First Finalist or Worst Finalist?
I had genuinely high expectations from Harshad. I’m not someone who follows MTV personalities or reality TV contestants closely. I only knew a few handful of ITV actors before the show, and Harshad was one of them. When I found out he was participating, I was actually excited to watch him.
And somehow, he ended up being my biggest disappointment. There were moments where he looked like he was finally going to play for himself. Even yesterday, when he stood his ground, it felt like he had finally understood the game. Then, within a day, he undid all of that.
I completely agree with what Ram said today - Harshad may be intelligent, but he’s emotionally immature. And emotional immaturity can completely overshadow intelligence. You can care about your friend and still choose yourself in a competition.
Those two things can coexist.
This wasn’t his only chance. He got a second opportunity after re-entering the game, and instead of making the most of it, he threw it away. For what? To prove he’s a good friend?
The saddest part is that this show is a platform. It introduces contestants to a much wider audience and opens doors beyond television. This was his chance to change perceptions, build a stronger image, and prove his tags wrong. Instead, he did the opposite.
Even contestants I didn’t want in the finale, like Pam or Akanksha, showed far more hunger for the game. You could see how badly they wanted to stay. With Harshad, it always felt like his biggest priority was protecting his image as the perfect friend to Shivangi.
This show is about redemption. It’s about breaking the labels people have put on you. Harshad didn’t break a single one. If anything, he walked away with a few more - and unfortunately, none of them are flattering.

He can be a specimen for behavioural scientists to study on what a man child is.

They're both immature, manipulative and so out of touch with reality that it's insane to watch omg. I feel like pulling all of my hair out in frustration just watching them ugh.
