A teary-eyed Rahul Mahajan, with a coffee mug in hand, makes a very emotional appeal on national TV about how as “crores of people prayed, he lost his father.” As the lights in Bigg Boss’ house dim, (which they don’t otherwise) Rahul tries to follow his dialogue writer’s instructions as he takes a pregnant pause before sighing heavily and saying, “My father was lying in his bed and then his life support system went beep, beep, beep and then died out in a straight beep.” (Very dramatic and very scripted!) “Even as the country cried, I was alone in my grief,” he adds with as much emotion as Himesh Reshmmiya. Only his clownish smile refuses to back his depth of emotions. The inmates are moved, you can see. They listen patiently and for once even Sambhavna sits silent. But Rahul fails. Though Bigg Boss can’t be blamed: The shadow on Rahul’s face, the dim lights, the coffee mug, the after-dinner somber talk and even Bigg Boss’ background comments are perfect. They could make a hit out of any script. But then Rahul Mahajan’s story has always been beyond repair!
