As part of a Diwali bonanza, Bigg Boss 11 welcomed two wild card contestants Dhinchak Pooja and Priyank Sharma. And with the Selfie singer making an entry, it certainly stole much of the limelight from Sharma, who had been previously ousted from the show for pushing a fellow contestant in the house. But it was not a cake walk for the Youtube sensation. From host Salman Khan to fellow participants, everyone took a jibe at the 23-year-old singer-songwriter.
While Khan sang her song, ‘Selfie Main Ne Le Li Aaj’ as he introduced her, pulling her leg and cracking jokes about her style, Pooja wasn’t even welcomed warmly after she entered the house. Tweeple were not happy with the response she received and were particularly irked the way Hina Khan and Shilpa Shinde roasted her, “making fun of her singing.” While some thought they were “jealous,” others alleged they were “fake” and “doesn’t have manners.”
Twitterverse was flooded with messages slamming the two favourite bahus of Indian television, and extended their support for Dhinchak Pooja. Many said that they didn’t like her songs either, but it’s not a reason to insult or ridicule her.
Sample these:
shame on @eyehinakhan at least you should welcome #DhinchakPooja , kya hua agar wo celebrity nahi hai, but @BiggBoss house is not only for celebrities.

#DhinchakPooja is an example that if you keep doing what you do, you will reach the peak of it. #BB11

The way TV celebs are reacting for #DhinchakPooja is too much.
Indian Saas-Bahu serials are also a torture to watch.#BiggBoss11#BB11— Meera (@Meera2609) October 22, 2017
Shilpa-Hina’s reaction to #DhinchakPooja proved what kind of bitter personalities they are. Always on high horse. #BB11

Hina thought she was making fun of #DhinchakPooja but she doesn’t have the brain to realise that she made fun of herself #BB11 #BB11Diwali

Hina took 10 years to became famous
And #DhinchakPooja Took only 2 years
Hina your jealousy is justified.#BB11

However, a few users defended their favourite stars.
Guys I accept the fact that shilpa and hina should have talked to #Dhinchakpooja But kahi na kahi I can’t blame them because both of them have worked very hard in creating their iconic characters whereas Pooja has only been known for her bad songs. #BB11 #BiggBoss11 @eyehinakhan

Why are you criticising the #Hina & #Shilpa? I bet you would have also given the same reaction on seeing #DhinchakPooja in YOUR house!#BB11
