Bigg Boss 8: Nivriti Issar claims derogatory tweet was fake

New Delhi: In an alleged post on the social networking site, Twitter, Nivriti P. Issar had apparently made some very derogatory remarks about Karishma Tanna's late father. The post went viral, even after the said Twitter handle was deleted.

Today, in a statement to a leading daily, Puneet Issar's daughter has said that the tweet was from a fake account. She also added that she had no ill-feelings for any contestant. She is a daughter too and that she can never think of making such offensive remarks about anyone's father. The leading daily quoted her as saying that she is not likely to start now.

Things went berserk after a Tweet was made by an account named 'Nivriti P Issar' on Twitter saying “@BiggBoss @Karishma_tanna - Did her father die a natural death ? or did he Kill himself for having a daughter like her who has no sense??(sic)”. Tanna's fan club circulated the tweet calling it in bad taste, and the post went viral. Many expressed their dissent saying the post was 'insensitive" and "shameful".

Puneet and Karishma started the 'Bigg Boss' journey quite amicably. Unfortunately things went sour quite soon as Puneet was seen calling her names on many occasions.
