Kunickaa Sadanand, Amaal Mallik, Shehbaz Badesha, Neelam Giri and Tanya Mittal, contestants on Bigg Boss 19 have come under fire for body shaming Ashnoor Kaur within the house.

Gurmeet Singh, Ashnoor's father has reacted angrily to their comments.

Her father posted a reel of comments made by Amaal, Kunickaa, Tanya, Neelam and Shehbaz regarding his daughter on Instagram on Thursday.

In response, he wrote, “Why is everyone so insecure about a 21-year-old? Oh, I know… they can’t match her levels of dignity and grace.”

Amaal and Shehbaz were seen talking together when Amaal commented about Ashnoor, “Ande jaisi shakal hai” (she has an egg-like face). Shehbaz added, “She has become a thepla.”

Tanya, Kunickaa, and Neelam were seated together at the same time talking about the food Ashnoor had made for the household.

They were seen debating over why the 21-year-old who was on a detox diet and regularly working out wasn't losing weight while they were seated at the dining table.

Neelam and Tanya commented, “Kitni moti hai, sara din gym karti hai fir bhi itni moti kaise? Uske dresses hum par zyada suit karenge.” (She’s so fat, how is she still so big despite going to the gym every day? Her dresses would look better on us.)

Tanya even claimed that Ashnoor looked older than them in a video clip shown by Bigg Boss. Kunickaa further added, “Even my 13-year-old granddaughter knows what to eat and what not to.”

Tanya was also heard calling Ashnoor "haathi" (elephant) during the ration task in a recent episode. She then proceeded to fat-shame Ashnoor, Neelam and Kunickaa.

Viewers were upset by these comments and demanded that Salman Khan call out the contestants during Weekend Ka Vaar for body shaming her on national television.

In addition to admirers, Ashnoor received support from celebrities like Rohan Mehra, Kamya Panjabi, Manu Punjabi and Gauahar Khan.
