Bigg Boss 15: Fans support Shamita Shetty as Karan Kundrra calls her ‘aunty’, ask ‘what will he call Salman Khan?’

Bigg Boss 15: Viewers were irked after Karan Kundrra wrongly accused Shamita Shetty of calling the junglevaasis ‘classless’ and referred to her as ‘aunty’.

During the recent massive clash between Bigg Boss 15 contestants, Nishant Bhat called the junglevaasis (contestants staying in the jungle area of the house) ‘classless’, which irked Karan Kundrra. However, he attributed the comment to Shamita Shetty and called her ‘aunty’.

Karan Kundrra took umbrage at being called ‘classless’.

In a video from Tuesday night’s Bigg Boss 15 episode, Nishant was heard calling the junglevaasis ‘classless’, while Shamita said, “You all are playing like hooligans.” Karan objected to it and started shouting, “Woh Shamita kya kar rahi thi? Aur woh hume classless bol rahi hai (What was Shamita doing? And she is calling us classless)?”

Later, while talking to Nishant and Jay Bhanushali, Karan said, “Hum apne dum pe khade hai aur woh aunty ko bhi samjha dena ki bhai, class-vlass ki baat mat karna aage se (We are here on our own merit. Tell that aunty not to bring up class).” Karan will turn 37 next week, while Shamita is 42.

Fans came out in support of Shamita. “A GROWN man of 37 years called #ShamitaShetty who is 5 years older than him as aunty. He hurled abuses at her and age shamed her even after he had cooled down. Irony of the matter is that she didn’t even say the word classless. SHAME ON YOU #KaranKundra,” one wrote on Twitter.

Fans criticised Karan Kundrra.

Many came out in support of Shamita Shetty.

Viewers pointed out that it was Nishant Bhat who used the term ‘classless’, not Shamita Shetty.

Former Bigg Boss contestant Kashmera Shah shared a clip from Karan’s conversation, where he said that they would not tolerate it if Pratik Sehajpal’s strategy is to ‘poke’ other contestants and try to show machismo.

“Though I like his advice #karankundra I wish he had not called ShamitaShetty aunty. What’s this age bashing happening all over again? ‘Aunty’ is much younger than many in spirit and fire and rationality and may actually lift the #bb15 trophy this year. @ColorsTV @ShamitaShetty,” she wrote.
