Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Akbar Khan's mother clarifies Lakshmi's allegation, says "Both Adhila and Noora are just like my kids"

Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 continues to make headlines not just for its in-house drama but also for the ripple effects it creates outside the show. One such controversy that has sparked widespread debate involves Lakshmi's alleged homophobic remark about fellow contestants Adhila and Noora, who are openly in a same-sex relationship.The issue gained momentum after Lakshmi made a controversial statement during a heated moment in the house, telling Akbar Khan that Adhila and Noora are the kind of people who would not be welcomed into his family. The comment drew criticism for being insensitive and homophobic, and the matter was promptly addressed by host Mohanlal during the weekend episode.During the confrontation, Lakshmi attempted to justify her statement by referring to an earlier phone call between Akbar and his mother, claiming that Akbar's mother had allegedly warned him to stay away from Adhila and Noora. However, Mohanlal clarified that no such statement was heard or shown in the call aired on the show, raising questions about the authenticity of Lakshmi’s claims.Now, to clear the air, Akbar Khan’s mother has released a video statement, firmly denying any such comments were made. In the video, she stated:“I am here to clarify something. I had made a phone call to Akbar when he was being aggressive in the house. During the call, I only told him to avoid forming unnecessary groups and to play his own game. I never said anything against Adhila or Noora. I now understand that my words may have been misinterpreted. Both Adhila and Noora are just like Akbar to me. I hope they come home with him after the show. Love is love. Spread love.”Her heartfelt clarification has been well-received by viewers and has helped dispel much of the misunderstanding around the issue.
