Bigg Boss Malayalam 7: Lakshmi sparks outrage with her homophobic comment on lesbian couple Adhila and Noora, Netizens say 'Targeting someone for their identity is violence'

Another controversy has erupted in Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, this time involving contestant Lakshmi, whose recent remarks about lesbian couple Adhila and Noora have ignited widespread outrage and accusations of homophobia.In a recent episode, during a heated argument, Lakshmi made a deeply insensitive comment targeting Adhila and Noora. She claimed that the couple “can’t even live openly in society” and added that they would “not even be let into the houses of other contestants.” The statement, which disparaged their identity and existence, was met with stunned silence from those present in the house, including Adhila, who appeared visibly hurt but refrained from immediate confrontation.Once the episode aired, social media platforms were flooded with posts condemning Lakshmi’s remarks. Many viewers criticized her for promoting harmful stereotypes and prejudice against the LGBTQ+ community.One social media user commented, “Wow, so someone’s ability to live in society now depends on who they love? That’s some next-level logic. @lakshmically this shows your cheap mindset.” Another wrote, “Imagine the serious crimes happening in the world—rape, pedophilia, human trafficking—and criminals roam freely, but some are worried about people simply existing without harming anyone. It’s sad that some use homophobia as their identity and promote hate speech.”The silent reaction of Adhila, often a vocal contestant, also became a topic of discussion online. Fans expressed empathy for her pain and showered love and support.A viewer shared, “My heart aches seeing Adhila’s bruised face and eyes. It’s utterly cruel. Adhila and Noora are hardworking, independent professionals who have never harmed anyone, yet face harsh judgment for their life choices.” Another post stated, “Targeting someone for their identity is not drama, it’s violence. Spread love and humanity.”Many fans have urged the show’s producers to take strict action against Lakshmi for her insensitive and offensive remarks.
