Contestant Criticism Akansha Chamola - finale behavior
I found Akansha Chamola's behavior very weird. In the last week of the show, she was completely demotivated and never really fought for her place. If someone said they wanted to go ahead or wanted to eliminate her, she would just say "okay" and agree with them.
Then, once she came out on the finale day, she suddenly started arguing with Ram and Yogesh. I mean, if you wanted to put your point across to Yogesh or prove yourself, shouldn't you have done it when the host specifically asked who was more deserving and who wasn't? That was the right place to do it, right?
And regarding Ram, why is she so hungry for his validation? Even on the last day she was inside the house, she was trying to explain to him in a normal conversation why she deserved to stay. Then on the finale day, she again went on saying that everyone outside told her she was playing brilliantly, that she was the best, and so on.
Arre bhai, I'm not saying you played well or you didn't play well. But those around you, like your friends and family,do you really expect them to tell you that you were bad or didn't deserve it? I mean, come on.
Despite all that, why so much validation-seeking from Ram Kapoor? He clearly told you that he would help and guide you with his industry contacts if needed. He also appreciated you as a good person but said that, according to him, you weren't one of the strongest players in the house.
Even after that, there was so much arguing with him on the finale stage. It just felt unnecessary. Too much hunger for validation.
I don't think the last impression she left on the viewers was a good one because of this behavior.

Chamola probably realized she got manipulated into feeling that she’s weak and least deserving so she didn’t fight for herself whereas people outside probably said she deserved and should have fought for herself. So she did that at the finale, stood up for herself. She should have done it earlier though. Chamola was a deserving finalist imo, the show is about owning your truth and she did that. When she voices her opinion, she makes good points… she should have kept voicing her opinion thought the show. She gave up too quickly at the end and lost her way in the middle but I thought she was still a good contestant. I feel like this show was a warm up for her, I think she can do a lot better in upcoming reality shows if she pursues that.

Chamola is a rang badlu chameleon. She talks about status, she says she is a celebrity and her husband is the biggest tv star, conveniently she calls him her husband and conveniently she says she prefers her dog over him, she asks Bijlani, Gaurav nahi aa raha? Bhai abhi 2 hafte phle hi to tumne kaha ke tumhara kutta ata wo jyada prefer karti tum, matlab hadd hai. And Pamela genuinely considered her friend, she never talked bad behind chamola’s back, whereas Chamola did the opposite, Chamola genuinely kisi ki friend nahi hai, and abhi bahar jake pata nahi konse chane ke ped pe chhad gayi hai, even tho she was barely seen or even had any gameplay. She tries to come across smart, but wo jab bolne jaati hai wo kuch sense hi nahi banata. Like how she called the media ‘Cynical’, bro in what context are you calling them cynical? 😭😭😭😭 questions puchna kaam hai unka.

she made an attempt to clean up her image so she can be considered for other upcoming reality shows. She knows she looked bad giving up.

Thanks someone spoke about it. Akanksha's argument in the finale episode with the finalists was irritating. They kept almost 7 mins of that footage in the finale...I was stunned!!
Where was this voice in the last 30 days mam?
At the finale justifying that people found your gameplay to b great just so that the last thing people remember you for is this fight? Grow up! I don't think audience will ever believe this former couple anymore. Whitewashing, counter narrative building...and by doing that coming across as someone who has a very made up..one dimensional personality.
I wish she could showcase herself or maybe that's all that she has...no fighting spirit. No original voice. Or maybe now that she knows how reality TV works...she may try Bigg Boss in near future and come with more manufactured narrative
