But then that's unfair to contestants who stayed from Day-1. In all previous seasons we had original contestants winning the jackpot. This season seems different. You argued earlier that Sunny's been here only for a month as compared to others so she doesn't deserve the phone call as much as others. That's why I used that argument of original contestant and WCs. Who decides which duration is enough?
Hima: Again, my argument is not that Amar got to speak with his kids, not Sunny. I think Sunny too deserved at least one phone call. Last week everyone got to meet family members and today again one got to speak with his son. Just one phone call from her spouse is not too much to ask.
But I presume that it was the Vodaphone caller who decided Amar's phone call so it was her decision. She probably thought Amar deserved to speak with his kids.
I am speaking from the perspective of the caller...because the TM thinks the caller was stupid/unfair. He should have chosen Sunny. He could choose one person NOT both! Between Amar, Sunny, and Juhi...Amar seems deserving candidate not for winning the show..but for being ALLOWED to talk to his kids.
The only contestant who was there a week before Amar was--- Juhi...
So the choice is between Juhi & Amar. Juhi has NO kids...Amar has. So even though she stayed JUST ONE week longer ...STILL Amar has more people that are an everyday part of his life...whom he misses...while Juhi got to meet that ONE person.
Sunny...has endured the pain of being separated from her loved one --since ONE month!!!...about 1/3rd the time...
From a rational perspective...there is a different between 4 weeks of separation...and 10 weeks of separation--ACCORDING to me!
ITs not the question of whether BOTH should have got the opportunity...it is the question of who deserved it MORE...the vodaphone caller couldn't pick two--so he picked one, based on:
Amar's separation was BOTH deeper and longer...than BOTH Juhi and Sunny.
Longer than Juhi...because...after 10 weeks she HAD got to meet the complete SET of who was the inseparable part of life(Her complete set comprised of just 1 person)--while Amar did NOT get to see his inseparable part of life...because his life is NOT only his wife..but his kids too..and sometimes you miss kids even more...
Longer than Sunny...come on 4 weeks v/s 10 weeks...not one-not two--a difference of SIX weeks...is itrocket science to understand the difference in the length of time...and the mental effect of the LENGTH of separation from your loved one??
You're saying BOTH Amar and Sunny should have got the chance...the caller had just ONE choice to pick from--and he definitely chose the one who deserved it more..
