Indian cricketer Deepak Chahar, who entered the Bigg Boss 19 house to meet his sister
Malti Chahar, during the family week, stole the show. The moment he entered the house, he began teasing his sister Malti, and their sweet sibling chemistry instantly won hearts. However, after meeting the housemates in person and talking to them, he finally expressed what he didn’t like about their behavior toward his sister.
When Kunickaa Sadanand questioned Deepak about whether he had seen her arguments with his sister, the cricketer brought up the incident when Kunickaa had labeled Malti as a ‘lesbian’. Before bringing up the issue, Deepak warned her that the topic might upset her. He said, "Aapne agar kisi ko lesbian bola yaa gay bol diya, toh ye bahot bada platform hai. Main ye nahi kahunga ke aap galat bol rahe ho yaa jhooth bol rahe ho, aapne ye bola tha ke main 100 percent sure hoon, ke woh lesbian hai, ye bahot galat baat hai."
(If you call someone a lesbian or gay on such a huge platform, it becomes a serious matter. I’m not saying you were wrong or lying, but you confidently stated that you were 100 percent sure she is a lesbian — and that is extremely inappropriate)."
Malti, who was unaware of the word used against her, called her mean. However, Deepak calmed her down. He further says, "I am not here to instigate a fight. All I want to say.. ye married toh hai nahi, agar isne bhi kisi ke baare mein toh woh bhi married nahi, toh agar married nahi hai koi aur agar aap uske baare mein bol do toh... uski iss how ke baad mein hosakta hai ke logon ke dimaag mein image baith jaaye woh."
(She isn’t married. When you make such comments about someone who isn’t married, it can affect how people perceive them. After a show like this, such remarks can create a lasting image in the audience’s mind..)
Malti immediately pointed out that Kunickaa’s son had apologised to her during his visit to the house, but back then, she had no idea why he was saying sorry.
Kunickaa tried to cover it up by denying she ever said that, and on top of that, Farrhana began taunting her by saying that ‘Kunickaa must have seen something to make such a comment.’ This remark didn’t go down well with Malti, who lashed out at Farrhana.
Deepak further explained his point and said, "Bahot saare log aaj kal ke time me freely accept kar sakte hain ke woh kya hai (about their sexual preferences). There is freedom in our country and till the time you don't here from someone about their sexual preference, you should not tag that person. This is not just about this show but real-life also."
Kunickaa apologised to Malti and Deepak and stated that she is not homophobic. "My best friend is a lesbian. So I am not homophobic. I was just concerned about the memes," Kunickaa added. However, Malti interrupted and clarified that she is not and asked her to stop staying that word again and again.
