While Twitter still can’t get over this shocker and the Jasleen Matharu and Anup Jalota has been subjected to relentless trolling, Jasleen’s father has jumped to his daughter’s defence.
In a report in News18, he concedes that his family too was shocked when they came to know of the romance but adds that his daughter has done nothing wrong.
The report quoted Kesar Matharu as saying: “This news was a shocker for me as well as for my family. However, I don’t want to comment anything on her personal life till I meet her. She is on the Bigg Boss 12 house and want her to stay positive and emerge as the winner of the show. There are many other contestants who have controversial past, my daughter has not done anything wrong. I wish her all the best for the show and be an inspiration for the society.”
Commenting on how the duo was heavily trolled, Kesar said he is not the least disturbed by it. He added that Jasleen was a trained singer and that she has done several stage shows with many leading singers. Thiers was a reputed family and they were no need for cheap publicity, he further added.
Jasleen herself is unfazed with all the noise around her. In an interview to Times Of India, she had said that her affair with Anup is not new as they have been dating for more than three years now but accepted that the news would shock her family and friends.
“This is going to come as a huge shock to my parents and friends as no one is aware of my relationship with Anup Jalota ji.
We have been dating each other for the last three and a half years. We usually don’t get time to spend with each other in the outside world due to our busy schedules, but now with the help of Bigg Boss, we will get to do so. Also, we will get to know if we can stay together forever.”
The duo was part of a ‘vichitra jodi’ feature in this year’s Bigg Boss 12.
