When it comes to the Bigg Boss house, nothing seems impossible after 14 seasons. Several fights have occurred on the popular reality show over the years, with intense rivalries between competitors making headlines and stunning revelations keeping fans riveted to their television sets. The age-shaming remarks are among the other harsh comments made by participants (whether in-joke or anger), and they have often raised eyebrows.
A participant was recently spotted age-shaming another on one of the Bigg Boss OTT episodes. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Several candidates have been mocked because of their age throughout the course of several seasons.
Shamita Shetty
Contestant Akshara Singh made a remark about Shamita’s age on a BB OTT episode. While fans flocked to social media to defend Shamita, Akshara was chastised for saying, “Shamita toh mere mummy ki umar ki hai.” Kashmera Shah, a former Bigg Boss participant who has endured similar age-shaming insults, attacked Akshara on social media for the remark.
Sidharth Shukla
Late actor Sidharth Shukla, the Bigg Boss 13 winner, did not have an easy time in the house. Despite the fact that he played well from the start, some contestants made fun of his age on a regular basis. After a fight with Sidharth, Mahira Sharma body-shamed him and dubbed him a ‘buddha’ in a fit of rage. For her remark, she received a lot of backlash on social media.
Eijaz Khan
Jaan Kumar Sanu body-shamed Eijaz in season 14, stating he looked like a skeleton. “Bhaago mat, umar ke liye achcha nahi hai (don’t run, it’s not healthy for your age),” Rahul Vaidya told Eijaz during an interview. While Eijaz took the criticism in stride and ignored it, viewers were ready to defend the actor.
Kashmera Shah
Kashmera, a former Bigg Boss participant, got into a fight with co-contestant Nikki Tamboli for a variety of issues. Nikki later took Kashmera’s name during one of the nominations and stated that she did not respond to the latter’s statements since she respects her age. Kashmera was enraged when Nikki made a remark about her age while nominating her, and she burst into tears as a result of the incident
