Ever since Bigg Boss 12 has gone on air, among other contestants, it is Bhajan Singer Anup Jalota who is garnering all the attention. Reason being his relationship with Jasleen Matharu. The duo made it official during Bigg Boss 12 premiere night and since then the tongues are wagging. While it confused contestants inside the Bigg Boss house, he was also trolled on social media. He was also mocked by controversy queen Rakhi Sawant for dating a girl of his granddaughter’s age.

While Jasleen’s father has reacted to their relationship, no one had said anything about the Bhajan maestro. However, recently, fed up with all the hate comments Anup has garnered, singer Talat Aziz has come to defend his friend. In a long post, Talat has called Anup Talota an exemplary father, brother and a friend and also said that it is his choice if he dates someone. The long post also tells about Anup’s struggle while his wife Medha was severely ill.
Read his entire post below:

In the last two days there has been so much trolling in the social media and platforms of Anup Jalota who is my dear friend since the last 40 years. So I want to say something about him. First of all Anup has been an exemplary husband father brother and absolutely a steadfast friend standing shoulder to shoulder with everyone he cared for. He has been a source of encouragement to new singers and encouraged them. We have seen him steady as a rock during the traumatic 14 years of his dear wife Medha’s illness. During this time of extreme emotional physical and also financial stress because of heart transplants kidney failures of his dear wife Medha I have never seen him even with a crease or a frown on his forehead . He was at her side through out with a smile . We all used to wonder how he was able to cope with all this stress which would have broken anyone less strong. Today when I see negative comments about him because he has come out in the open about a personal chapter of his life on a TV show I strongly feel that it is his prerogative and he has all the right to do so as long as he has not hurt anyone. And he hasn’t..... So I appeal to all friends and music lovers to kindly remember that he has been a pillar of the music industry for over four decades on the basis of his musical prowess and strength only. One doesn’t last that long in this profession if you do not have the strength of character for it. I wish him all the best and happiness in his life and career and pray that the Almighty grants him happiness which he truly deserves. #anupjalota @jalotaanup #friends #friendship #liveandletlive
