Body-Shaming Controversy Rocks Bigg Boss 19
Controversy has erupted inside the Bigg Boss 19 house after multiple contestants, including actors Kunickaa Sadanand, Tanya Mittal, and Neelam Giri, along with Amaal Mallik and Shehbaz Badesha, were caught on camera body-shaming fellow housemate, 21-year-old actor Ashnoor Kaur.
The offensive remarks have drawn widespread condemnation from viewers and television celebrities alike, with fans demanding host Salman Khan address the issue on the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
Father’s “Savage” Reply Defends Daughter’s Grace
In a swift and powerful defense of his daughter, Ashnoor Kaur’s father, Gurmeet Singh, took to Instagram on Thursday to respond to the housemates’ comments.
Gurmeet Singh shared a reel showcasing the various derogatory remarks made by Amaal, Kunickaa, Tanya, Neelam, and Shehbaz about Ashnoor. He addressed the group’s actions directly, writing a defiant message:
“Why is everyone so insecure about a 21-year-old? Oh, I know… they can’t match her levels of dignity and grace.”
The Contestants’ Derogatory Remarks
The comments made by the contestants were both personal and relentless:
- Tanya Mittal, Kunickaa Sadanand, and Neelam Giri were discussing Ashnoor’s weight, despite her efforts to maintain a fitness routine. They were heard speculating on her diet and exercise regime, with Neelam and Tanya commenting, “Kitni moti hai, sara din gym karti hai fir bhi itni moti kaise? Uske dresses hum par zyada suit karenge” (She’s so fat, how is she still so big despite going to the gym every day? Her dresses would look better on us).
- Tanya went further, claiming Ashnoor looked older than them in a video clip. Kunickaa added, “Even my 13-year-old granddaughter knows what to eat and what not to.”
- During a recent ration task, Tanya was even heard calling Ashnoor “haathi” (elephant), continuing the fat-shaming alongside Neelam and Kunickaa.
- Separately, Amaal Mallik and Shehbaz Badesha also weighed in on her appearance, with Amaal remarking that Ashnoor “has an egg-like face” (“Ande jaisi shakal hai”), to which Shehbaz replied, “She has become a thepla.”
Industry Support and House Dynamics
The body-shaming incidents have led to an outpouring of support for Ashnoor Kaur from various celebrities, including Gauahar Khan, Manu Punjabi, Kamya Panjabi, and Rohan Mehra, all of whom criticized the contestants for their behavior on national television.
In other house news, the week saw a major shake-up in nominations. After Gaurav Khanna’s move saved Abhishek and Ashnoor from being nominated alone, almost the entire remaining house is now up for eviction. Pranit More has been named the new captain of the house, setting the stage for a tense Weekend Ka Vaar where Salman Khan is expected to address the ongoing toxicity.
