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..đĄ
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...
