 "Annu Kapoor faces backlash for his crass comment on Tamannaah Bhatia's body & skin complexion: 'Will you say this to your own...'")
Annu Kapoor, the veteran actor and host of the entertainment industry, has garnered controversy for his comment on Tamannaah Bhatia while praising her “dudhiya badan” and making fun of her claim of children falling asleep after watching her hit track ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ from Stree 2.
In a recent interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Annu Kapoor excitedly spoke about watching a clip of ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ song and said, “Mashallah kya dudhiya badan hai (Oh my god, what milky body she has).”
Post this, the host brought up Bhatia’s claim that children sleep to her song. To which Kapoor replied, “Kitne umar ke baache so jaate hain… 70 saal ke umar ka bhi bachca ho sakta hai na, main hota toh puchta ke kitne umar ke so jaate hain. Angreezi mein bolte hain that he is 70 years old, woh 70 saal purana bacha hai… And he is 11 year old budha (Kids of which age sleep? A 70-year-old can also be a kid. I would have asked this question to her.)”
“Behen, apne gaane se, aapne shareer se, apne dudhiya chehre se humare bacchun ko sulti hain… Bahut achi baat hai.. Desh ke upar kripa hogi agar humare desk ke bacch achi aur swasthya neend soyein. Agar aur bhi kuch ichain hain toh bhagwan unko samarth karre ke unki ichchan puri hun (Our sister is making kids sleep with her song, with her milky face and body, if she is making our children sleep sweetly, it’s very good, man… It will be a great blessing for this country that our children get a good and healthy night’s sleep. If she has any other wishes, may God give her the capability to fulfil her wishes. That’s my blessing for her),” he added.
Annu’s comment received backlash on social media as netizens called him ‘vulgar’ and ‘creepy’. “Please be respectful. Don’t you have a daughter or grandchildren,” wrote one user. “Wth! This man gives tharki vibes (This man gives creepy vibes),” shared another. “Ashleel hai ye (he is vulgar),” commented another netizen. “Apni beti ko bhi aisee hi bologe (Will you say this to your own daughter),” questioned one user.
