Bigg Boss 19: Vikas Gupta, Baseer Ali's bond under scrutiny after the 'Lachkila' comment? Fact Check

Reality TV star Baseer Ali is one of the most vocal housemates on Bigg Boss 19. He has done a number of reality shows and is a pro at the genre. Things got bad when makers played to Awez Darbar, the clip where Baseer Ali told Amaal Mallik that the content creator had a tendency to befriend girls by sending them DMs on Instagram. Amaal Mallik also agreed with him. Awez began to cry on the show post which Baseer Ali said sorry to Nagma Mirajkar and him. He said that maybe he was misinformed by someone who knew both of them. People are speculating it model Shubhi Joshi.

Baseer Ali's relationship with Lucinda Nicholas

Also, Baseer Ali has been facing some taunts on his sexuality from some of the housemates. Abhishek Bajaj has called him Lachkila. In the middle of all this, a screenshot is being shared on social media handles. It has a picture of a link where Vikas Gupta admits being in a relationship with Baseer Ali. The two worked together on the show Ace Of Space. Baseer was very volatile on the show, and Vikas Gupta had heated arguments with him. In Ace Of Space, Baseer Ali fell for model Lucinda Nicholas who is originally from Australia.

Mentor and protege bond of Vikas Gupta and Baseer Ali

They broke up soon after leaving Baseer Ali heartbroken. Vikas Gupta stepped in to console the Hyderabad boy saying being single was not so bad after all. The two were seen together at parties and dinner outings. This made people doubt if Vikas Gupta and Baseer Ali were seeing one another. While some info online confirms that Vikas Gupta admitted to them being in a relationship, there is no URL of that report shown in the screenshot. This means that unless Vikas Gupta or Baseer Ali confirm the same, it is just a rumour.

It is also sad that such fake news around his sexuality is used to target Baseer Ali by outside fandoms. That too in a show like Bigg Boss that has given representation to the LGBTQ community since years. Baseer Ali and Vikas Gupta also do not owe anyone any explanation. What is worrisome is unverified digs based on sensitive issues being used in fan wars.
