Bigg Boss OTT is constantly making headlines. On the second Sunday Ka Vaar, viewers saw host Karan Johar blast at Zeeshan Khan over a comment of his. In a fight with co-contestant Akshara Singh, Zeeshan had said: “Ladki ho toh daayre mein raho (You are a girl, stay in your limits).” The comment had made KJo very angry, who had then scolded Zeeshan on Sunday’s episode. Now, the TV actor is getting support from his industry colleagues.
Reacting to this comment, Karan had said: “This is the most misogynistic remark I have heard recently and I have heard a lot of remarks coming out of a man’s mouth. Let me tell you, this remark of yours reeks of misogyny and chauvinism.”
Now, Zeeshan’s friends and television actors have come out in his support. Nearly all called out Karan for not even giving Zeeshan a chance to state his side of the argument.
Kumkum Bhagya, actor Reyhna Pandit, took to her Instagram Stories and wrote: “Zee u have maintained ur dignity in every situation. I know you and I know ur not portraying. What happened yesterday was unfair to you but I know it’s gonna make you only stronger. More power to you, sending you lots of love. #zsquad #beautifulmaninsideandout”
Tina Dutta, too, came out in support of Zeeshan. Taking to IG stories, the actress wrote, “Right and wrong shouldn’t change because of who you are or how much work you have done or how many followers you have or whether you are a male or a female. Right and wrong are like black and white, the colors are definite, then why go into the grey areas?”
“Zeeshan was not wrong and not being given a chance on the weekend episode to even give his side is WRONG! For a girl to get physical, to call names, and yet getaway and for the boy to bear the brunt is not Fair! And then he’s not even a chance to speak!!!! You can not think that the audience can not see through, our audience today is smart enough to see what is happening,” she added. Actor Krishna Kaul, also from Kumkum Bhagya’s cast, wrote: “I strongly feel Zeeshan should be given a chance to explain himself about what happened. We’re with you bro #bigbossott @theonlyzeeshankhan.”
On Monday’s episode, Zeeshan and fellow a contestant were spotted discussing the Sunday fiasco. As per the report, they agreed that the filmmaker didn’t speak with the boys. Zeeshan said, “I was termed a misogynist because of that one sentence and the 1000 sentences that were thrown at me by Akshara went unnoticed.”
To this, Milind added, “You spoke about her daayra (limits) and he (Karan Johar) asked about every female contestant’s perception, but he never spoke to any of the boys, why?” He also said that Karan allowed Shamita Shetty to speak but no one else. He further said, “I found him biased.”
