Divya Agarwal slammed Shehbaz Badesha for claiming Sidharth Shukla’s fans would vote for him.
Shehnaaz Gill’s brother, Shehbaz Badesha, has been in the headlines for his bold statement claiming that he has the backing of Sidharth Shukla’s fans, who he believes will vote for him if he faces nominations. Now, with Shehbaz already receiving hate on social media, Divya Agarwal has also targeted him for his statement and said, “Play on your own merit.”
Speaking in an interview with FilmyGyan, Divya said, “Sidharth ke fans, Sidharth ke fans hi hain. They are not in favour of anyone or liable to support someone just because you are related to them or have a tattoo of them on yourself. It’s very wrong. Aap kisike naam par andar aaye ho, aur ab jab aap andar aaye hi gaye ho, toh now make your own fans aur tum apne balbute par khelo. (Sidharth’s fans are just that, Sidharth’s fans. They aren’t obligated to support anyone just because you’re related to them or have their tattoo on you. That’s very wrong. You entered the show using someone else’s name, and now that you’re here, make your own fans and play on your own merit.)”
Shehbaz Badesha’s Bold Comment
Earlier this week, while discussing Sidharth’s massive fan base, Shehbaz stated that the late actor’s followers would back him throughout the show, leaving him without any worry about eviction. Shehbaz said, “Baithe hain phir Sidharth Shukla ke fans mere saath. Jo ye show ka winner hai na, uske fans baithe hain mere saath.”
This comment irritated Sidharth’s devoted fans, who quickly took to social media to mock Shehbaz for mentioning the late actor in such a context. The remark prompted an online controversy, with supporters expressing their unhappiness with the disrespectful statement.
Shehnaaz Reacted to Shehbaz’s Comments
The actress was spotted on the Bigg Boss 19 set on Friday. During her appearance, she had a chat with Telly Talk India, where she was asked about her brother Shehbaz’s recent statement. Shehnaaz laughed and asked the media in return, “What do you think?” While the reporters noted that Shehbaz should ask for votes based on his own personality, the actress responded, “We have spoken to Salman Khan sir about this on the show. You’ll get to see it in the episode.”
