuts in the conversation, and this could change the meaning of whole conversation? Did Prats went on her own to comfort Elli or was she sent by someone?
3. While Prats was telling Elli that Elli was wrong in saying that she would slap Armaan , I wondered why Prats was shifting her eyes and looked half scared herself, then I heard Armaan stalking in anger behind in the Heaven side and threatening . What was all that about? And why that whole conversation between Prats and Elli so much edited.
4. Why Gauhar's conversation with Elli was also edited. Why Gauhar was comforting Elli alone in bathroom, why not in front of everyone. All one could see was bathroom door and gauhar and elli's voices. Even Hazel came and knocked on the bathroom door called both of them out and asked Gauhar why could not she speak to Elli in front of everyone?
5. Why Elli reacted so late to the Armaan incident ? When Prats reacted late to Ratan's comment she was bashed around. But here nothing on late reaction of Elli?
6.Elli cried from evening till night. I believe everyone tried to comfort her and question Armaan during that duration. Then why only Prats and Gauhar's one to one talks with Elli was shown?
7.Why people want Prats to be a crusader and confront Armaan? Just because she played Anandi for 3 years and we want her to be Anandi in real life too?
8. When Armaan was telling everyone in Heaven that Elli is crying because she has also learnt the art of trying to get attention to gain TRPs then everyone was laughing along with Armaan on Elli. Why Prats is being bashed alone here why not bashing all other heavenmates?
9. Sangram laughed along with everyone but later on defended Elli alone in bathroom in front of camera. Isn't that double standards?
10. Gauhar told Elli to take a stand if a man talks to her in bad manner as it is demeaning to her.
And later in night the same Gauhar was answering Kushal that she is single and would not mind if Kushal flirts with her. What was all that?Was she genuinely concerned for Elli or was just instigating her?
11.Even Kamya said that Elli was close to Armaan and this type of joking was going on between them from past days. Elli is right to take offence if she feels that joke went insulting but Armaan also did that jokingly and did not meant that. After watching the the uncensored clips and little bit of livefeed even I could say that Elli was quite close and comfortable with Armaan. But still Armaan's joke was in bad taste.
12. Also after watching uncensored clips I can say that almost every male in the house has made fun of Elli in bad taste and that too in the presence of some female member, difference is Armaan used Chalu or street language and others used sophisticated language but double meaning dialogues on Elli were made by almost everyone in house then why bash Prats alone?
13. Why there was no footage of Elli till yesterday, was she not interacting with house members till then?
14. Why Colors highlighted this incident in article before telecasting the episode? Did not they wanted to grab eyeballs?
15.Why Big boss himself did not take a stand on this issue. Tanisha was called in the BB chamber and told to scold Kushal for throwing attitude and removing his mike in protest to ask for plug point ,and sun glasses so he could look good on screen, otherwise he is ready to leave the house. BB can take stand against this but not against Elli and Armaan incident. Why?
16.Why are we asking only Armaan and Prats to make a former apology? Why not apology from all housemates who sided with Armaan?
17. Big question why not apology from BB and Colors for telecasting and highlighting such things just to get some TRps?
18. Why just apology from Colors and BB ? Why not fine and stopping the telecast of BB if they want to demean women to gain money and TRp's?
19. Why BB alone, is not the content of almost all shows on Colors and other Channels as well present women in bad light?
20.We have become so used to in watching all this that we accept the same comments in serials we love but get angry when same thing is shown in controversial shows. For eg In Balika Vadhu when dadisa called Ashima lapundri wasn't that demeaning to women? Nobody found the word bad infact most of us considered it funny. Now just consider If in BB Armaan would have called Elli lapundri then what would have been the reaction? BV has also portrayed all city women in negative light,kapil comedy nights the highest TRP grosser for Colors has many cheap jokes on women , Do we react?
21. When on National TV actors like Salman, Sharukh , Karan Johar make fun of Foreign Heroines in similar way then do we object or ask for apologies? When our powerful ministers make the most degrading statements about women then what do we do? We raise our voices , make comments for few days and then sit back. Do we see to it that those ministers resign or are not elected again?
I got answer to few of my questions and that are -
1. BB is cleverly editing the show and trying to portray every contestant according to their own views.
2. Why Prats is shown as negative? - For this I can only say that Prats has portrayed a crusader for 3 years and now if they again show her as an angel then where is the spice? they have to show her negative and Gauhar (who has been an item girl dancer, and portrayed mostly negative roles on screen) had to be shown positive. That brings TRP...
I loved Prats because she is a good actress and brought life to a character. She made Anandi so real that I cried and laughed with her. I supported her because I believed that Colors and BV PH has done injustice to her by replacing her and I still stand by my belief. I did not wanted her to come on BB but was still happy because it was an indication that her and Colors relations are on mend and I could soon see her acting again. I will not judge her whole character only on yesterday's scene because I never put her on pedestal and wanted her to act like Anandi. Also if I want to form an opinion about her then I want to see the whole uncut 24 hrs footage of all cameras of BB house of all days. After watching all that I can form an opinion on Prats or on any other contestant. Prats will have my support till as Gina and Branka says if MM come in show and they patch things and kiss like nothing ever happen . If this happens then only Prats loose my support but I would still not hate her, because hate is a strong word for me. I would just be indifferent to her...
The way BB is banking on Prats for TRP's and initial viewers and has been portraying her as a brat , cry baby and now negative (watch uncensored clips almost every contestant is like that) I am worried for her.(though I know that audience have short term memories and they would soon forget all this image once she gets back to acting). But still my mind goes to time when in UK version of BB some contestant made a racial remark against Shilpa Shetty and hence made International headlines. This time BB and Colors had paid a lot of money to Salman Khan and to make profit out of it how low can they go? They have already given us a trailer yesterday and its not even a week since it has started airing , why my instinct tells me that they will go more dirty and low and are aiming at making atleast National headlines.
Colors had already gone cheap in JDJ season 6 for TRP's. That is what scares me the most in regards to Prats..
If anyone wants to go against the content that portrays women in bad light or is insulting for women be it serials, advertisements or reality shows shown on every channel then I am in full support of that person. But i don not support bashing of actors on just watching a cleverly edited reality show.
After reading all the bashing that was going around through out the day and after the telecast of episode I have decided to take a break from IF. I simply cannot take all that bashing. I do feel like a coward to runaway like this . But I cannot take it. It is affecting my work, my personal life and my mind - it just not allows me to think straight...
I really want to say sorry to everyone because I kept on requesting everyone to support Prats , keep voting for her and now I am running away like this.
I am really very sorry.
I am leaving but with a promise that I will keep on voting for Prats and flooding Colors with a request to bring her and Sid back in a serial. And now will also tell Colors that they better not use Prats again for their gain..
Thanks to Neha for introducing me to this CC.

I started watching BB for Prats only. For me that show is insane (I might try and watch it again for Prats) But that forum is more insane. I cannot make myself go there...
Sorry but now I am going back to the world i came from and that is
