Social media users quickly condemned the act, calling it unhygienic and inappropriate, especially in a shared environment like the Bigg Boss house. One user wrote, “Drink water like Amaal… directly from the hose and don’t even clean it after… spread germs yay! Why can’t he just use a bottle or a glass?” another commented, “Big celebrity but zero class. Spitting everywhere is not swag, it’s unhygienic.”Others added: “Fame doesn’t teach basic hygiene… Spitting like that is a no-go — Amaal, take notes.”, “He’s the same person who once put a used spoon back into the rice pot.
