Bigg Boss 7 fame Ajaz Khan received a massive backlash after he stated Big Boss OTT 3 contestant Lovekesh Kataria should change his name to Narayan. This statement didn’t go down well with many online, who demanded an apology from the actor. Now, the actor shared a post on his X handle and clarified that he meant Narad Muni and not Lord Narayana–another name for Lord Vishnu.
On Sunday, the actor took to his X handle and wrote, “Hello everyone, I heartily apologise if I have hurt my Hindu brothers and sisters about my “Narayan” remark, It was not deliberate as I always say you read my Quran and I read your Geeta, which clearly states my respect for Hindu religion and not only that I respect every religion as I respect mine.”
He added, “I meant Narad muni and not lord Narayana in the reference of that statement… I truly apologise if I have hurt anyone. God is one. Jai hind!”
The controversy started after a video of the actor went viral online. In the video, Ajaz, in a media interaction, can be heard taking a dig at Lovekesh Kataria over the Vishal Pandey-Armaan Malik slap row. He said Lovekesh should not have spoken about Vishal’s liking for Kritika Malik in front of Armaan, which led to the slap incident.
He said, “Ghar ka Narad muni hai. Narayan! Narayan! Kataria apna naam badal ke Narayan rakh de. (He is the Narad Muni of the house. He should change his name to Narayan.” Netizens slammed the actor for his comment.
A few days ago, Armaan Malik–one of the contestants on Bigg Boss OTT 3–slapped Vishal after his first wife Payal Malik revealed Vishal’s liking towards Kritika (Armaan’s second wife, who is also part of the show) on the Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
Payal exposed Vishal’s secret conversation with Love Kataria where the former was seen saying he is guilty of liking Kritika. And in another video, checking our Kritia while she was working out and calling Armaan “Bhagyashaali”.
