Fatima Sana Shaikh will be the latest celebrity guest on Bigg Boss 20 as she arrives on the reality show to promote her recent web series Hunkkaar: The Roar.
A promo released ahead of the upcoming Weekend Ka Vaar episode features Fatima speaking directly to host Salman Khan about his comments on trolling and online abuse.
Fatima Sana Shaikh praises Salman Khan
In the promo, Fatima asks Salman if she can say something before praising the actor for the way he addressed online trolls during the previous weekend’s episode.
She tells him:
“Jiss tarike se aapne trolls ko iss baar muh tod jawab diya hai, it’s a huge thing. Kyunki, aapke position mein koi aisi baat karta hai, koi muddon pe khada hota hai, woh bahut hi bada impact deta hai logon pe.”
She essentially tells Salman that his response carries additional weight because of his position and public reach.
The promo does not reveal Salman’s complete response to Fatima’s comments.
What did Salman Khan say about trolling on Bigg Boss 20?
Salman’s comments came during a previous Weekend Ka Vaar episode while he was addressing a dispute involving contestants.
During the discussion, the actor spoke about the trolling he has faced over his appearance and age. He removed his shirt and hat while talking about comments surrounding his body, hair and looks.
Salman also explained that his current hairstyle was connected to an upcoming film role.
The actor went on to discuss the broader culture of online trolling and body-shaming. He questioned why people should make money by insulting someone else.
Salman speaks about body-shaming
During the same discussion, Salman addressed comments about celebrities’ bodies and personal lives.
He referred to the way women can be subjected to scrutiny over changes in their bodies after pregnancy, pointing out that weight gain following childbirth is normal.
Although he did not name Katrina Kaif, his comments came amid online discussion about the actor’s postpartum appearance.
Salman also questioned the practice of photographing women in inappropriate situations for social media engagement.
He said that even members of his own family had experienced unwanted attention from paparazzi and urged photographers and social-media users to exercise restraint.
Salman Khan addresses Rhiti Tiwari’s language
In another segment of the current Bigg Boss 20 season, Salman addressed Rhiti Tiwari, daughter of actor-politician Manoj Tiwari, over language she reportedly used against other contestants during a task.
Salman told her that her words were inappropriate and could also affect how people perceive her father.
He also referred to the attention surrounding her entry into the show as a “nepo kid”.
Salman told Rhiti:
“Nobody knew you till the time you came on Bigg Boss. People said that since you are a nepo kid, I won’t scream at you. I don’t think that’s the right thing to do right now.”
He then criticised her language and added that her conduct could have an impact on her father.
Salman concluded the exchange by reminding her that she is “Manoj Tiwari’s daughter, not Dolly Bindra’s.”
