On ‘Sunday Ka Vaar’ episode host Karan Johar labelled Bigg Boss OTT contestant  Zeeshan Khan’s comment ‘misogynist’ that women should stay within their limits during his argument with Akshara Singh. Zeeshaan’s co-contestant Milind Gaba felt that host Karan’s reaction was biased.

According to Quint, Karan Johar responded to Zeeshan’s comment and said, “This is the most misogynistic remark I have heard recently and I have heard a lot of remarks coming out of a man’s mouth. Let me tell you, this remark of yours reeks of misogyny and chauvinism.”

Zoom reported that Milind and Zeeshan in a discussion alleged that host Karan Johar only asked the female contestants’ opinion on this matter and didn’t bother to ask the male contestants’ opinion on the same.

In his discussion with Milind Zeeshan said, “I was termed a misogynist because of that one sentence and the 1000 sentences that were thrown at me by Akshara went unnoticed.”

Milind replied, “You spoke about her limits and he (Karan Johar) asked about every female contestant’s perception, but he never spoke to any of the boys, why?” 

Milind also added that Karan only let Shamita Shetty speak without interrupting her. “I found him (Karan Johar) biased,” he added.

Not just Milind and Zeeshan but also the viewers were of the opinion that Karan openly favoured Shamita Shetty over other contestants although Karan maintained that he was a ‘fair host’.

Former Bigg Boss contestants Suyyash Rai, Kishwar Merchant and Manu Punjabi also bashed Karan Johar for favouring Shamita and for not letting other contestants speak.

Bigg Boss OTT airs as a Voot exclusive for the first six weeks. After the completion of six weeks, the show will shift to television on Colors TV with actor Salman Khan as the host.
