New Delhi: 'Bigg Boss OTT 2' contestants Akanksha Puri and Jad Hadid’s kiss during a task made them trend on Twitter on Thursday and Friday. Now Akanksha has opened up about the kiss and how it made her feel ‘awkward’.
In the latest episode, Akanksha spoke about their 30-second kiss. She said, “I wanted Jad to understand that as an Indian female artist, the kiss made me feel awkward. I expected him to come and speak with me, to clear out my headspace about the whole situation. Communication is important, and I needed that reassurance."
Jad calls Akanksha a 'bad kisser'
Jad, on the other hand, had reacted to the kiss differently and called Akanksha a ‘bad kisser’. After his kiss, Jad Hadid went to Avinash Sachdev and told him she is a ‘bad kisser’. The two laughed about it. This didn’t go down well with Pooja Bhatt, who told him that he was being too rude. “I'm sorry but you're a b**ch if you're saying that. You seem to enjoy very much. Under the belt. What do you think poor girl will do if she is asked to kiss in front of the whole world? I am sorry, I disapprove of it. No no no, not cool,” Pooja said.
Jad replied, “It's an opinion.” Pooja said that he should share his opinion with Akanksha and not with others. She said, “Boy talk right? I thought you were a man, not a boy." Jad said, “I'm gay.”
His behaviour didn’t just irk Pooja Bhatt; many viewers were also disgusted by his reaction and tweeted about it. A user wrote, “Jad Hadid should be ashamed. He is the most repulsive character on Bigg Boss OTT2. After kissing @akanksha800, he said to Avinash, ‘Bro, Akanskha is a bad kisser,’ and they both laughed and continued to make fun of her in the house.”
Another user commented, “Such a disgusting person is Jad hadid. After kissing akanksha, he is saying ‘Bro, Akanksha is a bad kisser.’ to Avinash and they're laughing. Only Pooja Bhatt took a stand for his comment. Have some shame Jad,” commented a fan of Bigg Boss OTT 2.
The much-talked-about kiss happened during a task where Avinash Sachdev dared them to kiss for 30 seconds, and they accepted the challenge.
