Mumbai The controversy has deepened over the comments made about Bhojpuri actress Amrapali Dubey in the reality show Bigg Boss 20. During an argument between Gullu and Amrapali during a task of the show, Gullu compared the pair of Amrapali and Luv Gill to the cartoon characters Motu-Patlu. Amrapali's sister Aanchal has expressed strong displeasure on this comment. Targeting Mahi Vij and Gullu, he raised the question that how can it be acceptable to make fun of someone's body.
Sharing her reaction on social media, Aanchal said that it is wrong to target someone's body on national television. He says that even during disagreement or dispute, one should use respectful language. It is not fair to make someone's physical shape a laughing matter.
Amrapali's team also expressed objection
In this matter, Amrapali's team also raised questions on the comment. The team said that earlier characters like Chhota Bheem, Indumati and Chutki were mentioned in the show, but comparing them with Motu-Patlu is a different matter. Calling it body shaming, the team said that such comments are coming to the fore again and again.
'Identity created through talent and work'
Supporting her sister, Aanchal said that Amrapali has made a mark in the entertainment world on the basis of her acting, talent and brilliant presentations. He said that no matter what Amrapali's body shape is, her success and popularity among the audience should not be judged by it.
According to Aanchal, if there is a dispute with someone then it should be answered with logic and respect. He questioned why there is a need to make personal comments when an artiste's work or performance can be criticized.
The family is proud of Amrapali
Aanchal, in her response, said that Amrapali's work is more important than any personal comment. Expressing pride in his sister, he said that his family will always stand with Amrapali.
After this incident in Bigg Boss 20, the debate has intensified regarding the boundary between entertainment and personal comments in the show. Aanchal's objection has once again brought the issue of body shaming and respectful behavior towards artistes into discussion on public platforms.
