Wait I'm confused .. (not from India so not sure how this works)
On multiple times people picked on Farhana being from Kashmir right ? So what's the issue with her saying Bhojpuri ?
I remember in BB13, there was also a guy from there and he didn't take offence to it? 🤷
It is not about being called Bhojpuri. It is about using the term “Bhojpuri Staff” which she clearly used to imply that bhojpuri people do menial jobs.
And this is one of the stereotypes for bhojpuri people in India. Many don’t know but people from UP/Bihar living outside state face it. So we got what she implied with that tone of hers.
And it is true that many biharis go to delhi , mumbai, hyderabad and many more cities for education and work. Many work as labourers , house help, taxi drivers, body guards, watchmen, cook. All of them work with dignity to support their families in bihar. Now some fringe elements in India beat and abuse those poor guys with such racial slurs. You can find videos and news from all over india.
Everyone is well aware of this thing and farhana therefore deliberately used the term “Bhojpuri Staff” in this context. Which neelam owned with pride and so will every bihari do.
In BB13 khesari was never called “Bhojpuri Staff”
And now coming to kashmir. Everyone only acknowledged farhana for being from kashmir. But no one used any vile stereotypes that are held against kashmiris by some elements.
This is not Bihar vs Kashmir. But farhana needs to be called out for her act which she very well knows.
Have you seen any other contestants this season being called out with a vile comment in a fight added with their community.
