SHOCKING: Kumar Sanu Blames Ex-Wife Rita For Jaan’s Upbringing Over Marathi Language Controversy In Bigg Boss 14

In a recent episode of Bigg Boss 14 we saw Jaan Kumar Sanu telling his co-contestant Nikki Tamboli to not speak in Marathi with him. In a heated exchange of words, Jaan had told Nikki, "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." After which Shiv Sena and MNS threatened Jaan and Colors TV for dire consequences if they don't render an immediate apology. And the very same day Colors TV official page issued an apology statement to them and later in the episode we saw Jaan apologising to them for hurting their sentiments. 

Also, Jaan's father and Bollywood legendary singer Kumar Sanu took to his twitter to share a video saying sorry to the state of Maharashtra and mentioned that his son has done a mistake by commenting on the Marathi language. But what shocked us was that while defending Jaan's actions, he went on to blame his ex-wife for Jaan’s ‘upbringing’. He went on saying he has been separated from Jaan and his mother for the last 27 years and it is due to how his ex-wife has brought up their son that he can’t think before making such remarks on a show.

Talking to us exclusively on the controversy which took place Jaan's mother Rita Bhattachraya had mentioned, "I really want to request people to keep it like a game and not drag it outside. In yesterday's episode, when Rahul, Nikki and Jaan were together in the red zone that time Rahul and Nikki were communicating something in Marathi which my son didn't understand, so in return he told Nikki 'Aap Marathi mein baat mat karo' kyunki use laga they are talking something against him. I just want them to see the situation and then come to a conclusion. How can we insult Maharashtra or Marathi language? We have been staying in Maharashtra for 35 years. This state has given Jaan's father Kumar Sanu so much love and respect. My family and I are really disturbed because of such things. It's a cosmopolitan game which gets telecasted internationally, so if they won't speak in Hindi, there are chances many people will not understand. And that's why makers keep telling them to speak only in Hindi. I don't understand why this big issue is being created out of it. Recently, my son was accused by Rahul Vaidya for nepotism on national television. At that time no one questioned about that or showed any kind of support to my kid. All the efforts and achievements were taken away from Jaan with one sentence".
