Bigg Boss isn’t therapy—it’s a gladiatorial pit where egos clash, alliances shatter, and insults are currency. From “buddhi ghodi laal lagaam” to casteist slurs and family-baiting meltdowns, the show has always rewarded those who can swallow venom with a smile. Ashnoor Kaur, a 21-year-old child-star-turned-veteran (Yeh Rishta, Patiala Babes), signed the dotted line knowing the drill: no weak hearts allowed. Past seasons dished out far uglier abuse without a ripple. So why the nationwide uproar when Tanya Mittal and Neelam Giri branded her “moti,” “haathi,” and ridiculed her “fugge jaisa mooh”?
The backlash isn’t fragility; it’s 2025 speaking. Body-shaming—especially relentless, gendered fatphobia aimed at a young woman sweating through workouts—strikes a nerve in an era obsessed with mental health and body positivity. This wasn’t clever strategy; it was clique gossip, replayed on live feeds, giggled over like gossip-girl tea. Fans and stars like Jannat Zubair aren’t shielding a “Gen-Z snowflake”; they’re torching normalized cruelty on prime-time TV.Ashnoor didn’t crumble—she confronted the duo, called it “cheap mentality,” and kept slaying tasks. The outrage is grassroots, not scripted. It unmasks hypocrisy: roast a man’s belly or baldness and it’s “banter”; target a woman’s weight and it’s still “entertainment.” Salman Khan’s silence (so far) on Weekend Ka Vaar only stokes the flames—if he ignores this but skewers others for less, that’s the real VIP pass.No one wants Ashnoor exempt from the game. She’s battle-hardened and thriving. But rejecting fatphobia isn’t weakness—it’s evolution. Until insults land equally across genders, this uproar isn’t noise; it’s justice
