Jad Hadid Controversies Inside The House

Well, after making his entry inside the house, Jad Hadid came into the limelight as earlier, during a task, he kissed Akanksha Puri for 15 seconds. Everyone was so shocked as it was the first time in the history of Bigg Boss that two contestants openly kissed each other. Furthermore, he flashed his butt to another contestant during an argument. Later on, Salman Khan was seen displeased while confronting.

He said Try this in Abu Dhabi, try this in the GCC belt, try this in Saudi Arabia.” To this, Jad Hadid replied, “Sir, it was a mistake. I admit it.” However, Salman continued, “When did you say it was a mistake? Right now?” He continued, “A lot of people may not find anything wrong with what you did. But a lot of people may find it offensive.

India is a very conservative country… It’s also a very forgiving country. We all have been forgiven by the people of this country a million times. And you? They loved you. The way you were, even though they did not understand the language, they loved you… till these two incidents. Leave aside the kiss incident; this is the bummer.”

Akanksha Puri was later asked by the interviewers if she will keep contact with Jad Hadid after the show. She said, “I still want to know what he is exactly. The way he was initially two days is that the Jad or the way the guy keeps sitting and bitching about people is that the Jad or the way he has a closeness with every girl, who is cozy with every girl in the house is that the real Jad.”

From the beginning of the show, we have seen Hadid flirting with the girls and is a charming boy with an amazing body. The evicted contestant, Akanksha said that Jad wanted to marry her and called him a liar.

During a conference, she said, “Somebody who has such strong feelings for you, who is saying, ‘I want to marry you, I want to have someone like you in my life…’ He’s going all out in two days. Just after the host of the show, Salman Khan sir, during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, tells him that ‘This angle is not working, this is looking a little fake. Manisha Rani’s angle is working more’ So, all of a sudden, he flips, and his feelings change. I could see that distance, and I could see him stepping away. So, what are those feelings then? He for me, is spineless, he for me, is a fake, he for me, is a liar.”

Jad Hadid’s Connection With Abdu Rozik

Jad Hadid was asked during an interview if Abdu, who was in Bigg Boss Season 16 gave him some tips before going in the house. Hadid said, “Of course. He is my little brother, and he had some important advice for me. Firstly, he asked me to not get upset and be happy on the show. He asked me to stay cool, positive and always maintain a good smile. I still don’t know what kind of situation I would be put into. While Abdu advised me not to react, I don’t know if I would be able to follow that.”

Looks like both of them share a really special connection. Last but not least, Jad said that he also wanted to become a part of the show after seeing Abdu Rozik’s success.
