Mumbai : Actress Nikki Tamboli, who is currently seen in the reality show “The 50”, has strongly called out reality TV show star Prince Narula over an alleged body-shaming remark, questioning his conduct as a “so-called husband, father and public figure.”
It was during an episode of The 50, when Prince reportedly commented on Nikki’s appearance. She now has shared the clip on X, formerly called Twitter, and said that mocking someone behind their back isn't power.
She wrote on X: "So-called husband, father, public figure. If someone spoke about your daughter's body like this, would you laugh too? This isn't strategy. This isn't a game. This is body-shaming done quietly - the coward's way.”
Nikki added: “Cameras don't cancel character. Influence doesn't excuse disrespect. Mocking someone behind their back isn't power. If you have something to say, say it to the face. Behind-the-back mocking isn't strength - it's fear pretending to be confidence. And influence without responsibility? That's not leadership. That's failure. That's weakness with an audience”
