Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar: Salman Khan Addresses Body-Shaming as Mahhi Vij and Mary Kom Fight

The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20 saw Salman Khan address several issues surrounding the way celebrities are treated in the public eye. The actor-host spoke about online trolling, body-shaming, age-shaming, intrusive media coverage and personal attacks against public figures.

Salman Khan Speaks Against Post-Pregnancy Body-Shaming

One of the key issues raised by Salman Khan was the criticism women often face over changes in their bodies after pregnancy. While he did not take any names, his comments came amid discussions surrounding his Bharat

co-star Katrina Kaif, who has faced criticism over her appearance following motherhood.

Salman criticised the practice of casually calling women “fat” and pointed out that pregnancy naturally brings physical changes. He questioned the expectation that women should immediately return to their pre-pregnancy appearance.

The actor also said that actresses can gradually get back into shape when they return to their professional commitments, stressing that there is no reason to subject them to unnecessary trolling over natural changes in their bodies.

Salman Addresses Age-Shaming at 60

Salman also spoke about the comments he receives regarding his age and appearance. Acknowledging that he is now 60, the actor questioned why people expect him to look exactly as he did in his earlier films.

During the episode, Salman removed his hat, jacket and makeup while addressing the criticism, seemingly challenging those who constantly scrutinise his appearance. His comments highlighted the pressure celebrities face to maintain a particular image regardless of their age.

Salman Khan’s Chest Pain Prank Leaves Housemates Confused

The episode also featured an unusual moment when Salman appeared to experience chest pain and seemed uncomfortable on stage. The housemates were left wondering whether there was a genuine health concern, but the situation eventually turned out to be a prank.

The incident was connected to Qazi Touqueer’s own prank inside the Bigg Boss

house. In earlier episodes, Qazi had told the other contestants that he was unwell. When Bigg Boss later called him to the in-house doctor’s room for a check-up, Qazi revealed that he had actually been pretending as part of a prank.

Salman’s apparent chest pain was staged to expose Qazi’s prank and make the contestants understand the impact of using such tactics for entertainment. Salman also told Qazi that resorting to such strategies could be upsetting.

Mahhi Vij and Mary Kom Get Into a Heated Argument

A separate confrontation involved actress Mahhi Vij and Indian Olympic boxer Mary Kom. The disagreement began after Mahhi nominated Mary as the contestant she felt was contributing the least to the game.

Mary defended herself by pointing to her contribution to household responsibilities, including cooking and managing the house. The argument escalated when Mahhi made personal remarks concerning Mary’s role as a mother and her previous marriage.

The exchange quickly became tense, adding another major confrontation to the latest Bigg Boss 20

episode.
