Former Bigg Boss 19 contestant Malti Chahar has issued a heartfelt public appeal, requesting people to stop involving her parents in public discussions. This comes after clips from a past interview, where she spoke candidly about her childhood and her parents' strained relationship, went viral across social media platforms.
An Emotional Plea on Social Media
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the actress and model expressed deep disappointment over how her honest revelations were being twisted to create sensational headlines. Malti, who gained wide recognition for her outspoken personality on the popular reality show, directly addressed interviewers and the audience.
She wrote a poignant note asking them to shift the focus solely onto her professional journey instead of repeatedly revisiting sensitive family matters. "I don't understand why my parents are being dragged into every podcast and interview," Malti stated in her post.
She further explained, "And when I answer honestly and respectfully, my words get molded into attention-seeking headlines. Why? Please stick to me only. They have already had their own set of struggles..please don't cause them any more pain." Her brother, renowned Indian cricketer Deepak Chahar, swiftly showed his support by replying to her tweet with a simple yet firm "Exactly why?" aligning himself with her sentiment.
Recap of the Viral Interview Revelations
The controversy stems from an earlier interview Malti gave to Siddharth Kannan. In that conversation, she spoke openly about growing up in a home filled with tension. She revealed that her parents fought constantly and that, as the elder sibling, she had to witness most of it while her brother was often away due to his cricket commitments.
Malti shared personal details about her restricted upbringing, including being forced to keep short hair until the 11th grade and having very little freedom, which she said affected her deeply. The most significant revelation was that her parents have been living separately for the past 13 years due to compatibility issues.
These statements ignited a widespread debate online, eventually compelling Malti to clarify that her intention was never to hurt or publicly expose her family but to share her own experiences.
Malti Chahar's Rise to Fame and Career
Malti Chahar entered the Bigg Boss 19 house as a wildcard contestant and quickly became a central figure due to her confident and direct demeanor. She managed to stay in the competition until the finale week, with her fiery confrontations with co-contestants like Farrhana Bhatt and Tanya Mittal becoming some of the most memorable moments of the season.
Beyond her reality TV fame, Malti is actively building her career as a multi-faceted professional in the entertainment industry, working as an actress, model, and director. Her appeal highlights the ongoing challenge public figures face in balancing personal transparency with protecting their family's privacy in the digital age.
