Salman Khan Addresses Pranit More’s Jokes About Him

During the first Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss Season 19, host Salman Khan confronted Pranit More about the jokes he had made about him in his stand-up gigs earlier. Salman said, "Pranit, mujhe pata hai ki aapne mere baare mein kya kya bola hai, jo ki sahi nahi hai. Jo jokes aapne mere upar maare hain, agar aap meri jagah hote aur main aapke jagah andar hota, to aap kaise react karte?" (Pranit, I know what you’ve said about me, which isn’t right. The jokes you made about me, if we swapped our roles, how would you react?)

He continued, "Par aap ko logon ko haswana tha, mere naam use karke, aapne wo kiya. I just don't think you should go beneath-the-belt." Salman added that if Pranit can earn using his name in any way, he's happy for him.

Pranit More Called Out for His Obsession With Tanya Mittal

While contestants Kunickaa Sadanand, Gaurav Khanna, Mridul Tiwari, and Natalia Janoszek received praise from Salman Khan for their gameplay, a few had a tough time listening to criticism from the host, including Tanya Mittal and Pranit More. Although the entire Weekend Ka Vaar episode revolved around Tanya, when Salman spoke with Pranit, he pointed out that the stand-up comedian's whole game revolved around Mittal.

He asked Pranit if he had realised that his world revolves around Tanya in the house, and no one else really matters to him. Salman said that Pranit cracks jokes only in front of her, not others like Gaurav, Zeisha, or Amaal, maybe because he is scared of them. He also pointed out that despite all this, Pranit went on to nominate her. Bigg Boss 19: 1st ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ With Salman Khan Airs Tonight; 7 Contestants Face Elimination.
