What's real ? What's fake?

First of all, wishing all of you a very happy and prosperous new year. May this year gives you insight to know the unknown.

After so may days, we have something interesting in Bigg Boss 8. In the luxury budget task" Freeze", we caught some expressions which were true from the heart and some which were faked to their best.

1. Puneet


When he sees his wife, he immediately calls her name with surprise. In surprise, we typically see eyebrows going up and and open mouth. We can also see surprise in Ali's face.

2. Karishma


Karishma was unsure when Puneet's wife came to her. But when she says she wants to hug Karishma, Karishma closes her eyes with a smile, which symbolizes the acceptance of hug. Also, she gets emotional during the hug, which she quickly controls.

3. Diandra enters


Pritam is surprised seeing Diandra here, but if we see Gautam, surprise is missing.


In the next moment we see, Pritam's surprise is still continued , now with a smile. Whereas, Gautam is flashing a micro expression of fear here, which is being masked by a smile. Now, why is he scared of Diandra, that we don't know.

4. Diandra- Karishma


When Diandra says Karishma, about the confession room talk ( Whom to save) . Karishma gives an expression of surprise, to convince Diandra that she hasn't done anything. Anyway, we know, the truth, that Karishma did say she wanted to save herself, But here, we are looking at the body language and micro expression. If Karishma is truly surprised, the eyebrows would have gone up, even a little bit , which is being faked here,


When Diandra says Karishma, she is coming across like Selfish and self-centred in the show, we catch a quick curling of lips,that too one sided. This one sided smile here is a micro expression of Contempt, which is implying she is happy to hear that.

5. Diandra- Gautam


When Gautam is "released" by Bigg Boss after the "freeze", we don't see any excitement in any of his actions, signifying he is not happy to see Diandra. He also closes his eyes and puts his hands on the face,covering face means not wanting to see whatever is happening. The other thing to notice here is Diandra's feet. The legs are pointing towards Gautam. And immediately after the "freeze" , she moves towards Gautam. She definitely likes Gautam too much.


We see in the picture Diandra , moving ahead of Gautam, and also touching the neck area. Actually, the area she is touching is known as Suprasternal Notch, the area below the neck where the collar bones meet. It is a self soothing gesture, to comfort oneself during nervousness. So, we know that Diandra is also nervous but in a happy way, to meet Gautam.


If we see here, we can see Diandra and Gautam sitting in a coffee table, but if we look closely, Diandra is very comfortable in her seat, whereas Gautam looks really uncomfortable. Another thing to notice here, is how Gautam is pushing himself back, as if he has been sticked to the back of the chair. This way of sitting of Gautam tells us, he doesn't want to be associated with Diandra at all.


A moment later, Gautam is smiling here with Diandra, but look at the hands, which are down and crossed in front of the vital parts , this is again a symbol of nervousness and being uncomfortable. If you look at the legs , they are also pulled back and are not in rest, symbolizing, Gautam wants to get up and doesn't want to be seated there any more. On the other side ,look at Diandra. Her hands are on the table, which shows honesty. Legs are at rest and pointing towards Gautam, meaning, she is wants this date to go on and doesn't want to go back. The body is leaning forward suggesting she is interested in the conversation.


When a person is telling the truth , it is very hard to control the emotions. Here, when Diandra says, whatever happened between them ,was never a part of game, she cries. This sadness (of the idea of using that for the game) is real, because we see oblique eyebrows here. And by baselining Diandra, we know, whenever she gets emotional she becomes very active physically, she moves her hands a lot, shifts her places etc, which also happens here. Diandra is really sad here.

6. Gautam


Now, this is the real surprise expression which we see in Gautam's face, which was missing when Diandra entered the Bigg Boss house. Gautam is surprised here, by seeing his brother Mohit Gulati.


The Bigg Boss 8 is a very nice show to know and read the house-mates Non verbal communications. 

We will be posting blogs on other issues, and if you want to know or decode any special case, do let us know.

Stay tuned.

Is Rene trying to woo Upen?

The aggressiveness of Rene is missing from few days. It seems she is trying to get close to Upen.
Let us figure it out, how so?

1. Concealed smile


On the weekend ka vaar ( Sunday, 3rd day for Rene), when Salman says Upen ," Aapne bahut achcha kaam kiya hai". We caught Rene smiling on the statement, glancing down. This smile was more of a pride smile, when we smile for someone we like. The down glance and smile implies hidden liking.

2. Generalisation


Not once,twice but thrice, Rene used generalization statements , when Salman asked her, if Upen was partial or not. We use generalization for a supposed yes/no answer when we don't want to lie. It was evident again that she wants to remain in good books with Upen.

3.  Fake Blushing

When she mentions Upen "was" her crush, she hides herself in cushion,faking that she is blushing. She hides the cushion and quickly removes it. A genuine blush lasts a little longer, because the person takes a little longer to come out the feeling.

4. Try to exchange glance


Rene tries to exchange glance when something funny happens, which is a typical teenager action. Usually teenagers do it, when they have crush upon someone. They try to exchange glance with the person they like .

5. Feet pointing



Out feet are one of the most powerful body parts for Non Verbals. We subconsciously point our feet towards the person whom we like . In the above picture, Rene is talking to Aarya, but her feet is pointing towards Upen, symbolizing while she is in conversation with Aarya , she is still thinking about Upen.



Again look at the direction of her feet. They are pointing towards Upen. She is really into him.

6. Angle of torso




 If at all you can't see the pointing of legs, have a look at the torso. The torso, or the upper part of the body will be angled at the person we are interested in.

7. Lending a shoulder of support


This is Rene offering a hug to Upen, after Aarya went on Sunday. She knows Upen & Aarya were good friends and now she is trying to lend her shoulder to Upen.

8. I'll be close

Now this is very interesting, Rene's liking is upto a level, where she can't hide it. She goes wherever Upen goes. She sits wherever Upen sits.






Ohk, so we know, she is behaving like a typical teenager.
This is bit off the topic , but look at Upen's surprise,when he sees Diandra is feeding Gautam.
Ok, moving on.


She comes from a corner of the room, to calm Upen down , when Upen had an arguement with Ali.

The last one is funny. Just have a look at Upen & Rene.





Good or Bad? We don't know...but Upen is not into it yet. We'll know that, because before they speak, their body will.

Stay tuned for more.

Captaincy Mere Haath Mein


P3G is broken and it's official now. The competition for the captaincy did it all.

Let us look at the non verbals of the housemates before ,after and during the task .

1. Dimpy
When Dimpy hears that all the housemates have to give a name for the captaincy, she starts playing with her ring,suggesting she is not happy with the idea. These kind of movements are call Manipulators.
If you see this gesture by a person( playing with wedding ring),when you mention their marriage,that means they are going through some problem in their married life.
However, this is not the case here. It is a classic use of manipulator,meaning not liking what is just being said.


2. Praneet
When Upen suggests Praneet's name for captaincy, Praneet starts fondling his beard and the neck area,which means he is calming himself down to not look very happy. This gesture is called "Self Soothing "gesture. We do this gesture,when we are trying to comfort ourselves. ( We could not capture it in lens)

3. Karishma
Karishma is not at all happy with the idea of Gautam's name being suggested. 

4. Preetam 
While discussing re-election, we can see Preetam with a stance of ownership. This is a very dominating stance and is also very confident, suggesting Preetam is very confident about what he is saying, which was, Gautam wants to be captain. 

5. Puneet
When Upen says Puneet,why didn't he give his name for captaincy,Puneet answers, he thought he was not eligible for the captaincy. The catch is, when he says that, he does a one sided shoulder shrug,meaning he doesn't believe that. We see one sided shoulder shrug in case of non surety .
One sided shoulder shrug is hard to catch on picture,therefore, we didn't include it.

6.  Praneet
Praneet just couldn't hide his smile when Diandra recommends Praneet for captaincy. He tries to conceal it, but gives a micro expression of happiness.


7. Diandra
Then it is Diandra who shows hesitation by rubbing her nose while announcing Gautam was supported by majority, for captaincy.  


She also gives a "Mouth shrug" when she names Gautam implying deep embarrassment for him.


8. Praneet 
When Praneet says Dimpy ," Actual mein ,main captain banna hi nahi chahta". He immediately retreats from his position to little bit back as if he is not the part of the statement he just said. 

He also rubs his eyes mentioning, he does not have any interest in captaincy . This behavior is called Eye blocking behavior,where we subconsciously try to shut out eyes on people, or what ever is being said , like they don't want to see the person whom they have just lied,or backing off from the person.



9. Praneet again 
Praneet was already angry with Gautam,but the anger suddenly escalates when Gautam measures the trust factor on percentage 100,90,80,70,60,50,40,30,20 to 0. 
Look at the disgust on Praneet's face, poor Preetam,he thinks Praneet is cutting joke, 


10. Dimpy
Dimpy is happy that they are fighting, we caught just a glimpse of her, trying her best to hide the smile.

11. Preetam
Preetam has been passing comments on women every now and then, however , he pretends to be funny. But the deep hatred for women was obvious when he says out loud to Dimpy,that Dimpy broke their friendship and also some comment about women " Jahan jahan gayi hai,isne gharon ko break kiya hai".
You can look the angry glare and pressed lips of Preetam just before he taunts Dimpy. 


On an average 10 mins conversation two people can send out up to 800 non verbal signals to each other. Therefore, every movement of body matters. 
There are many more twists and turns to come. 
Stay tuned.

The Wild Cards

So, we saw that two beautiful girls are inducted into Bigg Boss 8 house Rene & Dimpi.

Rene

Since, Rene was the first to come , we'll look at Rene's Non Verbals first. Rene uses a lot of words like " dhamaal " " phod diya" " watt " " Thali maar deti "  through statement analysis we know such words symbolize aggressiveness.

1. Open


She is very open to all. Her gestures are always open when she talks. She rarely closes herself in the first day which is good because she wants to be friends with everyone.

2. Confident


Look at the way she is sitting. The "Elbow pop" is a sign of confidence and power . She thinks herself as powerful and is very confident about her game plan.

3. Pacifiers


However, she starts using pacifiers when people present there talk about her to become captain, suggesting she is calming herself down. She does want the same, but also wants to go very slow on that.
We noticed a series of pacifiers during the conversation.





Dimpi 

Unlike Rene, Dimpi is very girly and seems calm. 

1. Head tilts


She gives a head tilt while meeting people , but not all. Head tilt is generally for those, whom we like, to portray ourselves as soft and gentle. 


2. Introvert 




Her posture says it all. She is very closed and will take time to open . Look at how she has closed herself. 


Crystal clear opposite personalities 

Rene and Dimpi are just opposite to each other, Rene is open and bold whereas Dimpi is calm and shy. 

Lets see how their journey goes. 

Stay tuned...
