Entry of ghazal and bhajan legend Anup Jalota and his girlfriend into ‘Bigg Boss Season 12’ let loose the troll brigade on social media.
The 65-year-old Jalota and his 28-year-old girlfriend Jasleen Matharu were welcomed into the show as a “vichitra jodi” or “stand out pair” in a season’s first episode that aired on Sunday. The reaction on Twitter however was not as welcoming.
The pair was the subject of vicious trolling on the micro-blogging site—almost all jokes and memes aimed primarily at their age difference. Some jokes even compared the couple to another celebrity couple that has been the talk of the town lately—actress Priyanka Chopra and her singer-songwriter fiancé Nick Jonas.
Never underestimate a man who sings Bhajans. Or for that matter who’s only 65 years young. 🤣#AnupJalota

All these blokes singing these normal songs and ones which force people to run around trees must be kicking themselves for not singing Bhajans. #AnupJalota

Raaz ki baat : Bigg Boss makers actually wanted Milind soman and her girlfriend to be part of the show this year but they rejected so they got a sasta and ghatia replacement of them in the form of Anup Jalota and his girlfriend. #BB12 #BiggBoss12
