On the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20, actor-host Salman Khan delivered an intense and wide-ranging critique of online trolling culture, targeting the pervasive habits of body-shaming, age-shaming, invasive media coverage, and personal abuse directed at celebrities.

Salman Called Out Post-Pregnancy Body-Shaming & Trolling

A major focal point of Khan's address was the trolling faced by women over post-pregnancy weight gain. Although he avoided naming individuals directly, his statements arrived amid public discourse surrounding his Bharat co-star Katrina Kaif, who recently faced body-shaming regarding her appearance following her journey into motherhood. 

Calling out casual cruelty such as labelling women as "fat," Khan emphasised that pregnancy brings natural bodily changes. He asserted that public expectations forcing women to immediately regain their pre-pregnancy physique are unreasonable. He also reassured that actresses will naturally return to fitness in due time when resuming onscreen work.

Salman Also Addressed Age-Shaming on Turning 60

Khan also confronted the age-shaming directed at him. Acknowledging that he is 60 years old, he pointed out the absurdity of expecting him to retain his look from his previous movies. He even stripped off his hat, jacket, and makeup on stage, mockingly challenging trolls to pick apart his appearance.


Salman Khan’s Chest Pain Prank

Salman Khan has always found interesting ways to teach the house mates a lesson. During Saturday’s Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan appeared to hold his chest and feel uneasy, leaving everyone wondering if something was wrong with his health. But in reality, it was a prank to teach Qazi Touqueer a lesson. He had been playing a secret prank of his own. In the previous episodes, he told the housemates that he was unwell. But when Bigg Boss called him into the in-house doctor’s room for a check-up, Qazi revealed that he was actually pulling a prank on the other contestants. In reality, Salman's chest pain was to teach Qazi a lesson and inform the housemates about his prank. He even told him that taking such strategies for entertainment is really upsetting.

Clash Between Mahhi Vij and Mary Kom

An argument erupted between actress Mahhi Vij and Indian Olympic boxer Mary Kom during a recent episode. The confrontation started when Mahhi nominated Mary Kom as the contestant contributing the least to the game show. Mary Kom defended her contribution through cooking and managing the house, prompting Mahhi to make personal comments about Mary's mothering and past marriage.

Conclusion

The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode offered plenty of drama and commentary, highlighted by Salman Khan's powerful stance against online body shaming and his clever health prank on Qazi Touqueer, with the heated personal clash between Mahhi Vij and Mary Kom.
