It has come to my notice that a popular reality show host has used racist rhetoric against a young contestant from Guwahati. This is shameful and completely unacceptable. Casteism has no place in our country and we all should condemn it categorically.- Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) November 16, 2021
The chief minister took to Twitter and said that “racist rhetoric” against the contestant was unacceptable. Dance Deewane 3 was judged by Madhuri Dixit-Nene and choreographers Tushar Kalia and Dharmesh Yelande. Remo D’Souza participated in the said episode as a special guest. Raghav shared a video on Instagram in an attempt to “clarify the misunderstanding”. In a video posted on his social media page, Raghav talks about how people have judged the incident on the basis of a small part and accused him without knowing the context. He says being called “racist” is affecting his mental health.
Now Gunjan Sinha’s father has also issued an official statement regarding the controversy. He said, “I can shed light on this because I was a part of the show. She learned to speak Chinese by watching YouTube. When she was asked about her talent in the TV show, she said that she can speak Chinese. They told her to speak Chinese. Asked to speak. That’s why it is mentioned in the script. Not because he is from Assam. People are giving wrong feedback on social media. If those lines were anything to go by, I would have taken a stand, because we are all Assam She is from. Originally, it was scripted because she could speak Chinese.”
