New Delhi: After facing massive backlash over obscene and vulgar content in the reality show House Arrest on Ullu App, contestant and actress Gehana Vashisht has stirred fresh controversy with her unapologetic and defiant response to the criticism.

In a video shared on social media, Vashisht shamelessly defended the objectionable content of the show and took aim at critics. 

We are 18, and we’re comfortable: Gehana Vashisht  

She dismissed the outrage as fake morality, calling critics “dhongi” (hypocrites) and accused them of manufacturing controversy to divert attention from “real issues.”

She said, “When Priyanka Chopra does nude scenes in Bollywood or Radhika Apte performs topless scenes, no one says that vulgarity is being spread in society. But when people like us from small towns try to create a show on our own, we're immediately accused of spreading obscenity. Wow — what hypocrisy!”

"If I’m comfortable, all the contestants are comfortable, everyone is above 18, and everything is being done with consent and all the activities in the show are done by us, " she addded. 

Our show is not meant to educate anyone or deliver moral messages. It’s meant purely for entertainment. But you people look for entertainment in educational shows and want education from entertainment shows — how hypocritical is that!

Please don’t twist things unnecessarily. Nothing is more precious than time. Or should I assume that you’re turning a small issue into a big one just to distract people from the real, issues"
