Bharti Singh and Ayesha Khan
Comedian Bharti Singh returns to host the third season of the reality cookery show Laughter Chefs. Kapil Sharma and the Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 actors recently made an appearance on the show to promote their flick. While Bharti is known for her sense of humour, her comment regarding Ayesha Khan's appearance sparked outrage among viewers, who accused her of body-shaming the actor on national television.
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. One reader wrote: "Bharti is rude to most women on the show, participants or guests, and body-shaming jibes from someone who became famous largely because of her own appearance are ironic." A different participant posted, "This wasn't funny and was plain disrespectful towards bigger-sized women, even though Ayesha isn't even that."
A third person wrote, "I really felt horrible for Ayesha here. "The comment was strange." Another added, "Bharti is simply a misogynist. Just fact she is a working woman does not alter her perspective. Even if you watch her vlogs, you will feel this. "The joke was not even funny." Another reply stated, "This doesn't sound good. She is uncomfortable, and this is indirectly body-shaming."
