Gauahar Khan, a former winner of the popular reality show Bigg Boss, has publicly called out Tanya Mittal for her alleged body-shaming of Bigg Boss 19 contestant Ashnoor Kaur. Khan expressed her strong disapproval on social media, condemning Mittal’s comments about Kaur’s weight and appearance. Khan described Mittal’s behavior as “absolutely disgusting,” citing specific derogatory remarks such as calling Ashnoor an “elephant” and questioning her youthful appearance due to her “chubby” and “weight-gaining” physique.
Khan highlighted an incident where Mittal’s comments about Ashnoor’s dress were seen as passive-aggressive and mean-spirited. She elaborated on how Mittal seemed to imply Ashnoor looked less attractive than another housemate, Neelam, in a similar outfit. Khan emphasized the importance of kindness and inner beauty, stating, “If you think you are beautiful by putting others down, then you are not beautiful at all.” She believes that true beauty emanates from a good heart and soul, irrespective of external factors like clothing or physical appearance.
Reports suggest that Mittal’s alleged body-shaming comments, including calling Ashnoor an elephant during a task, have been corroborated by discussions with Neelam Giri. In recent live feeds, Mittal and Giri were reportedly heard discussing Ashnoor’s weight gain despite her consistent efforts at the gym. They also critiqued an outfit Ashnoor wore during a “Weekend Ka Vaar” episode, suggesting it was unflattering for her body type and would have suited Mittal or Giri better. This conversation has fueled significant public anger.
Fans and viewers have taken to social media to voice their strong condemnation of Tanya Mittal and Neelam Giri, accusing them of crossing a line with their insensitive remarks towards Ashnoor Kaur. Many feel that such body-shaming comments are unacceptable, especially directed at a young contestant. The incident has sparked a debate about body positivity and respectful conduct within the highly scrutinized environment of Bigg Boss.
