Bigg Boss 20 contestant Manish Goel continues to receive support from his friends and industry colleagues following his ugly argument with co-contestant Qazi Touqeer. After Manish’s son Aryaveer Goel strongly defended his father on social media, actress Bhumika Gurung has now come out in his support.
Bhumika, who rose to fame with the television show Nimki Mukhiya, took to her Instagram stories to share a special message for Manish. She praised his personality and called him a true gentleman who respects women.
Sharing her reaction to the ongoing controversy, Bhumika wrote, “Qazi ji fav SE not so fav bante jaa rahe hai. Sorry to say but this one is specially for Manish Goel. He’s a true gentleman and a man who knows how to respect women better than anyone in that house. More power to you Manish ji. Ignore the noise.”
Interestingly, Bhumika and Manish share a professional connection. The two actors worked together in Nimki Vidhayak, the sequel series to Nimki Mukhiya. Their association seems to have given Bhumika a closer understanding of Manish’s personality, and she has now openly expressed her faith in him.
What Happened Between Manish Goel and Qazi Touqeer?
The controversy started when Qazi wore a co-contestant’s lehenga and entertained the housemates by acting like a woman. Manish joined the fun, but Qazi later accused him of inappropriate touching. Qazi eventually clarified that he had started the incident as a prank and even said he would stretch it further.
However, the matter escalated during nominations when Qazi brought up the incident again and remarked, “Samajh mein aata hai aurat ke saath kya kya hota hai.” His comment left Manish emotional, and he broke down in tears. Several housemates also stood up for Manish.
Following the promo, Manish’s son Aryaveer strongly criticised Qazi’s actions and defended his father’s character. Now, Bhumika’s public support has added another voice to the ongoing controversy.
It remains to be seen how Manish and Qazi’s equation unfolds in the upcoming episodes of Bigg Boss 20.
