EPISODE 60-61 Roopali's (Baby) day out

Day 61

Roopali was adamant that she was fighting for her rights and didn't eat or drink anything for the last two days. Everybody was worried about her. But those who were really concerned about her were Amit and Carol. Since morning, Amit pestered her to stop her fast because nothing would come of it.

First, Amit tried to emotionally blackmail her by saying that even he would not eat. That was risky Amit! Next he told her that nobody (Ravi) really cared whether she ate or not. If they were concerned then they would've come and touched her feet and asked for forgiveness. Well, that was too much Amit.

Carol tried to tell Amit that Roopali was doing it for herself. But Amit was quite stubborn, and tried to make her eat forcefully. According to him she had taken it as an ego struggle. And her reason for fasting changed every minute. Roopali replied that she was doing it to make some people feel guilty. Do you mean Ravi? Oh... someone please tell this girl that Ravi was in the dining area at the time, enjoying his breakfast!

Finally Rahul and Baba came and told her enough was enough. Rahul said that a chain reaction would start and everybody would start making similar demands. Finally, Roopali gave in and broke her fast by having a cup of tea. Everybody breathed a sigh of relief.

Tough life for the jawans: Rakhi had to admit that life as a soldier was not an easy one. The toughest task was waking up early in the morning! Today, General Baba made them jog with guns on their heads. Bhai bada khadoos General hain! Around 10 p.m. Baba was called into the confession room and given another task. This one was quite tough.

The soldiers were asked to jump through tyres, clamber under barbed wires, cross a monkey bridge and crawl through tunnels. The guys completed the work quite efficiently. Even Carol looked quite sporty. But poor Rakhi was stuck. Roopali admitted that Bigg Boss had really done her a favour by making her a colonel because she couldn't have done any of the exercises.

After tel maalish it's time for boot polish: We love the spirit with which these housemates did their task. This time they had to polish 50 pairs of mixed dirty boots. Apart from polishing them, they also had to match the pairs in an hour. Could they make it? Of course they could. The task was completed within an hour. The boots were shining like mirrors. Rakhi admitted it was "Cherry ka kamala".

Rakhi, the most enthusiastic of all soldiers: The siren played and the housemates rushed out of the house with guns in their hands to defend their motherland. They aimed their guns at enemies and fought hard. Finally, the siren stopped. But yeh kya? Rakhi was still on the ground fighting with imaginary enemies. We heard her shout aloud, "Kutto main tumhe maar doongi." Everybody looked at her and smiled, nodding their heads. But Rakhi was defending her country with all her strength. Is it the enemies outside or the enemies inside the house you're fighting, Rakhi?

Later, she walked into the pink room and started laughing aloud. Poor Carol, who was trying to sleep, woke up. Rakhi went on laughing and cooking 'khayali pulao' and an irritated Carol had to leave the room. Later, Rakhi told everybody that she laughed remembering how Ravi ran out half dressed when the siren was played. Strangely, Ravi is always either dressing or in the bathroom when the siren plays. Bhai Ravi, kabhi to taiyar raho!

Who's sitting on the aloo parbat?: It seems Bigg Boss wants the jawans to slog as hard as real soldiers. This new task had them peeling two sacks of potatoes in an hour. And did we underestimate our jawans? Despite the fact that there was a 'hawai hamla' in between, they completed the task successfully within an hour. Jai Jawan! Jai Kisaan!




Day 60

The crybaby has become tough now; Roopali is angry. In fact, she is very angry on Bigg Boss. The poor girl had requested him to send a phone so she could speak to her parents during New Year’s eve. Bigg Boss did send a mobile phone with 10 minutes talk time. But Amit and Ravi used up the talk time, leaving no chance for the rest of the gang. How mean!

This morning, Roopali declared that she was on a hunger strike and would not eat until Bigg Boss let her talk to her parents. Everybody told her not to harm her health because of this small reason. But Roopali was adamant. She said that her parents meant everything to her. She always stepped out of the house after touching their feet. Wow! That is real dedication Roopali. Kya adarsh hain! We’re impressed.

Is this a military academy or the Bigg Boss house?: What’s up? Why is Ravi, Carol, Rakhi, Baba and Roopali roaming around the house in military uniform? Oh maybe you don’t know about the new task. The task called “left right left”. This new task has turned the housemates into soldiers. Baba Sehgal is the general and Roopali is the colonel of the house. They are supposed to monitor the tasks given to the soldiers. This means the soldiers will have to work really hard, while the general and colonel will have all the fun. Cool!

According to the instructions from Bigg Boss, the soldiers, irrespective of their gender, will stay in the pink room (the girls’ room), while the general and colonel will share the blue room (the boys’ room). The housemates would have to be ready for attacks from the enemy with their guns and everybody had to be ready, wearing the uniform supplied to them.

Housemates are ready with their guns: The first round of military training started. General Baba and Colonel Roopali were instructing the soldiers on how to be disciplined and alert when the enemy attacked. Amit, the soldier, started teaching them how to position themselves when instructed—savdhan and vishram. Everybody looked quite enthusiastic, but Rakhi seemed to have taken the task to her heart.

Next we heard the siren. The enemy had attacked. The soldiers ran towards the garden area and started shooting. Rakhi seemed to be the most enthusiastic fighter. The siren had stopped and she was still fighting with invisible enemies.

Amit says he’s psychotic: Everybody was actively taking part in the military exploits. Except Amit Saad. Rakhi was furious with him because he was avoiding all his duties. Instead we caught him overeating and behaving like a maniac. Later when Carol came to ask him about his health, he broke down and told her that he was feeling sick. He simply could not take the instructions and the siren.

Then he indulged in some self-pity and spoke about his sad childhood. Everybody tried to calm him down. He also said that he had psychological problems and had been trying hard to behave nicely. The poor guy sobbed on Rahul’s shoulder.
