Bigg Boss 14: Lines that divide ‘class’ from the ‘mass’

Mumbai, Jan 4 : Has Bigg Boss 14 finally found its mojo in the age-old formula of class divide, at a time when the season has been struggling to find a saleable trick for high rating? When Salman Khan stormed into his weekly meeting with housemates this past weekend, he seethed with rage and roared about the difference between “hum log” and “woh log”. The reference was to housemates who hail from urban and sophisticated backgrounds. and those who have risen to fame from among the masses. Salman, who has earned every bit of his superstardom being an out-and-out mass hero, naturally sided with the second lot.
During the weekend, Salman took to the stage as host of Bigg Boss 14, and didn’t waste any time in declaring the two groups of the house, He called out the housemates who were acting cool, and targeting others.
He pulled up Jasmin Bhasin, Aly Goni, Nikki Tamboli, Abhinav Shukla, Rahul Vaidya and Rubina Dilaik for targeting challengers Rakhi Sawant and Arshi Khan for being ‘different’.
There are many reasons behind the dividing lines between the so-called cool group and the rest, and the biggest one is that they all are popular faces of the small screen.
If one talks about Rakhi and Arshi, they are mostly in the news for their dramatic antics or bizarre statements. They spell trouble and controversy — something which the popular faces probably want to avoid.
