I haven't watched this video since it wasn't aired on TV, nor going to air I believe.

But if they have made fun of Autism, they are either ignorant (which I strongly believe they are from what I have seen of them so far) or plain stupid and insensitive- again I fully subscribe to these assumptions as well.

This is merely a reality show which features celebrities known to be airheads. So, we can't really expect them to make responsible public statements. The bigger problem is the goof ups our politicians and their ilk end up making in places like Parliament debates and political rallies where the world literally watches them representing the Indian people.

I condemn all such thoughtless misrepresentations strongly.

Hats off to you and lots of love and luck to your child.

Thank u sweetheart!

My child is indeed special. She gets lots of love from so many ppl...and lots of prayer too.

And where there is a will, there is a way.

She has already surprised the docs here by doing what they said she will never be able to...so am quite optimistic abt her.

Thanks once again for ur wishes.

I think this video might receive more views if someone posts it on YT.

Title is up to the person who uploads it, but include a petition or @bigboss #unfairSalman for tweets. Tag all high profile twitter celebrities. Their followers might catch the tweets

I rarely check out videos on BB website if someone hadn't posted it on the forum I would have never known. This needs to be addressed on the show.

on another note , i dont think u shud be taking anything tht comes out of snobs like Armaan's and Tanisha's mouth seriously ... plz dont let those morons affect u ...

Thank u!

And oh yeah...that I get it...those 2 never make sense anyways.

It is only the outlook of ppl towards special needs individuals that bothers me.

I've had an Indian doctor here in the US advise me saying that if she stops breathing, do not try to resuscitate her...let her pass..what is the use of her living? That's a pediatrican speaking!

So these guys are nothing.

IF and BB are my escape routes...this is the time when I forget about all my worries...but not today.

But this has become a part and parcel of our lives now. One moment we laugh, the next moment tears roll down our cheeks. So nothing new

Does calling each other "Autistic or spastic" mean making fun of those kids who are suffered frm autism nd spastism? Really? Never heard it but got to know it today from sensible india-forumers. It would hv been more hateful or disgusting or insulting if either of them had made fun of some mentally disabled guy .words that they used were for each other not any particular autistic or spastic guy, so please dont take it seriously. If u really think to protest against TanMAN then fst starts it off with that Pandit who called Kushal- Moorkh buddhi which is very equivalent to spastic( if i aint wrong).

Amen to that!

I'm a working woman who is now on extended leave to take care of my child. The anguish, the suffering that we undergo on a daily...not daily, hourly basis is just unexplainable and no one, other than those who go through can understand. My distant family too cannot understand what it is that is happening in our lives right now. Only my very close ones, my parents, siblings, who've seen what we have to go through everyday can understand this. We go through such a roller-coaster of emotions every day, every hour...cannot even begin to tell anyone about that.

Our happiness lies in the very small things that our child can do or say and we are proud of that.

And then to see these folks to use these terms so loosely in a playful manner is so depressing.

I sincerely hope that someone talks to them about how they need to watch what they say, especially when it involves sensitive issues such as this.

I've felt different emotions after watching BB, and this one brought tears.

Thanks to everyone of you here who understand this issue and are doing your own small part in bringing awareness.

God bless you and your child. I'm sure the child is fortunate to have parents like you.

I can imagine the state of those unfortunate ones whose loved ones discard them like a piece of dirt 😭

It's not nice to comment on such issues at all. I wonder where their thoughts come from and what attitude is this😡 Tanisha was my fav but I'm disgusted after reading this.

it needs to be shown in the weekend ka pitaara segment - so tht it gets more coverage, and also specially comes into the notice of Salman Khan..
