Bigg Boss 14 contestant Jaan Kumar Sanu's mother Rita Bhattacharya has expressed her disappointment at Rahul Vaidya's 'nepotism' barb towards Jaan. Jaan, veteran playback singer Kumar Sanu's son, was shocked when Rahul targeted him in one of the episodes.
"I hate nepotism. All the contestants are here because of their own hard work, Jaan is here because he is someone’s son. He doesn’t have any personality of his own", Rahul had said. To which Jaan retorted, "I am fortunate to be the son of Kumar Sanu". He added, “Baap pe mat ja (don't bring my father into this).”
Now, speaking to Spotboye, Rita Bhattacharya said,
Rita Bhattacharya also pointed out that Rahul Vaidya has conveniently forgotten that Jaan's singing helped them win a task.
Jaan's mother also said that Kumar Sanu's wasn't very keen on his son joining Bigg Boss 14. "Jaan’s father did not want him to be a part of Bigg Boss, but it was Jaan’s choice as he wanted to prove himself. In spite of knowing how well Jaan can sing, Kumar Sanu didn't make calls to music directors or composers for his son. Because we believe that our children have to carve their own niche. If they are good, people will accept them".
