In a recent episode of Bigg Boss 19, viewers witnessed a fierce altercation between Amal Malik and Abhishek Bajaj. The conflict ignited when Abhishek chose to eat while seated on the sofa, prompting Amal to object, stating that he usually sleeps there. Despite Amal's objections, Abhishek remained firm in his decision to sit, leading to a breakdown in communication as both refused to listen to each other. The situation escalated quickly, resulting in Amal resorting to insults directed at Abhishek.

During the heated exchange, Amal made a pointed remark, saying, 'The day he eliminated me, I asked him why, but he never answered. If I have to keep asking 100 times, then he should just go home, wear bangles, drape a saree, and put on a bindi.'

Amal's comments did not sit well with social media users. Following the episode's airing, numerous fans of Bigg Boss took to their social media accounts to criticize Amal for his misogynistic remarks. One user expressed confusion over why some men demean others by comparing them to women, questioning, 'If someone asks two questions, does that make them a girl? And then you hurl insults as if you are a big man?'

Another user added, 'Calling Abhishek a 'girl' and suggesting he wear a saree and bangles is not only a weak jab at him but also an insult to women. Sarees and bangles are a matter of pride, not a joke.'

This isn't the first time food has been a source of contention in the Bigg Boss 19 house. A prior argument erupted between Abhishek Bajaj and Nehal over food when housemate Basir Ali took food from Abhishek's plate without permission, leading to Abhishek's anger. As he expressed his displeasure, Nehal interjected, accusing him of overeating.
