After Khatron Ke Khiladi 11’s elimination controversy, the producers and the channel are being scrutinised by the viewers. The show’s fans have accused the makers of body shaming Rahul Vaidya and Shweta Tiwari. That’s right. The channel just dropped a promo a couple of hours ago. In the promo video of Arjun The Wild, the actor talks about two contestants, Shweta Tiwari and Rahul Vaidya. Arjun is heard naming the animal that he believes best represents the behaviour of his fellow competitors.
He refers to Shweta Tiwari as a cunning fox. He claims that every time she fails a stunt, the grapes are usually sour. He then refers to Rahul Vaidya as a hyena. He makes a remark about him, noting that he only looks like a hyena and has no other qualities (of the animal). He then howls Rahul’s name as a wolf. The show’s fans have expressed their displeasure with the manner the channel produced the new promo. Some fans have supported Arjun Bijlani, claiming that he was simply following the script, but have slammed the producers for the promotional stunt.

The video was retweeted by a social media user and Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 fan, who wrote, “There are other ways to entertain people.But if you want to entertain us by someone’s body shaming then we don’t want your entertainment. It’s a shame that @ColorsTV being such a big platform is tarnishing it’s own image by supporting body shaming.” Another user said, “Making fun of somebody’s profession not okay! Making fun of somebody’s body features not okay! Calling all this entertainment not okay! APOLOGIZE TO RAHUL VAIDYA.”
Support also poured in for Arjun Bijlani and fans were seen saying, “Of course #ArjunBijlani is not at fault its ColorsTV script, we have had problem with Rangu since BB14. Req to both #RahulVaidya nd #ArjunBijlani fans plz don’t drag the contestants. They r not at fault here. Arjun is following a script nd Rkv isn’t responsible for few people’s actions. Our fight is against the channel so just stick to that.”
