Bigg Boss 12: Jasleen Matharu’s Father on Her Relationship With Anup Jalota, ‘I Will Not Give My Blessings to Them’

Bigg Boss 12 contestants, Jasleen Matharu and Anup Jalota's relationship has already caused a lot of outrage and shock. Not only fans but it was quite a shocking news to Jasleen's parents, too. Her parents were clueless about their relationship and are way too embarrassed about it. Jasleen's father spoke to India Today and said that he will wait till he has a word with Jasleen about it. He also added that if what they have revealed is true, he will maintain a distance from both, Jasleen and Anup. He said, "I had no clue about this. I was told they were entering as guru-shishya jodi. She never told me about this. When they made the announcement, my entire family couldn't believe their eyes. We all got very angry. Within ten minutes, I started getting calls from friends. My wife (who was watching the show) got up and went inside. It was very unexpected."

He also added that it was him who introduced Jasleen to Anup but only so he could help her improve her music skills. When asked if he would ever approve of this relationship, he said, "No. Never. It's not possible. If she asks me, I will never give my approval to this relationship. I will not give my blessings to them, and I would rather keep my distance from this. But I will definitely ask my daughter why she did it. If she admits to her relationship with him, I will maintain my distance from them." Bigg Boss 12: Shilpa Shinde on Anup Jalota – Jasleen Matharu’s Relationship: People Should Keep Professional and Personal Different

On being asked how his family and relatives have been taking the news, he said, "They are saying you should not let your daughter enter the house. Someone was saying--had she been my daughter, I would have killed her. I don't believe in such drastic steps. We don't have any right to take our kids' life, but if she has made a mistake, she will have to face the repercussions. I can't do anything about it." Wow! That is quite an extreme reaction but we are looking forward to seeing how Jasleen and Anup handle or portray their relationship to everyone, including her family. What are your thoughts on this?
