When Anushka Shetty was called 'hot jalebi' by comedian Ali; his controversial remarks took Internet by storm
In 2015, Anushka Shetty had to face sexist comments by popular comedian Ali. He called her hot jalebi and spoke about her thighs.
Anushka Shetty is one of the most popular and bankable actresses in the Telugu film industry. She made her debut in 2005 with Nagarjuna's Super and has been ruling the hearts of audiences with her impeccable performances. The actress maintains a very lowkey life, away from parties, social media, and controversies. However, in 2015, she had to face sexist comments by popular comedian Ali.
Comedian Ali's sexist remarks on Anushka Shetty received major backlash
During the audio launch of Anushka and Arya's Size Zero, Ali made a few sexist comments about Anushka Shetty. He called the actress 'hot jalebi' that everyone wants to eat. He also spoke about her thighs on the public platform. The comedian compared her thighs with Bollywood and South actress Sonal Chauhan.
Ali quoted saying, "You had asked the other girl (Sonal Chauhan) to slap her thighs. However, she has no thighs. Anushka has really remarkable thighs. Ever since I saw her in Billa, I became her fan."
These sexist comments made by Ali on a platform on a lighter note didn't go well among her fans and other social media users. Several people slammed Ali for making sexist remarks on the actress and reportedly that was not the first time for him. Earlier in 2014, he also made comments on Samantha Ruth Prabhu's midriff during the audio release of S/o Sathyamurthy.
