The inaugural week of Bigg Boss 20 has been marked by controversy, centering on five-time world boxing champion Mary Kom.

This incident has ignited a wave of criticism on social media platforms, with many expressing shock and disappointment that such comments would come from an athlete of Kom's stature. Users shared clips of the alleged remarks, questioning the appropriateness of body-shaming on a public platform.
