Adil Durrani, the ex-husband of famous Indian actress and model Rakhi Sawant, stirred controversy with his recent remarks comparing her to the global pandemic of the coronavirus.
In a recent interview with Indian media, Durrani, who recently remarried, made derogatory comments about Sawant, suggesting that she is akin to a virus that the world needs to be cautious about.
Durrani's comments drew sharp criticism, with many expressing outrage over his disrespectful remarks towards Sawant. He went on to express his desire for Sawant to relocate to another country permanently, citing a need for peace in the lives of people in India, particularly in Mumbai.
The controversy comes amid Durrani's recent marriage to Soumi Khan, a contestant from season 12 of the Indian reality show Bigg Boss.
Sawant responded to her ex-husband's marriage by accusing him and Ms Khan of seeking attention and orchestrating a publicity stunt.
This is not the first time Sawant and Durrani's relationship has made headlines. They were previously married in May 2023, but their union was short-lived, marred by allegations of domestic violence and cheating.
The Bollywood drama queen filed an FIR against Durrani, leading to his arrest, and the couple ultimately separated amidst a flurry of legal disputes and public scrutiny.
It's worth noting that Durrani and Sawant's tumultuous relationship first made headlines in May 2023, shortly after their marriage. Sawant filed an FIR against Durrani for alleged domestic violence, later accusing him of infidelity, leading to their separation and Durrani's arrest by the police.
