‘Bigg Boss 14’: Colors issues apology after MNS & Shiv Sena raise objection to Jaan Kumar Sanu’s comment on Marathi

‘Bigg Boss 14’ is one of the most-watched shows on Television. On Tuesday’s episode, Jaan Kuma Sanu had a spat with Nikki Tamboli for speaking with Rahul Vaidya in Marathi. Jaan goes on to say that it irks him when they talk in Marathi.

Following Jaan’s comment on Marathi language, Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) have raised objection over his comments. They demanded an apology from Jaan and the channel and have also threatened to stop the shooting of the show if they failed to apologise within 24 hours.

According to a Hindustan Times report, MNS film workers’ union chief Ameya Khopkar said, “We will not allow the shooting of Bigg Boss to take place if both of them don’t apologise within 24 hours. We will see how Jaan gets work in Mumbai. Anyone who hates the Marathi language should get out of Maharashtra.”

Shiv Sena leaders Aadesh Bandekar and Yuva Sena leader Rahul Kanal took to Twitter to express their displeasure over Jaan’s comment.

Kamal Sanu should be thrown out of @BiggBoss immediately and such humans should not be a part of any public forum at all @ColorsTV timely apology or you want this controversy for your TRP better render an apology and throw that retard out of the show !!!
