Bigg Boss 19: Amaal Mallik uses a derogatory slur 'h*jra' for Abhishek Bajaj; Gauahar Khan slams former

Amaal makes a derogatory remark

During the clash, Amaal Mallik allegedly referred to Abhishek as “Adhkhopdi Hijra” — a derogatory slur that immediately drew backlash from viewers. The exchange left housemates shocked, with many calling out the composer’s choice of words as uncalled for and deeply offensive.

Netizens wasted no time in expressing their anger. While some demanded strict action from Bigg Boss makers against Amaal for his “insensitive and regressive language,” others criticised the show for allowing such content to be aired.

Gauahar Khan slams Amaal

Gauahar Khan also expressed rage against the same. She took to her X (former Twitter) handle to share, "Amaal should pay attention to the legacy he comes from that he claims so, kisi ke baap ko peeth peeche gaali dena bhi, gaali dena hota hai. Bail buddhi ki aulaad ??????? Really low. Ya phir ye bhi hawa mein gaali bolke dil ko dilaasa diya (If you speak ill and abuse behind someone, that is also counted. Son of a fool? Will you now pretend that this is just a light comment for the sake of the matter?) I hope he gets pulled up for this language on wkw! #bb19."

Earlier, Gauahar had also slammed Amaal for speaking rudely to Kunickaa Sadanand, "Yes she is picky, pointy and irritating with her instructions, but I feel really bad with how most ppl speak to kunicka ji. She’s 61 yaar, thoda toh khyaal rakho tone ka. (Watch your tone, she is 61) #bb19. Amaal can’t handle authority. Position of authority comes with responsibility."

In the recent episode, Amaal was speaking with Abhishek Bajaj and Ashnoor when he decided that Kunickaa was attempting to create drama in the kitchen even though she had no employment there. Amaal then joked that he wouldn't follow commands from her because he was not her "servant."

Nagma Mirajkar and Natalia were the first participants ousted from the show last week.
