The recent episode of Bigg Boss 20 seemingly turned emotional after the contestants spoke about the last time they shed tears. According to reports, ScoutOP revealed that he has only cried twice in the last eight years. After hearing this, Kanikka Mann chimed in and stated that crying isn’t a bad thing and that it is very important to express feelings. Read on to know all about it below!
What Did ScoutOP Say?
In the latest episode of Bigg Boss season 20, ScoutOP reportedly opened up about the last time he cried. He stated that he has only shed tears twice in 8 years and that it happened when he lost a tournament. Fellow contestant Gullu then stated that shedding tears over a lost dream or pride in yourself is a different kind of cry than getting emotional over some other individual’s problem or love life. Actor Kanikka Mann then shared sensible advice, where she reportedly asked both Gullu and Scout to cry if they felt like it, as it was not a bad thing. She mentioned that crying is an important way to express one’s feelings.
Here’s What We Think
It’s so sad when we hear such confessions. We feel that crying is as important as expressing any other emotion. It’s so sad that patriarchy wants men to express emotional distress in the form of anger and frustration rather than tears. They have conditioned men since childhood that expressing their emotions is equal to them being weak. This not only affects them but also their family, friends, and especially their partners. It’s so funny that when women cry or are vulnerable, they are labelled as “emotional” or “overdramatic”. We hope that people, especially men, realise that crying is absolutely okay! In fact, according to Healthline, crying might help with self-soothing. Additionally, research also found that crying activates the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), which helps your body rest and digest.
It’s time that we create spaces for people to cry, laugh, and be vulnerable without any judgement!
