Neha Kakkar and Tony Kakkar slammed comedian Gaurav Gera and Kiku Sharda for mocking the singer based on height and talent. Both singers took their social media accounts to let their fans, as well as the comedians, know that they don’t approve of this ‘comic act’. Tony shared the video on his social media and wrote, ‘This is how you respect a small-town girl who has achieved everything on her own with so much struggle in life. Being a short girl, My sister has already suffered a lot. Do you understand what a person goes through when you make fun of her/his body size or shape?.‘
The singer showed his support for his sister by bashing out at the comedians for making fun of her. He asked them questions like ‘Will you ever stop making fun of what God has made us?’ which also leads to her follow up question that asked the comedians and people involved in the entire scene is by mocking her talent, aren’t you tarnishing her career?‘ He mentioned that people who don’t know much about music but watch them on TV might believe what they’re saying is they are on a renowned TV channel. But Tony clearly mentioned that the fact ‘that is nobody becomes number 1 just by fluke and that too of a country which has a population of 1.3 billion #nehakakkar.”
After the singers expressed their hurt, Gaurav Gera apologized to Neha via his social media account as well as in an interview. He has confessed that he is a fan of Neha and her singing and he would never hurt any artist deliberately.
