However, moments later, Bharti Singh made a comment that many viewers found inappropriate. Bharti said, “When all the heroines came in, when I saw Ayesha, I thought Krushna has come again, because she’s tall and well-built like him.” The comment visibly made Ayesha uncomfortable. She was seen quickly moving towards Kapil Sharma while trying to cover her stomach with her hand. Sensing the awkwardness, Kapil asked Bharti, “Was that a compliment or what?”

Actress Parul Gulati also intervened, telling Bharti, “You shouldn’t have said that.” Bharti responded by saying, “Sorry, I’m pregnant.” The clip from the show soon went viral on social media, triggering widespread criticism. Many users accused Bharti Singh of body-shaming Ayesha Khan on national television, calling the joke insensitive and unnecessary. One user commented, “Bharti is mostly rude to women on the show. How can she body-shame someone when she herself became famous because of her appearance?”

Another wrote, “This wasn’t funny at all. It was insulting towards women with larger bodies, and Ayesha isn’t even big.” A third comment read, “I felt so bad for Ayesha. That moment was extremely awkward.” Some users went further, accusing Bharti of having a misogynistic mindset, despite being a successful working woman. Viewers also pointed out that humor should not come at the cost of someone’s dignity.
