Sumbul Apologised to Shalin and Tina following her Father’s Visit, Netizens Labelled her “Dumb.”

The viewers witnessed Sumbul Touqeer Khan and Shalin Bhanot’s lovely friendship develop in the early episodes of Bigg Boss 16. The adorable duo started winning the internet, but sooner than a week’s time, things came crashing down when the viewers and the contestants of Big Boss 16 started perceiving their friendship as a one-sided love relationship. Sumbul, who entered the big boss house like a strong and promising contestant lost her spark right in the first week.

The famous Imlie actress has been seen breaking down on national television multiple times. To make sure that Sumbul has clarity about her performance on the show, ColorsTV and Endemol Shine team brought her father, in the recent “Shukrawar ka Waar” episode, who apparently guided Sumbul on the right path and warned her about the actual manipulative intentions of Shalin Bhanot and Tina Dutta.

Although Sumbul’s father and the host of the show, Salman Khan, tried their best to rescue Sumbul out of the mess, the actions of the actress seem unchangeable. Soon after her father left, Sumbul sorted things out with Shalin and Tina and the trio got reunited. Sumbul was even seen apologizing to Shalin for the humiliation that the actor had to go through on national television. This made the netizens furious and, in a heavy backlash, some viewers called Sumbul Touqeer Khan dumb.

A viewer wrote a tweet questioning Sumbul’s intelligence that read, “If you make a mistake once, you are innocent, but if you make the same mistake again and again and again… you are just dumb! That’s what #SumbulTouqueerKhan is! She is not young, she is just brainless!” While another viewer posted a tweet that read, “When you were one of the most popular contestants of the season , the highest paid, you had done such good work, then what was stopping you from playing alone ….Even when your father made you realise that you were highly diverted..Not expected #SumbulTouqueerKhan to be so Dumb!”

Shalin has been the subject of numerous warning signs in recent weeks, but the actress seems to have chosen to ignore everything going on around her in the controversial big boss house. The recent red flag was given by Gautam Vig, who exposed Shalin for making the “claustrophobic” remark about Sumbul, but the actress, after confronting Shalin, ended up sorting things out with him, which came as another major shock to the supporters of the Imlie actress and triggered the massive backlash against Sumbul from viewers who were earlier supporting the actress.
