Sometimes used an insult for a fat person.

Same  as in baigan.  Whn Indians  say the word , they stress on the AI n there is a faint N sound after the AI  
so i think it baiNgan/bhaiNgan

ps i have many  indian coworkers ..mostly  Punjabis/Sikhs n Gujratis

they say baylan for belna

n call sada roti Phulka roti

the ‘ph’ sound is not an ‘F’ sound like in English
