She went on to share how proud she was of Ashnoor for holding her head up high. Hina continued, "A 21 year old girl is being shamed repeatedly for her height, weight and look on National Television by Another Bunch of Women, who have seen the world way more than her. #SHAME. I am beyond proud of @ashnoorkaur for handling the whole thing with so much poise, sensibility, clarity and maturity. Although she could have made a big issue out of it but She didn’t do Any Drama, no fake tears, no sympathy, no unnecessary poking, or used this as an opportunity to grab cheap attention coz she’s not desperate..That speaks for her character, values and culture instilled by her parents."

She explained, "Our Appearance, Looks and Health is just not an outcome of our life choices, sometimes, it’s also our Genes. I know it too well. Remember, Women specially endure greater health issues because of Hormonal Imbalances. From Mood Swings, Fatigue, Insomnia, Irregular Menstruation, Weight Gain, Dry Skin, Weight Loss to Chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypo or hyper thyroid, infertility, obesity etc. We can’t change our Genetics and we’ve got to bear the consequences. I know what it takes to battle against our own Genetic Susceptibility. It is life altering and massively depressive and restrictive. Ask me how it feels when it’s in the GENES.""Yes, We all make mistakes. I too have, But when mistakes are repeated often without remorse, it’s convenience and plain ole arrogance. I wish Empathy finds them who disagree and love for all. You look so so pretty my gurl," she concluded.The recent episodes saw Captain Pranit More leaving the house for a medical emergency. He has not been eliminated but moved to a secret room so he can recover from dengue.
