This happens, only in India

The hatred between three housemates in Bigg Boss seems to have led to a tiff between their parents, outside. Following an ugly spat between housemates Tina Dutta and Sumbul Touqeer, which saw the former slinging mud on the latter, the parents have now weighed in. The development occurred after 19-year-old Touqeer's father was allowed to speak to her following the incident, and apparently resorted to the use of abusive language while criticising Dutta and Shalin Bhanot. While Shalin Bhanot's father objected to his choice of words, Dutta's mother took to her daughter's Instagram account to share a video, stating, "Who are you to abuse my daughter when your daughter is in the wrong?"

Cosmetic surgery?

While Bollywood folk place emphasis on the need to be comfortable in your own skin, it appears that a fair share of netizens believe the industry is incapable of practicing what it preaches.

Someone compared her to a Kardashian and wrote, "The Khloe Kardashian pout! I hate it!"
