Bigg Boss 14 is all about surviving while fighting and building friendships. These fights happen over different issues and one of them is body-shaming. In the recent episodes, we saw Rakhi Sawant and Aly Goni target Arshi Khan over her body figure. While Rakhi called her Charbi Ki Dukaan, Gosht Ki Dukaan and Saandni, Arshi didn’t react to it. But when Aly made a comment on Wajan, she charged right into the kitchen and schooled him. She told the actor that he had no right to comment on her weight and food intake. Aly defended himself and said that he didn’t mean to talk about her weight but suggested her to improve her grey cells. This resulted in an ugly spat between the two.
However, this isn’t the first time Arshi has faced body-shaming comments. During her time on Bigg Boss 11, Priyank Sharma commented on her and Shilpa Shinde’s body weight. He said, “Shilpa wo bhaag bhi nahi sakti theek se. Saand jasi bodies hai unki (Shilpa and Arshi). 70-80 kg ke to ban gaye yahan par kha kha kar, task perform karenge. (Shilpa cannot even run properly. They have bodies like a bull. They have touched 70-80 kgs by hogging inside the Bigg Boss house, how will they perform the task).” Many fans and Salman Khan himself slammed Priyank for his distasteful comments.
Salman gave Priyank a huge verbal lashing for his statements while Arshi didn’t create a ruckus about it. He stated that Shilpa cooked three times for the whole house. He also added that she has enough fitness to manage that much housework. This season Rakhi Sawant commented that Arshi Khan wore nighties to hide the flab on her hips. She also compared the size of her hips to that of a sofa set. It will be interesting to see if Salman Khan schools Rakhi Sawant and Aly Goni for their statements during Weekend Ka Vaar.
