, has responded to their remarks with a strong and dignified reply.On Thursday, Gurmeet Singh took to Instagram and reshared a reel that featured the contestants’ demeaning comments about his daughter. Along with it, he wrote, “Why is everyone so insecure about a 21-year-old? Oh, I know… they can’t match her levels of dignity and grace.” His response quickly went viral, with fans applauding his calm yet powerful reaction to the situation.The controversy began when Amaal Mallik and Shehbaz Badesha were caught on camera mocking Ashnoor’s appearance.

During a conversation, Amaal said, “Ande jaisi shakal hai” (she has an egg-like face), to which Shehbaz added, “She has become a thepla.” The exchange immediately drew backlash from viewers who called their remarks unnecessary and cruel.

In another part of the episode, Tanya Mittal, Kunickaa Sadanand, and Neelam Giri were seen gossiping about Ashnoor while sitting at the dining table. They commented on her body, questioning why she hadn’t lost weight despite following a detox diet and working out regularly.

Neelam and Tanya were heard saying, “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 big despite going to the gym every day? Her dresses would look better on us.

) Tanya further claimed that Ashnoor looked older than them in a video clip shown by Bigg Boss. Kunickaa then added, “Even my 13-year-old granddaughter knows what to eat and what not to.”Later, during the ration task, Tanya again targeted Ashnoor, calling her “haathi” (elephant) while laughing with Neelam and Kunickaa. These repeated comments left fans outraged, leading to widespread criticism on social media. Many viewers demanded that Salman Khan address the issue during the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode.Celebrities like Gauahar Khan, Kamya Panjabi, Manu Punjabi, and Rohan Mehra also spoke in support of Ashnoor, slamming the contestants for promoting body-shaming on national television.
