Mumbai, Sep 13 (NationPress) The most recent episode of Bigg Boss 19 sparked an intense discussion regarding the importance of sensitivity and responsibility when housemates Farrhana Bhat and Nehal Chudasama made comments about Kunickaa Sadanand supposedly facing issues with memory loss.
The remarks, made during a confrontation, visibly upset Kunickaa, who expressed her anger towards the two for casually invoking terms associated with mental health. She firmly reminded them that such language should never be used lightly, especially in arguments, revealing that her own mother suffers from memory loss, and she comprehends the profound impact it has on both the patient and their family.
Amaal Mallik, currently serving as the house captain, offered strong support for Kunickaa's position and criticized the careless use of mental health issues, particularly in conflicts. He emphasized that conditions like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, and memory loss are not only medical conditions but also carry significant emotional weight for the affected families. Amaal shared that his grandparents also faced mental health challenges, giving him firsthand insight into the struggles involved.
He sternly addressed both Farrhana and Nehal, stating that it is profoundly inappropriate to use terms like 'memory loss' so lightly, both within the Bigg Boss house and in everyday life. Nehal acknowledged the sensitivity of the matter, recognized her error, and apologized, admitting she could have chosen her words more carefully. Amaal suggested using the term 'forgetful' instead of memory loss.
The confrontation escalated during the captaincy decision-making task when Nehal and Farrhana accused Kunickaa of denying commitments she made to them, claiming her current behavior was selfish. They stated that her actions were appalling and, in a fit of anger, implied she might have memory loss issues.
