Manish Goel's Son Aryaveer Defends Him After Qazi Touqeer's Serious Allegation

Manish Goel, who is emerging as one of the strongest contestants in Bigg Boss 20, recently found himself at the center of controversy. During a fun role-play activity in the house, Qazi Touqeer later claimed that Manish touched him in a way that made him uncomfortable.

The incident happened after Qazi dressed up in a female contestant's lehenga and acted as a woman during the skit. After the task, he told Manish that he felt uncomfortable when the actor touched his chest and held him awkwardly. The accusation left Manish emotional, and in one of the show's promos, he was seen breaking down over the serious allegations.

Reacting to the promo, Manish Goel's son, Aryaveer Goel, shared a series of posts on Instagram Stories defending his father. He strongly criticized those supporting Qazi and wrote that he was not afraid of online backlash. Aryaveer said the negativity and blind support from some fans were shocking.

‘It Was All Fun Until The Accusation'

Aryaveer stated that he had always supported the friendship and fun moments shared by his father and Qazi inside the house.

According to him, Qazi was the one who first approached Manish, made unusual gestures, and encouraged the interaction. He claimed both contestants were joking around, but things changed when Qazi made an accusation of inappropriate touching.

Aryaveer questioned how such a serious allegation could be treated as part of a prank and stressed that people should understand the impact such claims can have on a person's reputation.

‘One Person's Story Is Not The Truth'

The star kid further said that the contestants inside the Bigg Boss house knew what actually happened and were aware that Qazi may have taken the joke too far. He urged viewers not to blindly believe one version of events and instead use their own judgment before forming an opinion.

Aryaveer Says Manish Is Being Unfairly Judged

Responding to criticism that his father was playing the “family card,” Aryaveer said that many viewers have become used to fake emotions and dramatic behavior on reality shows.

He added that people may disagree with Manish's game or strategy, but they should not question his character without knowing the full truth.

Aryaveer Stands By His Earlier Statement

After the episode aired on JioHotstar, Aryaveer shared another Instagram Story saying that watching the episode only strengthened his belief that his father was not at fault. He maintained that many viewers would agree with his opinion after seeing the complete episode.

‘Qazi Crossed A Line'

In another post, Aryaveer said Qazi had crossed the line with his behavior and described the situation as immature. He also requested people criticizing Manish to imagine how it feels for a family to see a loved one accused of something they believe he never did.

Aryaveer expressed concern over social media users calling his father names and making serious judgments based on what he described as a joke.
