The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 has triggered intense backlash after a fiery argument between contestants, Amaal Mallik and Abhishek Bajaj turned personal and offensive. The fight began over something seemingly trivial, where Abhishek chose to eat his dinner on a sofa that Amaal slept on, but it quickly spiralled into name-calling and derogatory remarks, drawing heavy criticism from viewers across social media.
Amaal Mallik crosses the line with sexist comments towards Abhishek Bajaj
During the confrontation, Amaal told Abhishek not to eat on the sofa, saying he slept there. As Abhishek refused to budge, Amaal began shouting and insulting him. At one point, he said that Abhishek should go home and wear a saree, bangles and a bindi. The remarks were seen by many as deeply sexist, with netizens calling out the implication that being like a woman is an insult.
Amaal Mallik also called Abhishek Bajaj a ‘naukar’
Things escalated further when Amaal called Abhishek a ‘naukar’ (servant) during a separate argument involving food. This came after Abhishek got upset with fellow contestant, Baseer Ali, for taking food from his plate without asking. Rather than de-escalating, Amaal taunted him and used the demeaning term, further fueling the audience’s anger towards him.
Netizens demand accountability for offensive behaviour by Amaal Mallik
Soon after the episode aired, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disapproval. One user wrote, “Calls Abhishek ladki’ and say he wears saree bangles isn’t just a weak shot at him, it’s an insult to women too.” Another added, “Calling someone a naukar shows your cheap mentality… he is far better than you.”
