Three reasons why leading favourite Dipika Kakar shouldn’t win 'Bigg Boss' 12
Bigg Boss Season 12 is about to enter its finale week, leading to speculation about who would be its winner. Not that it makes much of a difference to the world, yet speculation is circulating, even at the risk of being inconsequential.
Being a known face of television serials after working as Simar Bharadwaj in Sasural Simar Ka, the chances of Dipika Kakar winning the show are high.
She reportedly has a huge fan following. Going by the theory that only women watch soap operas, the fact that Kakar can bank on her fans to win the show says something about the women voting as one block.
For the uninitiated, the show’s format involves people voting for the nominated contestants each week. Contestants are generally nominated on the basis of their performance in the tasks they are supposed to carry out in the house. Nominations can also come as punishments for breaking rules in the Bigg Boss house.
Coming back to Dipika Kakar, it has to be definitively said that she should certainly not win the show because her only contribution to the twelfth edition has been to add to its boredom.
Yes, this has been one of Bigg Boss’s most boring editions so far.
Playing the dutiful, if newly-found, sister to former cricketer S Sreesanth, Kakar has offered nothing more to the show than some melodramatic bhai-behan drama that should have ideally made her the right contestant to be evicted long ago.
She has literally pushed viewers to the edge of boredom.
Those interested in melodrama with Kakar at its centre can tune into old episodes of Sasural Simar Ka.
If the show is supposed to test a person for his or her ability to adjust in a house along with complete strangers, Kakar has emerged as a miserable failure.
When the show began, Dipika was friends with Neha Pendse, Karanvir Bohra and Sreesanth. For the others, she complained that they had said a lot of things which weren't to her liking.
Those who have followed the show know that at one point, even Sreesanth said a lot of things about her, but she talked out her differences with the former cricketer. She did not make the same effort for the others.
Was it because they were 'commoners' and not stars?
Kakar’s silence on most issues — except, of course, when it concerns Sreesanth — has been termed 'graceful behaviour'. The claim appears ridiculous because if everybody was to stay quiet and add grace to their personal profiles, why should Bigg Boss even exist?
'Grace' would in fact have been in a star making friends with 'commoners' (some, if not all) and performing tasks with them.
Yes, the commoners played as a group but if a person couldn’t break into that group, why should the person win?
The third important factor which should make Dipika Kakar ineligible to win the show is that it would end up making the show so very predictable!
Last time, the two contestants who made it to the last round of the finale episode were Hina Khan and Shilpa Shinde — both rose to fame with television acting. (Shilpa Shinde was an entertaining actor, unlike, as critics often remark, Hina Khan.)
Earlier, TV actor Shweta Tiwari too has lifted the Bigg Boss trophy. As have TV stars Urvashi Dholakia and Juhi Parmar.
This makes the outcome of the show pretty predictable. But we viewers prefer surprises!
Don’t we?
