Salman Khan's Strong Stance Against Trolling on 'Bigg Boss 20'
Salman Khan, known for his no-nonsense approach, used the platform of 'Bigg Boss 20' on September 20, 2026, to deliver a scathing critique of online trolls. Without explicitly naming Katrina Kaif, he fiercely defended women, particularly new mothers, who face criticism for post-pregnancy weight gain. The actor questioned the mentality behind such trolling, emphasizing that it is natural for women to gain weight after childbirth.
During the 'Weekend Ka Vaar' episode, Salman stated, "Why do you troll somebody who gets pregnant? Pregnant hone ke baad everyone puts on weight...Jab woh picturon mein wapas ajayegi toh woh fit ajayegi...she wants to spend time with her family." He also criticised age-shaming and other forms of online negativity, urging people to reflect on their own upbringing when making such comments. His strong message resonated widely, leading to Dr Ejaz Waris's subsequent apology. Sofia Hayat Calls Salman Khan ‘Hypocritical Idiot’ Over Past ‘Bigg Boss’ Body-Shaming Remarks.
