Actress Gauahar Khan has reacted to actor Aasif Khan’s recent remarks on ‘Bigg Boss 20’, where he linked sporting a moustache with being a “real man”, saying that a man’s identity should be reflected in his thinking and behaviour rather than his appearance.
Sharing her views on social media, Gauahar questioned Aasif’s comments and criticised what she described as his “small thinking” and “silly behaviour”.
“Yaar I have a question, Asif ka career toh acting mein bohat accha chal raha hai naa, he shouldn’t have come on the show to showcase such small thinking and really silly behaviour,” she wrote.
Gauahar also referred to a conversation in which she said Aasif appeared to enjoy another contestant’s comments about Uditi. She added that while she considers him a good actor, she felt his remarks reflected narrow thinking.
Reacting specifically to his statement about moustaches, Gauahar wrote, “Mard ki nishaani mooch hoti hai hahahahah islam mein toh musalman mard ke liye sunnah is no moonch, has he forgotten that???? Mard ki nishaani uski unchi soch aur behaviour hoti hai! Wish he knew that!”
Gauahar’s reaction came after Aasif, during a recent conversation inside the ‘Bigg Boss 20’ house, said that he comes from Rajasthan, where moustaches are considered an identity. He further said that people without moustaches are not considered men enough.
His remarks came after Gullu and Aman Gandhi questioned the significance he was attaching to facial hair. Gullu pointed out that several people, including ‘Bigg Boss’ host Salman Khan, do not sport moustaches.
Fellow contestant Mahhi Vij also disagreed with Aasif’s comments, saying that being a “real man” was not about such attributes but about how a person behaves and keeps a family together.
Gauahar has a strong connection with ‘Bigg Boss’, having participated in the seventh season in 2013 and emerged as its winner.
Aasif Khan, meanwhile, is currently participating in ‘Bigg Boss 20’. The ‘Panchayat’ actor has been part of several conversations and controversies inside the reality show since entering the house.
