Ashnoor Kaur On Being Body-Shamed
Trying to hold back her emotions, she said, “My body would swell up after coming on set. As a child, even as a teenager, I tried many things. There was a phase when I was afraid of food. I wouldn’t eat, I would starve. I lost 9 kg before coming here.” Salman Khan empathized with her, saying, “I used to gain weight too.” Ashnoor continued, “Since I was 14, I’ve been growing up in front of the camera. I haven’t touched junk food since then.”

Ashnoor further said, “Everyone here knows who eats with me. They tell me to eat a little, but I don’t. Everyone’s body is different. When someone claims to be spiritual and caring but mocks others behind their back, it’s not right. You’re not just insulting me, you’re hurting everyone who struggles with body issues. Tanya, you should be ashamed.” Ashnoor also revealed that she has visited the medical room multiple times to deal with her health problems but has not seen much improvement.

Contestant Abhishek Bajaj stood by Ashnoor, saying that she often talks about maintaining a healthy diet and that such comments have deeply hurt her. His support was appreciated by fans, who praised him for standing up against body-shaming. Initially, Tanya Mittal denied remembering what she said. However, after Salman pressed the issue, she apologized to Ashnoor. But Salman wasn’t convinced. He said, “You’re only apologizing to keep this issue from escalating, not because you’ve realized your mistake. You first said you didn’t remember anything, but now suddenly you do.”
