Justice for Farhana? Still missing.”“Instead of bashing Amaal, @BiggBoss makers:- 1)Gave final warning to #AbhishekBajaj & #FarrhanaBhatt, 2)Biasedly called his father-uncle & gave him emotional sympathy with feedback, 3)No bashing, Salman again put his action blame on other.”“Makers conveniently ignored how he sl*t-shamed #FarrhanaBhatt & instead tried to build sympathy for him, How long will this cr*p work? Just bcuz Farrhana isn’t a crybaby or a “sorry woman”? Makers are busy justifying & whitewashing everything this man did ridiculous!”Criticism grew stronger as users recalled how former contestants had faced harsher treatment in past seasons. A viral post read, “Remember when gautam gulati got boycotted for calling tanna “b*tch”? remember when sid dey ws badly bashed for passing derogatory comments on shehnaaz? amaal malik used the r word and it was completely ignored. look at how far we have come.”“I miss when wkv used to be brutal and justice used to be served, this wkv was all about whitewashing amaal, they behaved like that every coin has two sides, why tf someone will take a coin when it’s one side is fake.”For the unversed, emotions ran high in the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 as Amaal Mallik’s father, veteran music composer Daboo Malik, appeared on stage to address his son’s conduct. Amaal’s recent remarks about Farrhana Bhatt and her mother have gone viral on social media, drawing widespread criticism for his choice of words.
