'Bigg Boss 19': Salman slams Kunickaa for calling Malti lesbian
What's the story
Salman Khan, the host of Bigg Boss 19, has slammed contestant Kunickaa Sadanand for her "insensitive" remarks about fellow contestant Malti Chahar's sexuality. Cricketer Deepak Chahar, Chahar's brother, also confronted Sadanand over her comments in a recent episode. Now, in the latest promo released by Colors TV on Saturday, Khan was seen chastising Sadanand for the same.
Host's reprimand
'Why do you want to even land in such situations?'
In the promo, Khan said, "Kunickaa, in some matters, you looked very insensitive. Malti's brother told you clearly that the thing you said about Malti everyone found it very wrong. Why do you want to even land in such situations?" When Sadanand tried to defend herself, Khan interrupted her and said, "Ek second aap beechmein tokengi nahi chup chaap sunengi." She then asked him not to play the video of her comments, as it would embarrass her.
Controversial remark
Sadanand's controversial comment and Khan's rebuttal
The controversy began last week when Sadanand made a controversial remark about Malti's sexuality. During a verbal argument between Farrhana Bhatt and Chahar, Sadanand was heard saying, "I am 100% sure she's a lesbian." Her statement sparked outrage online, with many criticizing her for making such comments on national television. Even filmmaker Rohit Shetty called her out for the remark, but she tried to divert the topic by claiming she had commented in a different context.
Other reprimands
Khan's criticism of Amaal Mallik and Shehbaz Badesha
Apart from Sadanand, Khan also criticized contestants Amaal Mallik and Shehbaz Badesha for calling Bigg Boss unfair and biased. He slammed Mallik for only speaking ill about strong contestants like Gaurav Khanna, Bhatt, and Pranit More behind their backs instead of confronting them directly. He also reprimanded him for disrespecting Chahar. The new episode will air at 9:00pm on JioHotstar and at 10:30pm on Colors TV.
