A Pointed Message During Weekend Ka Vaar
Salman Khan got visibly upset with those trolling actors over their appearance during the latest episode of "Weekend Ka Vaar" on "Bigg Boss 20." He lashed out at people criticising actresses for gaining weight after pregnancy, remarks widely seen as a veiled response to the online body-shaming directed at actress Katrina Kaif.
The Context Behind Salman's Remarks
Recently, Katrina made a rare public appearance at the Ambani family's Ganpati celebrations alongside her husband Vicky Kaushal, and several users took to social media to comment on her weight gain following the birth of her son, Vihaan. This wave of online criticism appears to have directly prompted Salman's comments during the show.
Addressing a Conflict Between Contestants
During the episode, Salman initially addressed a separate issue between contestants ScoutOP and Arishfa Khan. Earlier in the week, following a disagreement with Arishfa during a task, ScoutOP had asked his YouTube and gaming community to "khatam kardo isko" (finish her off), a remark that drew criticism for encouraging his online followers to target a fellow contestant.
