Munmun Dutta, who plays Babita Ji in Tarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chasmah, has been embroiled in controversy after using a casteist slur in a video she recently uploaded to her YouTube channel.
In the video she said, “Lip tint ko halka sa blush ki tarah laga liya hai because main YouTube pe aane wali hoon aur main achha dikhn chahti hoon. Bhangi ki tarah nahi dikhna chahti hoon.”

Munmun Dutta, who is well-liked by all, is now facing backlash for using the word ‘bhangi’ in one of her videos, hurting the feelings of the Scheduled Case community.
The actress, on the other hand, later apologized for using the words and stated that she was misinformed about the meaning of the word due to her language barrier and that once she was made aware of what the word meant, she immediately dropped the part.
