The incident occurred during a segment where Ashnoor Kaur described Farrhana as “negative.”
Ashnoor said, “She’s spreading negativity in the house; I honestly don’t know how her journey outside will be.”
Salman responded with a mocking comment about Farrhana’s temperament:
“Jab inki baat shaadi vyah tak jaayegi toh gharwale puchenge ladki kaisi hai? Oh ho gaaliyan bakti hai, jhagde karti hai, plate todti hai, yahi bahu chahiye humko. Bache ki zindagi barbaad kardegi. Isi peace activist ki talaash thi humko aapne bache ke liye.”
