You are right it felt like a saas bahu show.

I'm watching the finale & why it feels like RD tried to change Shreya's mind to swap her chosen spot? Because if she had taken the bait, instead of Shilpa, it'd have been her who'd have gone out. Ironically, it's not the 1st time he did this. Infact, he immediately locked others choice, didn't try to play mind games but only with Shreya. It was weird. May be that was their last chance to eliminate Shreya saying it was her choice.

Also, Yogesh actually gave both Shreya & Shilpa a safe spot (it's another thing they chose to not believe him) & going by that he probably wanted to eliminate Shivangi. It was just that the unsafe spot was already chosen by Shilpa , so didn't matter between him & Anabelle who chose which spot.

Dekho dekho...

Harshad ka khatam nahi ho raha....

Shivangi ka bharam toot gaya ki uske alawa yeh show koi jeet nahi sakta.....even on stage she was like ladne ka show nahi tha ....toh phir daily soap bhi nahi hi tha. For all the time she put Shreya down with isko show nahi milta/follow nahi karte, Shreya Kalra is the winner Shivangi Joshi. She won it. 🏆

I liked how Prince so strongly stood up for Shreya, i guess it is their roadies connection.

so happy shreya won… definitely was my fav throughout except for 1st week

i hated shivangi the most …

yay! shreya won!

can't tag priya..but good to see her win & grow as a person from her initial days..

Hey na ....just imagine the initial week and she was probably the most hated contestant and then what a journey she had ...And in the end maximum viewers were rooting for her....she indeed made it " The Shreya Kalra show" ..

She took risks,made shocking choices, strategized to make things happen...Yes..she has made lots of unnecessary remarks..but I don't think anyone deserved to win more than her....And man what a strong confident woman she is..she was never overwhelmed or scared of other bigger names who held more power than her..she never bowed down and played a submissive game...

Without offending anyone...she is someone who i wanted Farhana to be in BB19...Both of them initially chose to somehow grab the attention amongst the bigger names or people with other advantages...and they did certain things to bring the camera onto them,which is commendable as they knew it's not a level-playing field so like this they gave themselves a chance ..but then what makes Shreya different for me is what she did with that attention...how she showed her beast mode in tasks, her entertaining mode,her sharp witty mode, she was someone who never gave empty words but plotted actively to make it happen...She was also someone who absolutely ATE Shivangi in that conversation with Shivangi with her composed but on point replies...

So she was definitely the most deserving...

Shreya was standing as top 3 on stage with two such contestants jisse usne khud nikal diya tha show se earlier...She was instrumental in Yogesh elimination,she had eliminated Shivangi herself..lol..i think it is testament to her incredible gameplay this season...

Exactly....I was waiting for someone to pick that up...

Remember when Shreya had chosen Shivangi for elimination..how Ritesh tried his best for Shreya to change her decision..kept asking her 1000 times...and then said " abb pehla finalist decide karega kaun hoga pehla finalist" lol....

I must say Ekta Kapoor and the production team tried their best till the end to make Shivangi win...but Shreya 's game was So So GOATed in comparison to others that they had to give it to her...They had no other choice..

Shreya flipped the script and how!!

And let's not forget his own conduct. Charging towards Shreya, inserting himself into an argument that wasn't about him repeatedly, abusing her with very offensive words, and showing her the middle finger were all his own actions. No one forced him to react that way..I think the biggest problem is that he doesn't seem willing to take accountability. It's one thing to make mistakes & it's another to keep defending or justifying them instead of reflecting on them.

As you said What disappointed me wasn't that he stood by someone,it was how he did it.Such problematic man-child behaviour. Even after the show, instead of acknowledging that some of his actions were excessive, he still seems reluctant to accept any responsibility..

Until someone accepts that they have something to work on, it's very difficult for any real change to happen.

At the end of the day, no one else can be blamed for his choices. People may influence us, but we're still responsible for how we react...

Long story short, I really can't look at him the same way ever again. He, was average to decent actor in my eyes but I really respected him as human being but he is way different than I thought. As for Shivangi, I was never a regular viewer of her show, only had seen her in KKK & few interviews & thought she was sweet but well. Anyway! Except for Deeraj, none of them looked like a decent human being to me to be honest. There was tharki, foul mouths, downright chindi & pathetic ones. It's just that Shreya came across as the better one given how she played despite her initial gutter mouth episodes.

Reality shows have a way of changing perceptions because, for the first time, we're watching people as themselves rather than through carefully written characters.

For me, Harshad was undoubtedly the biggest disappointment. I never expected perfection from him, and I don't think making mistakes makes someone a bad person bcz come on everyone does,we are humant . What changed my opinion was the repeated pattern of behaviour- constantly letting his emotions take over, inserting himself into situations that weren't his, crossing boundaries and then struggling to acknowledge his own role in those situations. The incident with Shreya, in particular, was difficult for me to overlook. Charging towards her, abusing her, and showing her the middle finger weren't things I expected from someone I had respected. That image is hard to erase.And then him not even apologise her for once for those conducts..😡

With Shivangi, my perception changed too. Before the show, I had only seen bits of her work and a few interviews, so she came across as sweet and pleasant. But inside the house, I often felt she was very conscious of the image she wanted to project which is fine but she made it a daily soap and made herself a delicate,soft damsel. Over time, it seemed like she was skilled at framing situations in a way that worked in her favour while others, especially Harshad, ended up taking the heat.She came across entitled and arrogant..and her biggest mistake was she never accepted or owned it...Whether that was intentional or simply gameplay is open to interpretation, but it definitely changed how I viewed her.

Ironically, the contestant I warmed up to the most was Shreya. She had a rough start, said things I didn't agree with, and there were moments where she genuinely crossed the line. I don't think she played a perfect game, and I wouldn't defend every single thing she did.

But what I appreciated was that she actually played. She came in with a strategy, took risks, voiced her opinions, challenged people who were far more established than her, and didn't spend the entire season protecting an image. She was witty, articulate, intelligent, emotionally resilient, and unapologetically herself. Even when the entire house seemed against her, she didn't crumble or suddenly become diplomatic to win people over.

By the end of the season, I found myself respecting her journey the most. She went from being one of the most disliked contestants in the first week to becoming one of the biggest talking points of the season. Love her or hate her, she made an impact..

That's probably why, despite all her flaws, she came across as one of the most authentic contestants to me. She didn't hide behind a carefully curated image. She made mistakes, owned many of them, faced the consequences, and kept playing. I can't say the same for several others...
