Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Mohanlal slams Lakshmi for disrespectful remarks against Adhila and Noora, says “I will welcome them to my home”

In one of the most intense and emotionally charged weekend episodes of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, host Mohanlal took a firm stand against contestant Lakshmi for making derogatory remarks against fellow contestants Adhila and Noora, who are known for being the first openly lesbian couple on the show. The confrontation, which took place during the weekend episode, drew widespread attention both inside and outside the Bigg Boss house, stirring conversations around LGBTQ+ acceptance and respect.The controversy stemmed from a heated argument between contestants Akbar and Lakshmi, during which Lakshmi made an offensive comment about Adhila and Noora. The spat, initially centered around personal differences, took an ugly turn when Lakshmi criticized the lesbian couple, suggesting they were not worthy of being welcomed into someone’s home and that they held no value in society. These statements were perceived as deeply disrespectful and homophobic, sparking outrage among viewers.Host Mohanlal, known for his calm demeanor and balanced hosting, took a noticeably firm stance during the weekend episode. The actor started the conversation by playing back the clip of the argument, showing Lakshmi’s remarks in full context. Following the video, Mohanlal directly questioned Lakshmi:“Who are the ones who can't be welcomed to your home? Who are the ones who don’t have value in society? Who are the ones living without a job?”Lakshmi remained silent at first but later defended her statement, claiming she was against "normalizing homosexuality" and that her comments were based on sentiments allegedly expressed by Akbar’s mother, who had shared her discomfort with Adhila and Noora.

Mohanlal, visibly disturbed, responded strongly, “They are not living at your expense. They are doing their jobs, living with dignity. What kind of statement was that? Society has accepted them. We have accepted them. If you had a problem with this, you shouldn't have come to this show. No one forced you. We have welcomed many such people into this platform, and proudly so.”Making his stance unmistakably clear, Mohanlal added, “I will welcome them to my home. Let them come to my home.” His words were met with applause from the housemates and visible relief from Adhila and Noora, who appeared emotional but happy. Mohanlal praised the duo for being employed, self-sufficient, and courageous in living their truth, a direct counter to Lakshmi's insinuations.Mohanlal also expressed disappointment in the rest of the housemates for not standing up or calling out the remarks at the time. Adhila, visibly emotional, thanked Mohanlal for addressing the issue with such clarity and empathy.
