Mumbai: ‘Bigg Boss’ season 7 winner, actor Gauahar Khan, who seems to be following the 19th season of the reality show very closely, recently slammed Tanya Mittal for body-shaming Ashnoor Kaur by calling her ‘Haathi’.
Lashing out at Tanya for her remarks, Gauahar called her comments about Ashnoor ‘absolutely disgusting’.
Gauahar took to her Instagram handle on Friday and shared a video saying, “Initially, I used to think Tanya was very sorted, innocent, a bit dramatic — and quite entertaining. I still find her entertaining, but the way she’s been body-shaming Ashnoor behind her back is absolutely disgusting. She called her ‘haathi’ (elephant) during a task and said things like, ‘She doesn’t look 21,’ ‘She’s so chubby,’ and ‘She’s putting on weight.’”
She further added, “I just don’t understand why someone would comment on another person’s looks and then talk behind their back, saying they don’t look good. Everyone has the right to feel and believe that they’re beautiful. And if you think you’re at the top of beauty standards, that’s fine. But if you put others down to make yourself feel prettier, then you’re not beautiful at all. Khoobsurat hone se zyada, khoobseerat hona important hai. Jitna bhi aap achhai ka chola pehan lo, agar aapki soch achhi nahi hai toh aap khoobsurat nahi ho sakte (Because more than being beautiful, it’s important to be good-hearted. No matter how virtuous you pretend to be, if your thoughts aren’t kind, you’re not truly beautiful).”
During a recent task in the house, Tanya tried to block Ashnoor by holding her hand, but failed.
While discussing about the task with Farhana Bhatt, Tanya said, “Farhana dekh itna bada haathi (Farrhana, look! She is such a big elephant).”
Later, she was seen discussing the same thing with Neelam, “Bohot moti hai yaar (She’s very fat).”
To this, Neelam added, “Bohot aggressive bhi hai, moti toh hai hi (She’s very aggressive too and fat also).”
Tanya’s remarks didn’t go down well with the viewers, who criticized her for body-shaming Ashnoor and called her ‘insecure’.
Fans are eagerly waiting for host Salman Khan to address the incident during the ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode.
