Ex Bigg Bos contestant Sapna Bhavnani, who grabbed everyone’s attention with her vocal and fierce behaviour in the sixth season of the reality TV show has spoken against the host Salman Khan.

The celebrity hairstylist is set to make her debut as a writer with her upcoming book Chapter One.

When asked if she will be writing about the Bollywood star, with whom she shares a troubled equation, she responded saying, “This man really mis-uses people and I don’t have to give him importance… especially in my book,” reported Hindustan Times

Sapna also said that the Sultan star is a male chauvinist after he sparked controversy over his “raped woman” remark.

“It’s insulting to have an Indian man talk like that on an international platform. I am embarrassed to call myself an Indian when statements like these go out worldwide. I was very vocal about it on Twitter, and everywhere. I got a lot of flak for it, but flak or stalkers and trollers should not be the reason why you should stop voicing the truth,” she said.

“It’s (comments on Twitter) insane if you read some of the crap that was written… you’d know. Before I started blocking them, I was reporting them to Twitter, my point is to get them off Twitter, but when twitter was also not taking necessary action, I had to block them, because I couldn’t let them affect my mental health. These guys are hired by the Khan and political parties… these people have zero followers, but every day they come to slam you,” she added.

But this isn’t the first time Sapna has been threatened by Khan’s fans. She revealed that she was warned that speaking against Salman could get her killed following her eviction from Bigg Boss.

“Actually, a lot of people told me. I was warned that you shouldn’t talk about him like that because you could get killed, and I was like, ‘what!’ I had heard rumours, but I have been channelling this ‘no fear’ thing for the past four years and I am not going to let a monkey scare me. I have been through a gang rape, I know what it feels like, I am a surviving member… there is nothing worse you can do to me really,” said Sapna.

Chapter One, to be published by Harper Collins India, will reflect her troubled life and also unveil her harrowing experiences including gang rape.
