WATCH: Kishwer Merchantt HITS OUT at Anusha Dandekar for making fun of her friend's accent!
Here's what happened!
After posting a video in which she is condescendingly imitating Kishwer Merchantt's friends, VJ Anusha Dandekar and VJ Gaelyn Mendonca are facing severe criticism from Kishwer and her husband Suyyash Rai on Instagram.
Anusha and Gaelyn watched Kishwer's story on Instagram where she and her friends were strolling along Bandstand, Bandra and conversing about food when one of them said , "I love pancakes!"
Finding the accent funny, Anusha and Gaelyn made a video wherein they mocked it and posted it online on Anusha's Insta account. Naturally, when the video was viewed by Kishwer, she was infuriated and took to Instagram to share her views. Her post read:
"VJ Anusha nt everyone is from Australia and nt everyone has tht accent .. but they are my friends and they have a good heart.. unlike u and vj gaelyn who are sitting and making fun of two people on ur insta story u dnt even knw .. #disgusting."
She captioned the post writing, "It's sad when a 35yr old doesn't knw how to behave @vjanusha @vjgaelyn .. grow up !!! And fyi the guy in the video is @rahullsharma and the girl is @gur4neet .. now u knw them !!!"
Highlighting the irony of the situation as Anusha's boyfriend (and Suyyash's close friend) Karan Kundra too has a Punjabi accent, Suyyash supported her as well. He posted:
"People consider u guys their role models / idols ... it doesnt suit u guys @vjanusha @vjgaelyn . Disappointed seriously... U guys r probably trippin on something and enjoying but unfortunately for you they are my frns. U shudnt have put this on ur socail networking websites specially wen there millions of people looking up2 u...and unfortunately they are your FANS :). U guys probably well educated and have probably studied and stayed abroad all ur lives its juss that my frns r tooo desi to have that accent...n unfortunately that guy is from punjab too just like @kkundrra AND je lodh payi metho vadda desi labna v nai...GROW UP."
