What Did Salman Khan Do on Bigg Boss 20?
During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode that aired on September 19, 2026, Salman Khan addressed the constant trolling he has faced over his age, weight, and haircut. After expressing frustration, he removed his hat and shirt on stage, telling trolls to look at his physique instead of making fun of him. Salman said in Hindi:
“Bhai mota hogaya hai, bhai ko troll karo… Karlo troll, yeh lo. Karlo troll. Aao, troll karna hai na? Troll karna pasand hai? Yeh dekho, close-up karlo.”
Translated, this means: “Salman has put on weight; go ahead and troll him… Go on, troll away—here you go. Troll him. Come on, you want to troll, right? You enjoy trolling? Look at this, get a close-up.”
Salman also called out people who make personal comments about celebrities, asking them to look at themselves first. He said:
“Kamaal hai! Pehle, apne aap ko dekho bhai. Yeh jo aap log comment karte ho na, jiske upar, kisi ke bhi upar, pehle apni shakal dekhlo. Apna jism dekhlo usme baad karna yeh.”
This translates to: “It’s unbelievable! First, take a look at yourself, man. Before you people make comments about anyone at all, look at your own face and your own body first.”
The moment drew praise from several fans and industry figures, including Kunal Kohli and Varun Dhawan, who reacted positively to Salman’s response to trolls.

Sofia entered Bigg Boss 7 as a wildcard contestant in 2013. Her season was marked by clashes with fellow contestant Armaan Kohli, which led to a police complaint and his brief arrest.

What Did Salman Say About Post-Pregnancy Body Shaming?
During the same Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan widened the conversation to body-shaming faced by women after pregnancy. He questioned why people feel entitled to comment on how a woman’s body changes after childbirth, saying:
“Why do you troll somebody who gets pregnant?”

His comments came amid social media discussion around Katrina Kaif, who recently became a mother and faced comments about her appearance after attending Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai.
