I realised the truth in this only when I watched <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bigg Boss<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Marathi, which is technically set up just like a chawl \u2013 a bunch of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/ughich-kashala-maharashtrian-dreams\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maharashtrians<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stuffed in one single dwelling with a common bathroom and kitchen. It is safe to say that the contestants in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bigg Boss <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">resemble those I encounter in the chawl every day. <\/span>\n\n<b>The Ray-Byan-wearing Kaka: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For starters, we have Mahesh Manjrekar who fits the bill of your quintessential kaka from another shakha with a bhagwa teeka, dressed in a crisp-as-a-shankarpali white khadi shirt, black trousers, and Ray-Byan-cha goggle. Whether it\u2019s the local <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/of-burning-men-and-sinking-gods-ganesh-chaturthi-festival\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ganapati visarjan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or the neighbour\u2019s funeral, this type of kaka is always barking orders; his life goal is to make it to a political party hoarding. <\/span>\n\n<b>Aai Don\u2019t Care:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Usha Nadkarni makes for the perfect matriarch \u2013 in chawl parlance, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/the-reluctant-feminist-feminism-marriage-sexism-patriarchy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aai<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Like every aai, expect her to be pretty blunt, have some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/grub\/teabags-tea-cutting-chai-chaiwalla-adrak\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chaha<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (tea) as the clock strikes saha (six), and indulge in some gappa-goshti (gossip). Her domineering aai avatar is probably the reason why the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bigg Boss <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marathi fam doesn\u2019t seem to want <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/tv\/news\/marathi\/bigg-boss-marathi-usha-nadkarni-nominated-for-eviction-feels-left-out-in-the-house\/articleshow\/63810525.cms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good old Usha<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> around. But aai don\u2019t care. Nadkarni is on top of her gossip game, judging like a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/mothers-judgemental-people-earth\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">typical mother<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the \u201cglamorous girls\u201d in the House. But to see true shades of her inner aai, just wait for a task that involves filling shiny, stainless steel pots with water. <\/span>\n\n<b>The Adarsh Dada:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After aai, next in the line of power in every Marathi household is the motha bhau (big brother).

They drew lusty looks from the men and crusty stares from the women. Thanks to their non-traditional dressing sense, which involves zero sarees and fewer nighties, the less-evolved inhabitants of the chawls \u2013 mostly the kakas \u2013 worry about their chances of finding a nice Marathi mulga, often labelling the girls as \u201cchaavat\u201d (naughty), but only when they are out of earshot, because hell hath no fury like a bai scorned. <\/span>\n\n<b>The Homely Tai:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Resham Tipnis is perhaps the only mulgi who is immune to Chocolate Boy\u2019s charms. She\u2019s the homely tai who loves to cook, the kind who\u2019ll remember just how much sugar you like in your chaha. Her clawing sweetness drives the Marathi male wild; her thalipeeth brings all the boys to the yard.

He\u2019s no different from your useless kaka who lounges around in shorts and a vest, giving you fukat (free) gyaan on everything from Elon Musk to Indo-Russian ties to your love life. Thatte Kaka is a man of great wisdom too, often seen in the outer rungs of discussions, talking to anyone who cares to listen about how he gets his jewellry from the US and his quirky fashion sense. The only thing that sets him apart, is his red-blonde hair and psychedelic dressing style, which begs the question, if a kaka drops acid in the forests of Lonavala and wanders close enough to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bigg Boss<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> House, does he automatically get a spot?
