Taking to his Instagram stories, Gurmeet wrote, “After yesterday's episode I have seen a few videos indicating that I've told Ashnoor to ‘take advantage’ of the body-shaming remarks made by Tanya. I want to clear these misconceptions right now because it is not true. My words have been taken totally out of context.”

He added, “When Ashnoor asked me about forgiving Tanya, the conversation had nothing to do with body shaming. It was a light, fun moment- most of which wasn't even shown in the episode. Because of the edit, a different meaning is being attached to what I have said, and that's unfair to everyone involved.”

‘I went inside the house only to uplift Ashnoor’

The show is available to watch on JioHotstar at 9 pm and on Colors TV at 10:30 pm.
