Indian Singer and Big Boss 14 Contestant Jaan Kumar Sanu has courted his first onscreen controversy for his remarks on the Marathi Language. In the previous episode, Jaan Shan had locked horns with Nikki Tamboli and was irked by her speaking in Marathi, so he asked her to speak in Hindi instead. Jaan was heard saying,” Marathi mein mat Baat Kar, mere saamne mat Baat Kar, Mujhe ko chid Hoti hai. Sunaauga Tujhe, mere samne Marathi main baat Kar. Dum hai toh Hindi me bol Warna mat Baat Kar, chid machti hai Mujhe”

Reacting to the comment made by Jaan Shanu, Pratap Sarnaik of Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Leader (MNS) leader Amey Khopkar had threatened against the Colors Channel with dire consequences if Jaan doesn’t Apologise.
