Mumbai: Ever since Karan Veer Mehra lifted the Bigg Boss 18 trophy, fitness influencer Rajat Dalal’s fans have been expressing their disappointment by sharing abusive posts and issuing threats to the winner’s friends and well-wishers on social media platforms.
Recently, actor Ashita Dhawan, one of Karan’s friends, received abusive messages from Dalal’s fans.
She lashed out at them for their toxic behaviour by referring to them as “chappris sitting on tappris, Rajat Dalal ke dalal” (Posers sitting on shacks, agents of Rajat Dalal).
“To all the trollers, haters, age and body shamers, chappris sitting on tappris, the faceless, baseless Dalal jhund who call themselves an army! You have crossed all boundaries of humanity and disgraced and disregarded me and my family for merely giving my opinion (when asked). You have taken the time and trouble to go to my oldest posts and bombard my comment section with hate, abuses, curses, and whatnot. I’m in shock and disbelief at the misuse of democracy in the name of freedom of speech. This is a slap on your face from the Almighty! Jinke peeche tum jaise log hai, unka zindagi mein kuch accha nahi ho sakta. Tum fan nahi, gunde ho (You are not fans, you are troublemakers),” wrote Ashita.
Things turned ugly when Karan reposted Ashita’s story on his Instagram handle.
Reacting to Karan’s Instagram post, Dalal shared a video message in which he indirectly threatened the Bigg Boss 18 winner and his friends.
Warning Karan and his friends against involving his name or family in the controversy, Rajat said in the video, “If you have something to say, say it to me directly. Do not involve the name ‘Dalal.’ Aap shehri paplu-taplu ho, aapko nahi pata hisaab-kitaab kya hote hai. Idhar ka koi bura maan gaya toh aapko bohot dikkat ho sakti hai (You city folks are naive; if someone here takes offense, you could land in serious trouble).”
Dalal and Karan Veer shared a bitter relationship since they entered the Bigg Boss 18 house. They were often seen getting into verbal spats and threatening each other on the show.
