Awez Darbar’s Strong Reaction: 'Disgusting Remarks Like Always!'

Awez took to his Instagram Stories to show solidarity with Ashnoor. He reshared a video originally posted by Ashnoor Kaur’s team, which depicted the uncomfortable incident inside the house.

In the clip, Ashnoor is seen apologizing for breaking a house rule, while Farrhana Bhatt shouts at her. Soon after, Tanya Mittal, Kunickaa Sadanand, and Neelam Giri make comments about Ashnoor’s weight. Even Amaal Mallik and Shehbaz Badesha are seen discussing her body type. In the live feed, Tanya and Neelam continue the discussion about Ashnoor’s appearance. Tanya remarked that despite Ashnoor’s regular gym sessions, she appeared to have gained weight. Neelam added that her daily workouts didn’t seem to be helping, expressing disbelief at her weight gain.

In another clip, Neelam jokingly asked Kunickaa and Tanya, “Jurassic Park dekhoge? (Will you see Jurassic Park?)” - pointing towards Ashnoor, who was standing nearby with Pranit More. Kunickaa’s laughter followed, adding to the humiliation.

Awez reposted the video with a powerful message, “Disgusting remarks like always!!! But I know @ashnoorkaur is strong she will handle it with grace.” (sic)

Jannat Zubair Stands by Ashnoor Kaur

The incident has sparked outrage both online and off. Television star Jannat Zubair was among those who publicly supported Ashnoor.

Sharing her thoughts on Instagram Stories, Jannat condemned the body-shaming remarks, writing, “A person's body is not public property for jokes and opinions. It's 2025. We should've evolved past body shaming by now. She's on that stage because she's talented, confident and unstoppable, not because she fits someone's idea of a "perfect body". Proud of you @ashnoorkaur for holding your head high and being You! (white heart emoji).” (sic)
