Bharti Singh's body-shaming remark for Ayesha Khan During the episode, Warina, Ayesha, Tridha, and Parul Gulati arrived on site and sang the film's song Pahli Uddi Furrr. Shortly thereafter, Bharti tweeted, "Jab saari heroine aayi na, mujhe Ayesha ko dekh ke laga, Krushna phir se aa gaya, kyunki uski tarah lambi hai na (After seeing Ayesha, I thought Krushna returned because she is tall like Krushna)." Ayesha was visibly uncomfortable and ran towards Kapil Sharma, attempting to conceal her stomach with her hand. Kapil then questioned Bharti, "Was this a compliment or what?" Parul Gulati also informed Bharti, "You shouldn't have said this," to which she replied, "Sorry, I am pregnant." Netizens slam Bharti Singh The video rapidly went viral, with many viewers disappointed that Bharti joked about Ayesha's appearance.

On Monday night, the music composer took to his X handle and penned a long note, urging everyone not to link him up with her. He also expressed gratitude to her for taking care of him. Amaal Mallik requests to stop link-up with Tanya Takin to his social media, the singer wrote, “Bhai, yeh ek ‘TASK’ tha, and it’s not right if I act all egoistic and don’t do what the host or guests come and ask of us. If the show needs some people to pair up for a task, do a dance skit, or whatever it is… we have to. That’s the channel creative, and you guys are constantly making this into some nonsensical romance.” “I am grateful to Tanyamittal for the care and concern she has had for me this season. I know I’ve said things which must’ve hurt her and her fandom as well, but I am truly sorry for whatever I did in anger and to poke her. Just know such things happen, and that’s how one realises his or her shortcomings and works on them,” he continued. Bhai yeh ek ‘TASK’ tha and it’s not right if I act all egoistic and don’t do what the host or guests come and ask of us.If the show needs some people to pair up for a task, do a dance skit or whatever it is…We have to.That’s the channel creative and you guys are constantly… https://t.co/1euGo48Dna — Amaal Mallik (@AmaalMallik) December 15, 2025 “So I request you all to please stop linking us and expecting us to be interacting in a certain way. Linking her constantly with me is going to tarnish her image, and it is not something she or any girl deserves to be put through. I understand you liked our friendship/camaraderie, but the fans on either side must learn to respect people and their space. My Amaalians, I request you to stop mud-slinging, and I request TaniaFans to also respectfully start doing the same. Thank you,” Amaal concluded. About Bigg Boss 19 Talking about Amaal and Tanya, they shared a warm equation initially. From making elaichi (cardamom) water to emotionally supporting the singer, the two shared a great bond.

While Gaurav Khanna emerged as the winner of the show, Tanya and Amaal were also finalists.
