The comment made by Aman Gandhi, a contestant on Bigg Boss 20, has led to criticism on the internet, with viewers accusing the actor of making a comment with a religious connotation.

The debate occurred within the Bigg Boss house, and in a clip that is spreading on X Gandhi is heard saying to Qazi, “population bada rahe ho” (you are increasing the population). The comment has now been widely shared, some spectators seeing it as a reference to the usual religious stereotype concerning Muslims and population growth.

Aman Gandhi’s remark on Qazi Touqeer draws criticism

After the 1st round of BB News Task, housemates Scout and Yung and others were pouncing on Qazi Touqeer for his admission that he did not say sorry to Kanika Mann for his lollypop joke.

During the argument, Qazi also had a confrontation with Aman Gandhi, who then uttered “You guys are pregnanting and increasing population of our country.”

Although the phrase in question relates to population growth, people who are online have associated it with Qazi’s Muslim background and have claimed that it has a religious implication.

A number of social media users criticised Gandhi for introducing a delicate topic into a personal dispute.

Qazi Touqeer has faced several heated exchanges

Qazi has become one of the more noticeable contestants on Bigg Boss 20, with his views and arguments frequently turning into topics of discussion among the viewers. He has also had disagreements with a number of other housemates during the season.

Previously, Qazi came under criticism for his “lollipop” comment about Kanika Mann, and Aman Gandhi was one of the people who raised objections to Qazi’s remarks during the following discussion.

Gandhi and Qazi have more recently been found on different sides of the debates concerning the other contestants, so that their relationship within the house has become more confrontational.

The most recent remark about ‘population’ has now introduced a further dimension to their continuing disagreements. Although some viewers have regarded it as an insensitive comment from a religious point of view, others have doubted if the viral clip gives sufficient context to establish what Gandhi meant.

At the moment, the controversy is mainly caused by viewers’ responses on social media, and the comment is still sparking discussion about the contestants’ ever-more-tense relationship.
