Bigg Boss 20 has witnessed yet another heated exchange, with Aamrapali Dubey facing backlash after calling fellow contestant Aman Gandhi a "struggler" during an argument. The Bhojpuri actress' remark did not sit well with several viewers, who accused her of making personal comments about Aman's career and questioning his professional journey.
During the latest episode, Aamrapali hit back at Aman while asserting her position in the entertainment industry. She told him, '12 saal se hoon shehzaadi jaha pe hoon waha ki. Teri tarah struggle nahi kar rahi. Chal struggler.' She also claimed to be aware of rumours surrounding Aman, prompting the actor to ask her not to bring matters from outside the show into the Bigg Boss house.
The exchange soon spilled onto social media, where viewers criticised Aamrapali for what they perceived as a dig at Aman's career. One user called out the actress for 'mocking' his profession and bringing his personal life into the argument, while also referring to another recent controversy involving Love Gill.
Another viewer questioned Aamrapali's repeated references to contestants' careers, pointing out that she had previously made comments about Arishfa Khan and had now targeted Aman. Several reactions described her remarks as insensitive, with some viewers arguing that calling someone a "struggler" was an attempt to belittle their journey in the entertainment industry. A user wrote, "Amrapali is calling Aman Gandhi a struggler, but despite being so famous, she's doing same show with a struggler. Kis Baat ka ghamand hai is Amrapali ko."
A section of the audience also highlighted the irony of Aamrapali and Aman being part of the same reality show despite the actress' comments about his professional standing. One social media user wrote that if Aman was indeed a 'struggler', as Amrapali suggested, both contestants were still competing on the same platform. A netizen added, "Amrapali calling Aman a struggler, but its funny because both of them are on the same show together, even after she's supposedly a "superstar"!!"
Meanwhile, Aman's team appeared to address the controversy through a social media post featuring a mockery video. They alleged that the provocations directed at Aman were deliberate and said that despite his attempts to respond respectfully, the attacks continued to become personal.
Netizens are now curious to know whether Salman Khan would take up this matter in Weekend Ka Vaar and who will be at fault?
