This weekend's episode of Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 has been making news. In this episode, the show's host and South superstar Mohanlal took a tough stand on homophobia (discrimination against homosexuality). Actually, contestant Lakshmi commented on gay couple Adhila and Noora living inside the house. She said that people will not give place to such couples in their homes. Mohanlal got angry at this and directly interrupted Lakshmi and said that such discriminatory views will not be tolerated in the show. He asked, I will welcome them to my home. You need to be careful with such comments when you're here. What right do you have to say who is allowed in houses? If you can't stand them, leave the house, get off the show."
Mohalal rebukes Lakshmi's statement in latest Bigg Boss episode
When Lakshmi insisted on her opinion, Mohlal replied more strictly. He said that if Adhila and Noora want, he is ready to call them to his house. Mohanlal also said that no one has the right to decide who should get a place in society and who should not. He clearly said that such statements are not only wrong, but also work to spread hatred in the society. Such thinking will not be tolerated on a platform like Bigg Boss. After this incident, Mohlal got support from the audience and many former contestants and people are praising him.
