The drama inside the Bigg Boss 19 house has escalated with Nehal Chudasama's controversial remarks against fellow contestant Ashnoor Kaur. Nehal, who had been observing the game from a secret room, passed a comment that has been deemed "misogynistic and disrespectful" by many viewers.
During an ongoing disagreement between Ashnoor Kaur, Farrhana Bhatt, and Abhishek Bajaj, Nehal expressed her annoyance with Ashnoor's defense of her friendship with Abhishek. In a moment of frustration, Nehal suggested to Bigg Boss that Ashnoor should be eliminated because she was "doing nothing in the house apart from being the 'wife of someone'". This statement was perceived as a direct attack on Ashnoor's bond with Abhishek Bajaj, a connection that has been the subject of speculation among housemates. Despite Ashnoor and Abhishek clarifying that they are simply close friends, their bond has been repeatedly romantically linked within the house.
Nehal's comment has sparked outrage among fans, who have taken to social media to voice their disapproval. Many have criticized Nehal for undermining Ashnoor's identity and efforts in the game, arguing that Ashnoor has the right to play her game without being defined by her friendships. Critics also pointed out the misogynistic nature of the statement, as it reduces Ashnoor's presence in the house to her perceived relationship with a male contestant. The comment has been described as one of the most insensitive remarks of the season.
Inside the Bigg Boss house, Ashnoor has expressed being hurt by the constant attempts to link her romantically with Abhishek. She has made it clear that she wants to maintain her own identity in the house and does not want her bond with Abhishek to be misinterpreted.
Adding to the controversy, Rohan Mehra, Ashnoor's co-star from "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai," has also defended her against the negative comments. Rohan slammed Amaal Mallik and Shehbaz Badesha for making inappropriate comments about Ashnoor's bond with Abhishek Bajaj. He expressed his anger at people talking about Ashnoor, emphasizing her sensible, kind-hearted, and respectful nature.
This isn't the first time Nehal Chudasama has faced controversy during Bigg Boss 19. Previously, she was criticized for accusing Amaal Mallik of physically harming her during a task. Social media users slammed Nehal for making false allegations, with many defending Amaal and highlighting his good intentions during the task.
Ashnoor Kaur, who began her acting career at the age of five, is the youngest contestant on Bigg Boss 19. She is known for her roles in "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" and "Patiala Babes". Before entering the Bigg Boss 19 house, Ashnoor mentioned that Hina Khan, a former Bigg Boss contestant and co-star, helped her prepare for the show.
The current situation has left Ashnoor, Awez Darbar, Neelam Giri, Pranit More, and Mridul Tiwari nominated for eviction this week. Nehal, who was previously facing eviction, remains in the secret room and is expected to re-enter during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
