Controversy
Namish Taneja, trolled by Sidharth Shukla’s fans
In 2019, Namish Taneja visited the Bigg Boss 13 house to celebrate the New Year with the contestants. He was seen socializing with the inmates, but received severe backlash from Sidharth Shukla’s fans for referring to him as a ‘dog’. In an interview, he talked about the fun time he had spent with Shukla inside the house. He said,
See, I am not anti Sidharth then why will I call him Kutta. In fact, I will never use such words for anyone. Me and Sidharth spent really good time inside. The way we met and did masti, I didn’t even feel that we are meeting for the first time. Unfortunately, it’s just a one hour show, so everything doesn’t get telecast.” [2]SpotboyE
