If you thought the drama ended when Gaurav Khanna lifted the Bigg Boss 19 trophy earlier this December, think again. The real explosion happened outside the house.
Malti Chahar, the fiery wildcard contestant (and sister of cricket star Deepak Chahar), has just dropped a bombshell that has shaken the industry. Fresh off her Top 6 finish, Malti sat down for a podcast and opened up about the dark side of Bollywood, specifically, a horrifying "casting couch" experience with a man she once trusted.
Here is the full breakdown of what she said, why it’s trending, and the other controversies that followed her out of the BB19 house.
In a raw and emotional interview with host Siddharth Kannan, Malti revealed that being a cricketer's sister didn't protect her from the industry's predators.
She described a chilling incident involving a very senior filmmaker someone old enough to be her father.
Malti described freezing in that moment. "I was stunned. I couldn't believe someone of his age, whom I respected so much, could do something so cheap," she said.
She immediately pushed him away, lashed out at him in anger, and stormed out. She revealed that she cut all ties with him instantly, but the betrayal stung more than the harassment. "It taught me a brutal lesson: Never put anyone on a pedestal in this industry."
That wasn't the only tea she spilt. Malti also shared another incident from her early days. After a narration with a prominent South Indian producer, the director of the film quietly slipped her the producer’s hotel room number.
If you followed Bigg Boss 19, you know Malti’s journey wasn't smooth inside the house either. While the casting couch story is new, her time in the show was filled with its own controversies.
The "Lesbian" Tag During the show, co-contestant Kunickaa Sadanand started a rumour that Malti was a "lesbian" because of her close friendship with fellow contestant Farrhana Bhatt.
Deepak Chahar to the Rescue. The highlight of the season was arguably Family Week. Deepak Chahar entered the house and didn't hold back.
Malti Chahar’s revelation is important because it breaks the myth that "privileged" outsiders are safe. Even with a famous brother like Deepak Chahar and a connection to MS Dhoni (remember, she went viral as the "CSK Girl" first), she still faced harassment.
Her message to young actors was clear:
"The control is in your hands. Yes, men will try to use their power. But if you are strong and say NO, they back off. You might lose a project, but you won't lose your dignity."
What’s Next for Malti? Now that Bigg Boss 19 is over, Malti is back to focusing on her acting career and cheering for CSK, of course. But with these fearless interviews, she’s proving she’s more than just a "cricketer's sister." She’s a voice to be reckoned with.
