Kunickaa Sadanand made a controversial remark about Bigg Boss 19 co-contestant Malti Chahar while they were both on the reality show. This led to public outrage, even drawing criticism from Malti’s brother, cricketer Deepak Chahar, when he entered the house during family week, followed by Salman Khan and Rohit Shetty.

In a later episode, Kunickaa Sadanand even apologised for her statement when Salman Khan confronted her for her “insensitive” and “unacceptable” remarks. Yet again, Malti Chahar’s father, Lokendra Singh Chahar, slammed the veteran star in a recent interview. In a video posted on Instagram, which featured the actress posing for the lens after her eviction from Bigg Boss 19 on day 91, a text overlaying it hinted at the same.

The text read, “Malti’s father on family week ‘Kunickaa ji ki class lagti, acha hua mai nahi gaya’.” It was further captioned as “Malti Chahar’s father, Lokendra Chahar slams Kunickaa Sadanand, for passing personal comments on his daughter.”

In the video, the 61-year-old looked stunning in a bright green saree. She teamed it with Kundan polki jewellery, glam makeup and a half-done open hairdo. Additionally, her graceful smile finished off the diva’s charm.

Malti Chahar’s Father Reacts To Kunickaa Sadanand’s Remarks About His Daughter

In a candid conversation, Lokendra Singh Chahar revealed his honest sentiments after learning about the veteran star’s statement. He also mentioned that it was better he did not visit the Bigg Boss 19 house during Family Week, as he would have reprimanded Kunickaa.

“No one would be hurt more than a father to hear such a thing about his daughter. A father can tolerate anything but nothing against his daughter. There are sentiments attached to a father and daughter. It was good that I didn’t visit (the house) or else I would’ve taken Kunickaa ji’s class,” he told Filmygyan.

When Kunickaa Sadanand Apologises For Her Comments About Malti Chahar

During a conversation with fellow contestant Tanya Mittal, Kunickaa whispered that Malti was “100% sure that she is a lesbian” and that she could observe it from the latter’s behaviour in the house. This comment sparked significant controversy, and viewers of the show had even expressed anger on social media for commenting on someone’s sexuality on national television.

Later, when Salman Khan confronted Kunickaa for her statement, she apologised to the audience and clarified, “I’m ashamed of what I’ve said. Some things have happened in this house, which I realized myself, that I didn’t even know I had this side. I considered myself a very low-key and composed person, but maybe it was the atmosphere at home, or maybe it was just something inside me.”

She continued, “I don’t want to blame anyone. I’m really sorry. I even told Malti on her birthday and apologized to the entire family in front of her brother. I’m not saying whatever I have said about Malti is correct, and I’m ashamed of myself.”

Salman then lauded her for acknowledging her mistake.
