Rahul Mahajan, the cute, funny, sacrificing and benevolent human being has been judged as the ‘Badey Dill Waala’ of the Bigg Boss house. He won the hearts of many when he opted for the voluntary exit from the show safeguarding the interests of the other three contestants and taking the entire blame for the breakout from the house. Probably, he did deserve the title in this case, but how can one be sure that it was an act of compassion without being driven by any self motive?
Yes, he willingly rejected a sure shot chance at Rs 1 crore. He knew very well that he was the most popular of all the contestants and hence his probability of winning the game show was very high. So his opting out of the game came across as an enduring act to the people. More over he gained respect of millions by asking the public to vote for the poor, dhabeywaala Ashutosh.
But was the motive of Rahul Mahajan, son of Pramod Mahajan (the quite wealthy, late politician, who left him a fortune with which he could lead a luxurious and comfortable life without any struggles) to win 1 crore rupees? Rahul Mahajan is undoubtedly entitled to several crores from the fortune his family has. Money cannot matter to an already extremely rich person!
Rahul’s main motive was to clear up his absolutely crappy public image. After the death of his father he became very unpopular when he was reportedly found involved the drugs abuse case. He was charged under sections 21 (sale and purchase of drugs), 25 (allowing one’s premises for the use of drugs), 27 (consumption of drugs), and 29 (conspiracy and abetment) of the NDPS Act. Section 21 can land him in jail for a minimum of 10 years. Apart from this he had an image of an atrocious ‘wife beater’. His former wife, Shweta Singh Mahajan on the show ‘Zindagi Live’ admitted that he was not the kind of person he was portraying himself as to the public. He was on a show, and he had to create a liking for himself in the hearts of the audiences. That was probably his motive behind being the ‘cute, friendly, calm and tolerant’ person he was. He knew well, that one mistake and he would have to face the repercussions his entire life. Bigg Boss gave him the perfect chance to salvage his public image that he had absolutely destroyed in the past two years. And he did do so nicely! By supposedly ‘sacrificing the money and the title’ and urging people to vote for the poor lad Ashutosh.
How can one ignore his alleged affairs with Payal Rohatgi and Monika Bedi. He was supposed to be in a relationship with Payal at first, but then he got intimate and close with Monika Bedi, ignoring Payal. Later when Monika was evicted, he gave leg and body massages to Payal, which were absolutely cheap! And the when Monika came back, he declared his undying love for her, even though Monika insisted on getting to know each other better first. But after the show, he completely denied being in love with her and said that they were just ‘friends’. Monika made a complete fool out of herself for trusting him! Besides people from the show themselves pointed out that he was a master player. Diana Hayden said that behind his silly and funny habits, his motive was to influence others. Once out of the house, Sambhavana said that ‘he knew the game well. He was not whatever he was showing the audiences’. Debojit also felt highly disappointed with him when he came to know about his two faced nature.
A wife beater and a manipulator, how can one really empathize with him when he deliberately opted out to gain the sympathy of the masses?
I have every reason to believe that it was a calculated move on his part- to glorify himself as a great human being. Money, he did not need, but he was in a desperate need of fostering a positive impression in the minds and hearts of people. A great player indeed, who got what he wanted in the end and emerged as the true winner. Ha!
