10 Lessons to learn from Oviya to lead a better life
From top film industry celebrities to the common men, everyone is celebrating, respecting and rooting for Oviya in Big Boss. What has made Oviya garner this much of respect and affection of the people is that her way of living in Big Boss presents her as an embodiment of many qualities that everyone of us want to have but many of us lack.
Here are the lessons Oviya has taught everyone by her way of living rather than preaching, to lead a better and life.
Love yourself
Most of us shower love on others but how many of us love our own self? Loving oneself is always considered as selfishness by most of us which is not actually true. Oviya always treads the cautious line between the two. She knows how she is important to her but never dumps others for her benefit. That makes her a special human being
Be courageous
Courage is something many women want to have but lack in it or they are tutored not to be bold in this patriarchal society. But Oviya is courageous and that only made her to raise her shoulders and challenge Sakthi to go ahead when he threatened to slap her. This lead to memes comparing her with male superstars such as Rajinikanth and Ajith.
Be diplomatic
Being courageous does not mean you always can pickup quarrel with others and put yourself in adverse situations. Oviya walked out of a conversation with Gayathri in front of all other members when the atmosphere turned in-conducive to hold dialogue. That's her level of diplomacy.
Be yourself
Oviya being a celebrity and a woman never hesitates to unleash the spirit of the moment. She roams around in modern clothes andmost of them are considered by many as 'indecent and inviting trouble by many people in the soceity. On the very first day of the show she went in front of camera and expressed her hunger and begged for a banana to eat. Right at that moment. her childlike self attracted everyone. She also never hesitates to keep dancing individually even when others act like they don't care about that.
Don't give up your self respect at any cost
Oviya is the most adjusting and friendly person but she has never given up her Self respect and act upon what she thinks as right. When she was forced to clean the toilet she stood her ground that she does not have to do that on a daily basis since cleaning it once in two or three days is enough to keep the toilets clean. She did not give up this stand even that would mean antagonising all other contestants.
Believe in yourself
We often tend to believe others and not our self. But Oviya is not like most of us. When most of the contestants turned against her during a particular incident and some tried or pretend trying to support her, she said I am the biggest support for me and I am proud about that.
Never ever back stab
Not speaking about someone when they are not present is a quality found in very few human beings. Most of us tend to speak about others when they are not present. Not that all of us or cowards to criticise one's mistake. It is mostly because most of us think that pointing out someone' s mistake will hurt the receiver and our relationship will get spoilt by that. Oviya has never done that in Big Boss. She has never spoken about a person to someone else. Even when Julie complained about others she just consoled her without speaking a negative word about those who made her cry.
Don't hesitate to apologise for your mistakes
If Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan taught us the greatness of apologising with one strong dialogue in 'Virumandi', Oviya has been teaching the same to us with her behaviour in Big Boss. Despite being an epitome of self respect, Oviya never hesitates to apologise for her mistakes at the moment she is convinced that she has made a mistake. There are so many instances to prove this and the most recent one is when she apologised for using the 'F' word towards a co-contestant.
Stand up for justice
Most of us are tutored to not involve ourselves in problems that do not affect us. But the right thing to do is always stand up for the justice and stand in solidarity with the people who are being treated in an unjust manner. Oviya just did that when Harathi unnecessarily targeted Julie. She even pointed out to the then leader Gayathri about her failure to play her part rightly and ensure fair treatment for Julie and Harathi.
Love thy neighbour
Loving your co human beings is something every sacred text on the earth teaches us. Oviya follows that so naturally without carrying any air about that. Even her quarrel with co-contestant Gayathri Raghuram originated from the fact that she did want not be the reason for the latter incurring bad name from others. And the way she consoled Julie at the time of pain and grief moved everyone including those who are convinced that the entire show is scripted.
