Watching Big Boss 14 is detrimental for Mental Health, it is Glorifying Misogyny and Toxic Mentality

Image
( All Pictures Courtesy : Colors )   I want to express my exasperation, discomfort and absolute helplessness as I am addicted to a reality show in India called Big Boss(Indian Version of Big Brother) which is in its 14th season. I expected some light entertainment but the show has slowly become a platform to facilitate toxic mentality, blatant misogyny and woman shaming. I am a victim of the show and as much as I regret watching it, I am unable to cut all ties with it. It is damaging my mental health and I am feeling extremely guilty of not being able to remedy the situation. I shudder at the thought of the existence of the nameless and faceless people working for the production house who are unashamedly targeting a poor woman, only because she refuses to be timid, shy and an under-confident porcelain showpiece which is the terrestrial expectation from her. Her confidence is her ornament which should have been lauded and celebrated in an ideal world, instead she is constantly ...

10 times Rubina Dilaik proved that she's the boss by Raj Amidst the maddening pressure of work , I started watching Big Boss Season 14 after 7 years ( Yes, the last season I watched was season 7 when Gauhar Khan won) and from the first week itself , I was drawn to Rubina Dilaik who came across as a firm,attractive and resilient woman whom everyone is weary of as she threatens male supremacy and I am writing this as a man who has 3 very self sufficient and confident sisters who have often been subjected to criticism from both male/female members of the society who find them intimidating, bossy and unwomanly. I am fortunate that my parents brought us up equally and feminism was not even a topic of discussion. There was nothing that my sisters could not do which I could. So, I instantly connected with Rubina who defies the societal norms and is unapologetically steadfast and commanding as any man would. I had no idea who she was before the show as I don't watch Tv Serials, so for ...

Sushant Singh Rajput , a David felled by the Goliaths of Bollywood

A victim of the vicious PR Machinery prevalent in Bollywood  So, I am back to blogging after 10 years with my wannabe writing skills. First and foremost, I would like to tell my readers that I am not an Oxford Graduate and my writing is below average but my intentions are not! The death of Sushant Singh Rajput has shaken me, and I could not help but pen down my thoughts. I must admit in the beginning that I am not a fan of Sushant Singh Rajput, I have seen his movies, always thought he is a good actor but never bothered about him. I asked this question to myself, why didn't I? Out of the 9 movies he did, 6 were successful , that’s a good enough ratio considering Ranbir Kapoor is the messiah of Bollywood after churning out countless disasters. I pondered and almost in an eureka moment, ferreted out the tacid game that's played by the paid media with our minds(sponsored by the famous mafia gang & co). Aren’t our minds easily swayed by the nepotistic PR machinery that is p...
