Ashnoor
Kaur's father was among the first ones to enter Bigg Boss 19 house during family week. Tanya Mittal, who had earlier body-shamed Ashnoor, tried to touch his feet, but he refused. After the episode was aired, netizens opined that Ashnoor's dad was rude to Tanya as he didn't allow her to touch his feet on Bigg Boss 19. And now, in an exclusive interview with Zoom/ Telly Talk, the actress' father has set the record straight.
Ashoor Kaur's father speaks up
In an exclusive chat with us, Ashnoor's father said, "As a practice,
humare ghar mein betiyon ko paav nahi chhuate. Maine bas usi cheez ka maan rakhke, maine mana kia hai. Isliye nahi ki mujhe koi gussa hai ya kuch uske liye mere mann mein kuch hai. Haan, jo baatein hui hai ghar ke andar Ashnoor ke baare mein, vo kisi bhi parents ko chubegi."

The Bigg Boss 19 contestant's dad further expressed that, "
Apne bacche ke baare mein koi bhi alag baat karega toh usko chubhegi (ye baatein). Maine bade pyaar se aur samjhane ke tareeke mein Tanya boli (baatein). Because har ek baccha pyaara hai apne maa-baap ko. Koi bhi maa-baap nahi chahenge ki unke bacche ke baare mein koi galat bole. Chahe vo kahi par bhi ho."

Loose translation: As a habit, daughters are not allowed to touch feet in our house. Considering that, I refused. Not because I am angry or have any ill feelings towards her. Yes, whatever has been said about Ashnoor in the house, it will hurt any parent. If anyone says anything different about their child, it will hurt him. I spoke to Tanya with great love and made her understand. Because every child is loved by their parents. No parent wants anyone to say anything negative about their child, no matter where they are.)
