In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 14, Rubina Dilek hits Shehzad Deol, left, right and center. The reason is that a fellow contestant, Nishant Singh, referred to Malkani as “hijra” and “chakka” (neuter). This infuriated Rubina more than anyone else, and she left it in Shehzad for her insensitive comments, and rightly so, how could he ridicule the entire gender / community for insulting anyone (that’s another section of discussion).
This is 2020, and such derogatory remarks can no longer fly or be tolerated. Whether or not Shehzad Deol is justified in warning Nishant Singh Malkani, the fact remains that his approach is unforgivable. Again, this is 2020 to shout out, and mocking the third gender (eunuchs should be properly called, biologically, it is they) is allowed in any age, but with awareness and research available and made available around us today, such tasteless comments and perhaps recessive temperaments need to be called, if nothing else , With the hope that the origins of such unknown speech will turn on a new leaf.
Rubina Dilek was part of the show, Shakti – Astitwa Ke Ehsaas Ki, where she acted as Lingayat. First, it boasts of being one of the few actors in our country who is willing to accept socially stigmatized roles. Secondly, even if this causes her to speak, for fear of backlash she has received by giving her celluloid association with the community – as some say – it does not matter. It is important that the good has emerged, whether out of vested interests or out of caution. Whatever the case, you have three cheers, Rubina, and for your sake, you Shehzad, I hope you have learned something important. I can’t believe I’m saying this, and I’m squeezing myself while writing this, but even Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss seems to be progressing. So, what’s your excuse?
