On Bigg Boss 15's finale, Shamita Shetty's mother Sunanda Shetty said that she broke down when Shamita was "age-shamed" at the show. She added, "[Shamita has] been through so much in this journey. She was body-shamed. She was age-shamed. It was a very ugly sight to watch." Earlier, Tejasswi appeared to comment on Shamita's age when she called her "aunty".
