Ayesha appeared visibly uncomfortable, hurriedly moving towards Kapil Sharma while attempting to cover her stomach. Kapil asked Bharti, “Was this a compliment or what?” Parul Gulati also told Bharti, “You shouldn’t have said that,” to which Bharti replied, “Sorry, I’m pregnant.”
The clip quickly went viral online, with many viewers criticising Bharti for her comment. Comments ranged from disappointment to anger, with one saying, “Bharti is rude to most ladies on the show, and body-shaming from someone who became famous mainly due to her own appearance is ironic.”
One other added, “This wasn’t funny and was just disrespectful to women of larger sizes, although Ayesha isn’t even that big.” Other viewers expressed sympathy for Ayesha, stating, “I actually felt bad for her. The comment was inappropriate,” and “Bharti is only a misogynist. Her mindset doesn’t change simply because she’s a working woman.”
Several commenters also noted that the joke made Ayesha look embarrassed and uncomfortable, highlighting the difficulty of body-shaming.
