Sampat's role on Bigg Boss
At Hotklix blog on October 17, by Monika Rawal:
Imagine Karishma Kotak teaching Sampat how to talk in English or Urvashi Dholakia telling her to behave like a TV vamp or Sapna Bhavnani giving a makeover to Sampat Pal Devi – won’t it all look extremely funny? Had it been any other celebrity, such things would just look like a task, but with Sampat, it just gives a reason to audiences to make fun of her, which I feel isn’t a fair deal.
No one would want to be a part of Bigg Boss show to get ridiculed or tarnish their public image. And as celebrity hair stylist Sapna Bhavnani rightly pointed out that Sampat doesn’t realizes that others are laughing at her innocence and simplicity and that’s why she should get evicted.
This is pretty much exactly what I was afraid of. I have no doubt that Sampat's idealism outshined the show's format and appealed to viewers; perhaps even brought meaningful attention to the Gulabi Gang. But why even be in such a context? Where her main task was to rise above it, rather than demonstrate her cause? We can get her a better forum than that.
