Jad calls Akanksha a 'bad kisser'

Her words arrive after Jad, during a conversation with Avinash Sachdeva, called Akanksha a ‘bad kisser.’ The two shared a laugh about it. However, Pooja Bhatt told Jad, "I'm sorry but you're a b**ch if you're saying that. Under the belt. What do you think poor girl will do if she is asked to kiss in front of the whole world? I am sorry, I disapprove of it. No no no, not cool.”

Jad responded, “It's an opinion.” Pooja told him that he should share his opinion with Akanksha and not with anyone else in the house. She said, “Boy talk right? I thought you were a man, not a boy." Jad said, “I'm gay.”
