In the latest controversy from Bigg Boss 19, popular influencer and former contestant Awez Darbar has come forward to support Ashnoor Kaur after she faced body-shaming comments from fellow housemates Tanya Mittal, Neelam Giri, and Kunickaa Sadanand. The incident, which unfolded during a recent episode and was also seen on the show’s live feed, has sparked widespread criticism on social media.
The controversy began when Ashnoor Kaur, during an emotional moment, apologised for breaking a house rule. While she was addressing the issue, Farrhana Bhatt was seen shouting at her, and moments later, Tanya Mittal, Kunickaa Sadanand, and Neelam Giri were caught making remarks about Ashnoor’s weight.
In a shocking moment, Neelam Giri was also seen jokingly asking her co-contestants, “Jurassic Park dekhoge?” while pointing towards Ashnoor — a remark that viewers called “disrespectful” and “cruel.” Meanwhile, Amaal Mallik and Shehbaz were also heard commenting on her body type during the discussion.
Reacting to the clip, Awez Darbar reshared a video from Ashnoor Kaur’s Instagram account on his Stories and slammed the contestants for their behaviour. He wrote,
“Disgusting remarks like always!!! But I know @ashnoorkaur is strong — she will handle it with grace.”
Fans flooded social media with messages of support for Ashnoor, applauding her calm and dignified response. Many also praised Awez for standing up against body-shaming and promoting positivity.
The Bigg Boss 19 house has been no stranger to controversy this season, but this particular incident has reignited conversations about body image, respect, and sensitivity on reality TV.
