Aamrapali Dubey’s sister, Aanchal, has criticised Gullu and Mahhi Vij following a reported body-shaming controversy on Bigg Boss 20. The dispute arose after Gullu allegedly compared Aamrapali Dubey and Love’s pairing to the cartoon characters Motu and Patlu during an argument in a task on the reality show.
The remark has drawn objections from Aamrapali’s family and team, who questioned why comments about contestants’ bodies are becoming part of on-screen disagreements. Aanchal defended her sister, arguing that criticism should focus on a person’s actions and performance rather than physical appearance.
The controversy has also prompted Aamrapali’s team to highlight what it described as a difference in how remarks about various cartoon characters have been treated on the show.
Why Did Aamrapali Dubey’s Sister Criticise Gullu and Mahhi Vij?
According to the supplied account, the argument began during a task in a recent episode of Bigg Boss 20. The exchange reportedly escalated when Gullu compared Aamrapali and Love’s jodi to Motu and Patlu.
Aanchal subsequently questioned why Gullu and Mahhi Vij could allegedly make remarks about her sister’s body without facing criticism for their comments.
“Why is it so easy for Mahhi Vij and Gullu to body-shame Aamrapali (my sister) and get away with it? Body-shaming is never okay. A person’s body should never be the subject of ridicule, especially when their body of work speaks for itself,” Aanchal said.
She argued that a contestant’s physical appearance should not become a target during a disagreement, adding that her sister’s professional achievements deserved greater attention than personal remarks.
Aanchal’s response has placed the focus on the distinction between criticism during a reality-show argument and comments that can be perceived as mocking someone’s body.
Aamrapali Dubey’s Team Questions the ‘Motu Patlu’ Comparison
Aamrapali’s team also issued a statement questioning how references to cartoon characters had been discussed on the programme.
The team referred to an earlier conversation involving Chhota Bheem, Indumati and Chutki during Weekend Ka Vaar. It argued that the earlier discussion was not body-shaming, but questioned whether the comparison involving Motu and Patlu would receive similar attention despite, in its view, being a clearer instance of body-shaming.
“Chota Bheem, Indumati and Chutki ke baare mein Weekend ke Vaar par baat hui thi… (jabki woh body-shaming tha bhi nahi). Toh kya ab Motu Patlu par bhi baat hogi? (Jo clear-cut body-shaming hai aur baar-baar ho rahi hai),” the team said.
The statement raises questions about consistency in how such remarks are addressed on the show. However, the full episode and the context of the earlier discussion should be reviewed before drawing conclusions about how the two incidents compare.
‘Agar Fight Dena Hai Toh Dignified Tarike Se Dena,’ Says Aanchal
Aanchal further defended her sister’s standing in the Bhojpuri entertainment industry, saying that Aamrapali’s success had never depended on her physical appearance.
“No matter what shape or size Aamrapali has been, she has always been a hit in the industry, winning hearts with her talent and performances. Body-shaming is not an achievement,” she said.
She also urged the contestants to keep their disagreements respectful.
“Agar fight dena hai toh dignified tarike se dena… jab Aamrapali ke against kuch point nahi mila toh ye remarks shuru kar diye? Your body of work is what truly matters,” Aanchal added.
She concluded by expressing pride in her sister and saying that Aamrapali’s professional work mattered more than personal comments directed at her.
The remarks underline the family’s position that arguments on reality television should not cross into ridicule based on body shape or size.
Who Is Aamrapali Dubey?
Aamrapali Dubey is a prominent actress in the Bhojpuri film industry. She is known for her acting roles and dance performances and has built a substantial audience through her work in regional cinema.
Her participation in Bigg Boss 20 has brought her into the wider reality-television spotlight, with the latest dispute drawing attention beyond the show itself.
The controversy surrounding the alleged Motu and Patlu comparison has renewed discussion about body-shaming on reality television and the responsibility of contestants to keep personal disagreements respectful.
The precise context of the exchange, the responses from Gullu and Mahhi Vij, and any subsequent reaction from the show’s makers should be verified against the relevant episode and original statements before publication.
