Bigg Boss 19: The heated discussions inside Bigg Boss 19 are already getting intense with each passing day. Some of the frivolous causes of housemate clashes include candidates talking about their social standing outside the home and minor food arguments that turn into large ones. There was a major argument between Abhishek Bajaj and Amaal Malik when he started eating on the couch instead of the dining table. The TV personality wasn't in the mood to hear the singer's attempt to persuade him.

Amaal Malik claimed that while sleeping is acceptable, eating is not, so he dozed off on the couch. Abhishek began the verbal dispute because he thought that was unjust. Later, a visibly distressed Abhishek discussed the situation with Zeishan Qadri who spoke to Amaal. The singer defended his behavior saying that he didn't even question Baseer for removing him from the captaincy task and that he (Abhishek) should wear sarees and bangles if people had to constantly ask him why he did something.

Amaal Malik said - "Us din isne mereko eliminate kiya maine isko ek bhi baar pucha ke kyun kia? Baar baar 100 bar puchna hai ke kyun kar rahe ho toh ghar jao, chudi peheno, saree bhi odh lo, bindi bhi laga lo."

Netizens quickly pointed out the underlying misogyny in Amaal's statement, which has been severely criticized.  Many pointed out how he, a well-known person with 'millions' of followers, casually associated things like bindi, chudi, and saree with weakness, perpetuating long-standing prejudices and demeaning womanhood.

A user wrote, "Calling Abhishek 'ladki' and saying wear saree bangles behind his back isn’t just a weak shot at him — it’s a disrespect to women too." Another user said, "Amaal Malik is a filthy mouth guy who talks shit from his mouth..." A third person said, "Chudi pehen ke - This statement irritates the hell outta me, mtlb all these things are signs of weakness."

As a woman, the fact that femininity is still associated with weakness is a shame. Men often use 'woman' as an insult, particularly when another guy doesn't suit their definition of masculinity or strength. It demonstrates how deeply rooted these ideas are, that being feminine is seen as a sign of weakness.
