Akanksha on kissing Jad Hadid

In the latest episode of Bigg Boss OTT 2, Akanksha talked about her unexpected kiss with Jad Hadid. Sharing her discomfort, she said, “I wanted Jad to understand that as an Indian female artist, the kiss made me feel awkward.” She added, “I expected him to come and speak with me, to clear out my headspace about the whole situation. Communication is important, and I needed that reassurance.”

Jad calls Akanksha a ‘bad kisser’

Her words arrive after Jad, during a conversation with Avinash Sachdeva, called Akanksha a ‘bad kisser.’ The two shared a laugh about it. However, Pooja Bhatt told Jad, “I’m sorry but you’re a b**ch if you’re saying that. Under the belt. What do you think poor girl will do if she is asked to kiss in front of the whole world? I am sorry, I disapprove of it. No no no, not cool.”

Jad responded, “It’s an opinion.” Pooja told him that he should share his opinion with Akanksha and not with anyone else in the house. She said, “Boy talk right? I thought you were a man, not a boy.” Jad said, “I’m gay.”

Jad and Akanksha were trending on Twitter on Thursday after they were seen kissing on live camera. While some viewers expressed their displeasure with their action, others wondered how host Salman Khan will react to the whole thing on Weekend Ka Vaar, considering his strict attitude towards keeping things ‘clean’ on the OTT platform.
