Ayaan defends mother Kunickaa after Ashnoor Kaur's body-shaming controversy

Talking to India Forums, Kunickaa Sadanand's son Ayaan explained, "Jurassic Park ka dinasaur kyu hai (Ashnoor)? Jab vo ande ka task huya tha, aap poora live feed dekhenge toh Ashnoor aur Abhishek ne sabko nomination me khaa liya. Aap poora dekhiye. Nomination ki baate live feed me isiliye cut hoti hai kyunki Monday tak episode nahi aata. (Translation: Why is the dinosaur from Jurassic Park (Ashnoor)? When the egg task happened, if you watch the full live feed, you’ll see that Ashnoor and Abhishek dominated everyone during nominations. You should watch the whole thing. The nomination discussions are cut from the live feed because the episode doesn’t air until Monday)."ALSO READ: Bigg Boss 19: Gauahar Khan Supports Ashnoor Kaur; Calls Tanya Mittal, Neelam Giri 'Insecure Women' On talking about the body-shaming comment, Ayaan mentioned, "Ab aayi body-shaming ki baat. Tanya ne bola, Neelam ne bola, mummy ne kuch nahi bola. Neelam ne kaha ki Ashnoor koi detox kar rahi hai. Toh mummy ne kaha ki "vo sahi se nahi kar rahi hai, mere 13 saal ke baccho ko bhi pata hai ki detox kese karte hai". Ye unka opinion uske detox par hai, ek word bata dijiye uske weight par. My mother has had issues with her weight, I have had issues with my weight. Vo ek 21-22 saal ki ladki ko body-shame nahi karengi.(Now coming to the body-shaming issue, Tanya said it, Neelam said it, but my mom didn’t. Neelam mentioned that Ashnoor was doing some kind of detox. So my mom said she wasn’t doing it properly and added, “Even my 13-year-old kids know how to do a detox.” That was just her opinion about Ashnoor’s detox, not her weight. Please point out a single word she said about her weight. My mother has struggled with her own weight, and so have I. She would never body-shame a 21–22-year-old girl)."

For the unversed...

In the episode, Tanya was seen mocking Ashnoor’s looks and saying that her nice outfits “don’t suit her.” Neelam took it further by comparing Ashnoor to a dinosaur, referring to her as Jurassic Park. The comments quickly drew flak online, with fans expressing anger over the contestants’ insensitivity and bullying behaviour.
