I am shocked to hear about Jasleen and Anup, says father Kesar Matharu

Television viewers were left gasping when Bigg Boss 12 contestant Jasleen Matharu made a grand announcement about her secret relationship with veteran devotional singer Anup Jalota, who is also an inmate in the house, on the reality show’s opening last night.

Jasleen made her acting debut in The Dirty Relation (2013) that was directed by her father Kesar Matharu. At 11, she started training in classical and western singing. Jasleen has garnered much popularity for her live shows with big singers like Mika Singh, Sukhwinder Singh and Amjad Khan to name a few.

Her father Kesar Matharu is in a state of shock and told PeepingMoon.com, “I am surprised by the Jasleen’s announcement on national TV that she’s in a relationship with Anup Jalota. I had no clue about any chemistry between the two until they went to Bigg Boss. I am still confused about this and helpless that I can’t contact anyone inside the house.”

Matharu added that he has known Anup for a long time. “He used to do bhajan practice with us and he wasn’t in any kind of relationship with my daughter then. I am numb and don’t know how to react to this sudden news,” he said.

Anup Jalota has entered the reality show as ‘Vichitra Jodi’ with Jasleen who is 37 years his junior. Soon after her announcement, the couple was trolled all across social media. Even the host of the show, Salman Khan was taken aback with the announcement.
