Actors Jasmin Bhasin and Aly Goni reacted to backlash they have faced for calling each other 'chhapri', a slang often used to describe rowdy young men, on social media. For those unversed, Aly and Jasmin posted throwback photos and trolled each other. However, they were criticised for 'disrespecting' their partners on a public platform.
On Thursday (May 22), Aly re-shared an Instagram post on his story by a paparazzi account. The headline of the post read, "Jasly calls each other chhapri, internet thrashes them for their 'chhapri' game, says 'It's not funny."
Reacting to it, Aly tagged Jasmin and wrote, "It's not funny." He also added several laughing emoticons. The actress too re-shared the post and wrote, "But it was supposed to be funny."
On Tuesday, Aly dropped an old picture of Jasmin, wearing a white crop top with low-waist jeans and flaunting her slender waist. Along with the photo, the Yeh Hai Mohabbatein actor wrote, "Kya Jasmin chapri hai?", accompanied by a laughing emoticon.
He also added the poll feature on the picture, asking fans to reply in Yes or No.
While it seemed to be an inside joke, as Jasmin too shared a similar post for Aly on her Instagram handle, it disappointed the couple's fans. "He is so disrespectful," a comment read, while a netizen called it "second-hand embarrassment". "Absolute red flag," a netizen wrote.
Aly and Jasmin's love story
Jasmin and Aly met in 2018, before heading to Argentina together for Khatron Ke Khiladi 9, and they soon became best friends. While there were rumours of the two dating, they kept denying the claims until 2020, when they confessed their love for each other inside the Bigg Boss 14 house.
The two have been going strong ever since, and they are also set to move in together in June. In fact, reports of the two getting married by the end of this year had surfaced online, but both of them denied it, stating that they would themselves announce it to the world when the time arrives.
Speaking on their decision to move in together, Aly admitted, "It is a big step for me because I have never lived with anyone. I took a lot of time to adapt to this idea, which Jasmin has been suggesting."
