Isha reminded him of what he had said previously and corrected him right away.

She said, “Nahi, tumne ye baat nahi boli. Tumne bola meri aankh mein agar koi colour dalega toh main uske muh pe thappad marunga.” She further added, “Mujhe bahut achhe se yaad hai, main bahut dhyan se sunke uthi hoon… aur tumne uss waqt sorry bola aur abhi tum statement change kar rahe ho.”

One viewer wrote, “The only woman giving the correct point while defending was #IshaRikhi. She stood up and questioned the ‘thappad’ remark.”

Another viewer commented, “Equality can be about mindset, talent and opportunities, but physical differences between men and women cannot simply be ignored. Isha understood the point and spoke up.”

Another viewer read, “Men saying ‘patak dunga’ or talking about hitting women should not be normalised. Credit to Isha for calling it out.”

Several viewers also pointed out that Isha did not stay quiet and directly addressed what Scout had said during the conversation. Her intervention became one of the talking points from the episode, with viewers discussing the exchange and her decision to question the remark.
