Jaan Kumar Sanu Gets Scolded for ‘Anti-Marathi’ Remark on Bigg Boss 14, Apologises to Viewers

On Wednesday’s episode of Bigg Boss 14, Jaan Kumar Sanu was scolded by Bigg Boss over his “anti-Marathi” remark on the show. Following this, the singer apologised to viewers for hurting the sentiments of the Marathi-speaking audience.

In a recent episode of the show, Jaan asked his fellow contestant actor Nikki Tamboli to not speak in Marathi as it “irks” him. The singer further said Tamboli should talk to him in Hindi. His comments didn’t go down well with a section of social media users who called Jaan’s remarks “insulting” and “anti-Marathi.” In a brief statement posted on Twitter, TV channel Colors, which telecasts the reality show, also apologised for the singer’s statement.
