Bigg Boss 14: ‘Shikshika’ Rubina Dilaik getting into aggressive mode?

Bigg Boss 14 housemate Rubina Dilaik seems to be finally realizing she needs to get out of her staid, ‘shakshuka’ mode, and get dirty if she must survive in the house. Following her showdown with Eijaz Khan a few days ago, the Tuesday night episode of the reality show will see Rubina unleash her fury on Rahul Vaidya.

Rubina seemed clueless about the game when she had entered the reality show. Now, after over 100 days of being locked inside the house, she has become a master of the game and is using all antics for survival.

In the latest promo of the show, Rubina was seen getting in an intense fight with Rahul Vaidya, which escalates to a level where her husband Abhinav Shukla also joins the showdown and attacks Rahul.

The fight begins over task-related issues, and soon the two drag each other’s personal lives into the spat.

At one point, Rahul tells Abhinav: “Ye biwi ka nahi ho saka, kisi aur ka kya hoga bhai (he couldn’t be loyal to his wife, how would he be loyal to anyone else).”

That was the moment when Rubina loses her cool and responds: “Tu kaun hai certificate dene wala, tere mein to himmat nahi hai ki apni partner ko is show me lekar aaye (who are you to issue a certificate, you do not have the guts to bring your partner in the show).”

When Rahul tries walking away from the fight, an angry Rubina is seen pulling at his clothes to make him face her.

When Abhinav came out to support Rubina, housemate Aly Goni rallied forces behind Rahul. He took yup Rahul’s fight for pushing the singer.

Rubina’s newfound aggression comes just a week after she, along with her husband Abhinav, slammed Eijaz Khan for invading her personal space.

In fact, in the weekend episode, superstar host Salman Khan tried to explain to her that she was wrong in making a fuss over the Eijaz episode, but she didn’t seem to agree.

The incident was when things went out of control during a showdown between Rubina and Eijaz, and Eijaz gave a high five to Rubina, who was raising her hand as a gesture to stop talking.

After the incident, Rubina said: “Don’t touch me without my permission, Eijaz Khan. Don’t touch me”, and Abhinav also intervened and told Eijaz: “Do not come close to my wife. No physical touch”.

Her recent antics leave one wondering if it is Rubina who is invading someone’s personal space, just to garner instant spotlight on herself

#Metoo: Sherlyn Chopra accuses Sajid Khan of flashing his privates

Actress Sherlyn Chopra has brought fresh #metoo charges against Sajid Khan, alleging that the filmmaker had in 2005 flashed her and asked her to touch his privates.

In a tweet she posted on Tuesday, Sherlyn wrote: “It’s not an accusation but the disclosure of a fact. Our phone records of the past may be checked regarding the same. After flashing his penis, he had not only asked me to touch it and feel it but also asked me if I had ever seen a penis as well endowed as his.”

“When I had met him in April 2005, a few days after my father’s demise, he had taken his penis out of his pants and had asked me to feel it. I remember having told him that I know how a penis feels like & that the purpose of my meeting with him was not to feel or rate his penis,” Sherlyn wrote in an earlier tweet.

She has also spoken out against the alleged “Bollywood mafia” which she claimed has been backing Sajid.

“He has the ‘superstars’ of Bollywood to vouch for his ‘character’. It’s my word against theirs. The Bollywood mafia is a strong syndicate,” she tweeted.

Sherlyn’s tweet came in reaction to the news portal OpIndia that tweeted: “BBC ‘Death in Bollywood’ documentary: Jiah Khan’s sister narrates how Sajid Khan harassed the actor, says he asked her to take off her top.”

In the last couple of years, Sajid Khan has been accused by multiple women in #metoo including assistant director Sonali Chopra, actress Rachel White and a journalist who brought allegations of sexual misconduct against him in 2018. He has denied the allegations.

Last year, the filmmaker faced fresh charges of sexual misconduct. A model named Dimple Paul claimed on Instagram that Khan had tried to touch her inappropriately and also asked her to strip before him.
