A mother brings a child to life and by the virtue of their mother tongue, the child takes the first words. So, there is no doubt that one has emotional connections attached to their language. Bigg Boss claims to be a show which has participants from varied backgrounds. So, when a contestant makes a statement that clearly hurts someone’s sentiments, the series takes a clear stand.
In a recent episode, Jaan Kumar Sanu was seen having an argument with Nikki Tamboli. There, he told her not to talk around him in Marathi as not being able to understand the language irks him. He said, “Marathi mei mat baat kar, mere saamne mat baat kar, meko chid hoti hai. Sunaauga teko, mere saamne Marathi mei mat baat kar. Dum hai toh Hindi mei bol warna mat baat kar, chid machti hai meko.” This ended up angering a lot of figures as well as the common public who took offense to the statement. The producers of the show then put up an apology on their official media handles.
Now, the show has given a chance to Jaan to make a public apology. In a recent video uploaded by Colors TV, the singer was seen acknowledging his mistakes and promising not to repeat them ever again. It was captioned as, “Jaan Kumar Sanu apologies for his remarks in relation to the Marathi language made on the Bigg Boss episode aired on Tuesday, 27th October.” In that video, we can see Bigg Boss giving him the reality check that the show has people from different backgrounds and no one has the right to hurt the feelings of other people. He then agrees to his wrongdoings and asks for forgiveness from everyone.
Check out the apology:

His mother Rita Bhattacharya had come in the defense of her son on 28th October. She claimed that the only reason Jaan used such words was the fact that he did not understand the language.
