Mumbai, Oct 28 (NationPress) Renowned television actress Jannat Zubair has come forward to defend 'Bigg Boss 19' participant Ashnoor Kaur following an incident where housemates Kunickaa Sadanand, Tanya Mittal, and Neelam Giri made body-shaming remarks about her in a recent episode of the reality series.
Through her Instagram Stories, Jannat expressed, "A person's body is not public property for jokes and opinions. It's 2025. We should've evolved past body shaming by now. She's on that stage because she's talented, confident, and unstoppable, not because she fits someone's idea of a 'perfect body'. Proud of you @ashnoorkaur for holding your head high and being you!" (white heart emoji) (sic)
Previously, Ashnoor's co-star from 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' and former 'Bigg Boss 10' participant Rohan Mehra also took to social media to lend his support.
Condemning Kunickaa, Tanya, and Neelam, Rohan stated, "Body shaming is unacceptable. What happened to @ashnoorkaur today was wrong and needs to be called out. Respect and kindness should be the bare minimum. Shame on you, @iam_kunickaasadanand, @neelamgiri_, and @tanyamittalofficial" (sic), accompanied by a thumbs down emoji.
Rohan and Ashnoor portrayed siblings in the beloved series "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai".
For those unaware, during a recent episode of "Bigg Boss 19", Neelam asked Kunickaa and Tanya, "Jurassic Park dekhoge?" (Will you watch Jurassic Park?) while pointing at Ashnoor, who was standing with Pranit More. Kunickaa responded with laughter.
Additionally, Tanya and Neelam were seen discussing Ashnoor's noticeable weight gain. Tanya remarked to Neelam that although Ashnoor works out at the gym daily, she appears to have gained weight.
Tanya noted that Ashnoor had previously lost a significant amount of weight but has now regained some, resembling her mother.
