New Delhi:

Vikas Gupta blasted Dipika Kakar, Sreesanth and some other participants of Bigg Boss 12 for their "homophobic jokes" on new entrant Rohit Suchanti in Monday's episode of the reality show. In one segment of the show, Sreesanth mocked Rohit's 'purple shorts" and also suggested the actor is gay citing his mannerisms. In another part of the house, Karanvir Bohra commented on Rohit's sexual preferences. Vikas Gupta, who faced similar homophobic comments during his stay in Bigg Boss 11, blasted Sreesanth and Karanvir for their uncalled-for remarks and said: "It affected me a lot. It shows that even our country's educated (people) are so narrow minded and idiotic enough to actually consider all these attributes for someone having alternative sexuality."

He was also upset with Dipika, whom he counted as one of his friends, for laughing at Sreesanth's remarks instead of correcting him. "Personally I feel ashamed that none of you had guts to shut Sreesanth up," he wrote. Vikas Gupta also wrote that it is not about Rohit Suchanti but the "portrayal of the LGBT community as something to be made fun of or laughed at is really disgusting... The real problem is using alternative sexuality to be made fun of."

In his statement, Vikas Gupta also called out to the showrunners and said: "Will Bigg Boss team and Colors take a strict action or just say that this will not be tolerated and like always, it will happen again."
