Jaan Kumar Sanu
Following uproar over a comment about the Marathi language by contestant Jaan Kumar Sanu on Bigg Boss 14, Colors issued an apology on Wednesday and said they will initiate corrective measures. The Shiv Sena and the MNS demanded an apology and threatened to stop the filming of the reality show at Film City.
On Tuesday's episode, Jaan told housemate Nikki Tamboli to refrain from speaking in Marathi. He also told her that he gets irritated on hearing the language. Jaan Kumar Sanu said, during the episode, "Marathi mei mat baat kar, mere saamne mat baat kar, meko chid hoti hai. Sunaauga teko, mere saamne Marathi mei mat baat kar. Dum hai toh Hindi mei bol warna mat baat kar, chid machti hai meko (don't speak in Marathi in front of me, it irritates me. If you have the guts, speak in Hindi or be quiet).
