BBOTT’s Karan Johar accuses Raqesh Bapat being sexist!
On every #SundaykaVaar, we always witness different shades of #KaranJohar. From being extremely straightforward to humorous and engaging with housemates and entertaining the audience; he does it all. This week’s Sunday ka Vaar episode was no different. From Moose Jattana getting eliminated to Divya Agarwal meeting her real-life love connection Varun Sood, this Sunday ka Vaar was an emotional roller coaster ride for the contestants. The audience also witnessed singers Neha Kakkar and Tony Kakkar as well as Ex-Bigg Boss contestants Rashami Desai and Devoleena Bhattacharjee join in as special guests this weekend. But what caught everyone’s attention was when KJo pointed out the comment by Raqesh for women during the ticket to finale task.
When Karan entered the stage, he questioned Raqesh on his game plan and later scolded him for passing anti-feminist comments on female- housemates and called him sexist. During the Ticket to Finale task, Raqesh said that ‘men are stronger than women’ and Karan took a stand for all the women in the BB OTT house and said, “We are living in a woke world where you don’t say things like this”. He further added, “Let me tell you, my dear, if push comes to shove and I hope it never does, Shamita can kick your ass, Neha can kick your ass and Divya can kick everybody’s ass”. Raqesh didn’t agree and tried to defend himself by clarifying that, “I do reflect on it and my intention was not that, honestly. I live in a house full of women, I know what it is, what strength is and where it comes from”.
Later Karan asked Moose and she said that she had told Raqesh that ‘strength doesn’t come from gender’. However, Shamita was seen defending Raqesh that his intentions were not to demean any women. During the episode, Karan also said that he doesn’t want to avoid this remark as it would make him a part of the cancel culture which he’s not. He further shared that he finds it offensive even when he is told that he is not man enough. We couldn’t agree more with Karan and are so proud of him for taking the stand. Questioning or labeling women weak is not the right thing to do, and this time Raqesh created trouble for himself by making such a foolish statement.
