Family Week in Bigg Boss 19 continued to bring heartfelt and significant moments, and one of the most notable came with the entry of Kunickaa Sadanand’s son, Ayaan. His presence not only uplifted his mother but also provided an opportunity to address a controversy that had sparked widespread backlash outside the house.
Kunickaa had earlier referred to Malti’s sexuality inappropriately on national television, a remark that drew heavy criticism across social media. Viewers condemned the veteran actress for her insensitive comment, calling it outdated and unacceptable.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Ayaan took it upon himself to speak directly to Malti the moment he got the chance. In a calm and respectful manner, he apologised on behalf of his mother, acknowledging that the remark should not have been made.
He further explained, “Mom is 60 years old, and things were different in her time.”
Ayaan’s reasoning was an attempt to put the comment into perspective, highlighting generational differences while still taking accountability. Malti listened to him quietly, and the interaction appeared to ease some of the tension created by the incident.
The apology was appreciated by viewers, many of whom felt it showed maturity and responsibility from Ayaan. His gesture also brought a brief moment of reflection within the house, especially as the contestants continue navigating complex interpersonal equations during Family Week.
As the season progresses, this moment may serve as a reset in Malti and Kunickaa’s strained dynamic, though it remains to be seen how both contestants move forward after the exchange.
