One week of coochie-cooing with co-contestant Upen Patel has got Karishma about 50 per cent more screen time than previous three months. But what's the big deal? Have we not watched other contestants getting lovey-dovey on the show before.
Diandra-Gautam, Kushal-Gauahar, Armaan-Tanisha, Veena-Ashmit...the list is endless. Then why so much infamy for Karishma?
Oh yes, the Grand Masti actress is in the dock because, she is stealing kisses with Upen inside the house while her boyfriend waits outside. Unfaithful, did you say?
Karishma Tanna's open admission of harbouring amorous feelings for Upen , despite being in a relationship has brought her tags like unfaithful and gold digger on social media platforms. She is being accused of playing game to win the show. Online discussions and comments accuse her of double standards - she snubbed Rahul Mahajan's flirtation using 'I have a boyfriend card' but happily enjoyed Upen's advances. I ask, why can't she? If you have watched the show, Karishma has never liked Rahul while Upen has been her close friend since week one. She has the right to choose.
People who have been hating her for the past three months won't suddenly start loving her for coochie-cooing with a co-inmate at the fag end of the show. If it's not genuine it isn't fake either. Lets say she is floored by Upen's constant attention. Which girl doesn't dig that?
Karishma has for so long stayed away from creating love angle which has become a tradition of sorts now, on the Indian version of Celebrity Big Brother. She chose to remain just friends with Upen till his exit. It was only after his return, the actress opened up to his flirtations. She is bold enough to admit to her feelings for Upen on national television, not hide under the 'friendship veil'. Case in point her friend Diandra Soares and foe Gautam Gulati.
Further, Karishma never hid her relationship status to Upen Patel, or the housemates or the viewers. She is not cozying up with Upen on the sly. If Upen chooses to pursue a committed woman nobody raises a finger, when the same woman enjoys that attention and reciprocates, all hell break loose.
The housemates are convinced Upen is in love with Karishma but have think Karishma may be playing a game . Really? A woman, who is committed, is obsessed with her screen image, smart enough to play the game just right to survive for 14 weeks in the show and a prize money hopeful, suddenly decides upon hara-kiri.
She can't be a fool to romance for the cameras to garner votes at such a crucial juncture of the show. And certainly not when she has at numerous occasions declared she has a boyfriend.
Karishma is battling all kinds of questions from inmates and knows it is not going to end there. A barrage of questions awaits her outside the house. If she was playing a game with Upen, she would not assure him (on camera, figuratively in front of billions of viewers) of breaking up with her boyfriend once they are out of the house before she takes it further with him. It's going to be dirty and she knows it. But she is convinced Upen makes her happy. She likes being with him, then why not. It's her life, they are her relationships. She knows them best, Why are we judging?
As she confessed to co-inmate Dimpy (she revealed it on camera), things between her and her boyfriend are not great. The 'Karishma-Upen-boyfriend triangle' is not alien to the real world. The boyfriend in question outside, told INNLIVE, "I have nothing to say. I and Karishma are just friends and nothing more."
Reports are doing the rounds that Karishma decided to break up with her boyfriend soon after she got to know that his bar has burnt down, as told to inmates by co-inmate Dimpy. Really, can Dimpy's personal and biased opinion be the basis of judgement of Karishma's character.
Stop attacking Karishma, she is doing what she thinks is right. Stop slut-shaming her, she is answerable only to herself, Upen and her boyfriend. Don't like her, don't vote for her. Don't judge her on the basis of the 45-min footage of the daily show.
