Mohanlal Takes Stand Against Homophobia on ‘Bigg Boss Malayalam 7’

Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 contestant Lakshmi has been stirring a lot of controversy ever since she entered the show as a wild card entrant, especially due to her derogatory remarks about fellow housemates and same sex couple Adhila and Noora. Lakhsmi claimed on BB Malayalam 7 that Adhila and Noora would not be welcomed into other people's homes while questioning their right to be on the reality show.

An angry Mohanlal calls out Lakhsmi and says, "Who are the people unworthy of being welcomed into homes?" When Lakshmi stood by her opinion. Mohanlal responded, "I will welcome them to my home. When you are inside the house, you need to be careful with such comments. What right do you have to say who is allowed inside the house? Only you have a problem with them. If you can't stand them, leave the show."
