Bigg Boss 19 Contestants Accused of Cruelly Body-Shaming Castmate Ashnoor Kaur

On October 28th, 2025, a controversy erupted in the Bigg Boss 19 house after contestants Tanya Mittal and Neelam Giri were caught on the live feed body-shaming their fellow castmate, Ashnoor Kaur. The two were seen discussing Ashnoor's weight gain, with Tanya commenting that even after regular gym sessions, Ashnoor had still put on weight. Neelam joined in, saying that despite her daily workouts, Ashnoor's body didn't show any difference.

The conversation took an even more cruel turn when Tanya and Neelam started criticizing Ashnoor's outfit from a recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode. They claimed the dress didn't suit her body type and that they would have looked better in it. Tanya went on to mock Ashnoor's face, saying she looked like a "balloon," while Neelam commented that she resembled a "grandmother."

This clip soon went viral on social media, leading to massive outrage among viewers. Fans expressed disappointment over Tanya and Neelam's remarks, accusing them of body-shaming and targeting the 21-year-old Ashnoor without any justification. Many praised Ashnoor's maturity and confidence, saying she handled the situation with grace despite the harsh criticism.

Viewers also criticized the so-called "influencers" inside the Bigg Boss 19 house, questioning their behavior and the show's makers for not addressing the issue. This controversy has added more drama to an already tumultuous season, further highlighting the need for greater sensitivity and respect towards contestants' appearances and body types.
