Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is known for his unfiltered hosting style on Bigg Boss, but the recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20 saw him reach a breaking point regarding the rising culture of internet bullying. The actor, who usually ignores online negativity, used the national television platform to fiercely confront trolls who have relentlessly mocked his age, weight, and appearance. In an unprecedented move, Khan did not just stop at defending himself; he advocated for women facing postpartum body-shaming and called out the paparazzi for their invasive photography tactics.
Why Did Salman Khan Confront Trolls on Bigg Boss 20?
The fiery exchange was triggered when Salman Khan addressed a controversy involving contestant and gamer ScoutOP. During the previous week, Scout had asked his gaming community to troll Salman if the host said anything inappropriate to him.
Questioning the mentality behind weaponizing internet followers, an apologetic Scout faced Salman’s wrath as the conversation shifted to the broader, toxic culture of online trolling. Salman asked what gives netizens the right to pass judgment on someone’s weight, family, failures, or personal life, stating that such comments only reflect the trolls’ poor upbringing.
How Did Salman Address the Trolling About His Age and Weight?
Instead of brushing off the remarks about his changing appearance, Salman Khan addressed them head-on. Acknowledging the frequent comments calling him “old” and “fat,” he frankly stated, “Of course, I am 60 years old, yaar. You cannot be Maine Pyar Kiya all the time”.
Trolls ko lekar #Salman ka patience hua khatam!

In a dramatic television moment, the visibly furious host removed his cowboy hat, jacket, and t-shirt on camera, showcasing his fit physique. He even wiped off his television makeup and directly challenged his detractors: “Bhai mota ho gaya hai… kar lo na troll, ye lo” (Brother has become fat… now come, troll me). He urged internet bullies to look at their own health and their parents’ health before targeting celebrities.

Who Else Did Salman Khan Defend During the Episode?
While Salman took a stand for himself and his brother Sohail Khan, the internet immediately noted his fierce defense of new mothers—a statement widely interpreted as a defense of his close friend and co-star, Katrina Kaif. Without taking any names, Salman expressed utter disgust at netizens who troll women for gaining weight after pregnancy. “Why do you troll somebody who gets pregnant? Pregnant hone ke baad everyone puts on weight,” he stated, adding that once a new mother decides to return to movies, she will naturally get fit again.

This comes shortly after Katrina Kaif was subjected to harsh postpartum weight scrutiny following her appearance at the Ambani family’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. Fans flooded social media, praising Salman for effectively shutting down body-shamers with his powerful remark, “Kisi ke maa banne par…” (On someone becoming a mother).
OMG, Salman literally said, “Pregnant thi toh weight gain kar liya, wapas movies mein aayegi toh fit ho jayegi. She wanted to spend time with her family.”
He’s literally taking a stand for Katrina. 🥹❤️#Biggboos20 #bb20

What Was His Message to the Paparazzi?
Moving beyond online trolls, Salman Khan turned his anger toward the paparazzi culture that commodifies women’s bodies. He lashed out at photographers for deliberately capturing inappropriate angles, such as zooming in on female actors from behind.
He passionately voiced how uncomfortable this makes female celebrities, sharing that even his own niece has been subjected to such invasive “guess who” paparazzi posts. Empowering women to fight back against this invasive media behavior, Salman advised girls to turn around and slap any photographer caught taking such compromising shots.
@BeingSalmanKhan really said, “it’s done bro” once again.
