Tejasswi Prakash calls Shamita Shetty aunty in BB Weekend Ka Vaar

Report By: Anil Merani| Sad to see next-gen Indians who we expect to be woke resort to old age shamming barbs to get ahead.

Something similar happened when Tejasswi Prakash called her Bigg Boss 15 co-contestant Shamita Shetty an aunty during tonight’s Weekend Ka Vaar task.

   

Not surprisingly, Shamita lost her cool and took Karan Kundrra to task for not admonishing his girl. Karan’s silence speaks a lot given that being a Roadies judge, he would blast others for being insensitive to the opposite sex, and here because Teja was feeling the heat from Shamita, she hit below the belt.

Let’s face most Bigg Boss watchers are youth, and when you call someone aunty, you wish to demean them.

Thirty-seven years Karan is not getting any younger. He soon might only get a father or elder bro TV role. How will he feel if some younger actor calls him uncle?

On the flip side, did Shamita walk into Teja trap by reacting? Let’s admit one thing on fan numbers alone: Shamita is way behind Teja. So if a tiff leads to a war cry for support, we know who will end up tops.

Hope Salman Khan takes Teja to task for her rude talk. Shamita has been age shamed by Punjabi singer Afsana Ahmed before her BB15 elimination a while back as well.

While we can pontificate on the wrong impressions such loose talk can have on kids, we also need to accept that Shamita should have been aware of such pitfalls when she signed the dotted line for the second time. Bigg Boss is not a show where you mind your Ps and Q’s.

Here, Rashami Desai and Rakhi Sawant should have stepped up to the plate and joined the issue with Shamita, as some might call them aunty as well. Yet again, I am expecting too much in a race heading for a photo finish.

In closing, Tejajswi darling, you should be more conscious of your words since millions love you.
