Salman Khan addressed online trolling and body-shaming during the second Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20, speaking about the criticism celebrities often face over weight gain, ageing and career setbacks.
His comments came at a time when Katrina Kaif had been facing social-media commentary about her appearance and postpartum weight after welcoming her first child. Although Salman did not mention Katrina by name, his remarks about women gaining weight during pregnancy have led to speculation that he was referring to the criticism faced by actresses after childbirth.
Salman Khan Talks About Trolling on Bigg Boss 20
During the episode, Salman discussed how celebrities can become targets of online jokes when their careers or appearances change.
Reflecting on criticism he has faced himself, the actor said:
“Kisike failure pe mazak banana, mere saath bhi hua tha. Abhi bhi ho raha hoga – ‘Buddha ho gaya hai’. Of course, 60 saal ka ho gaya; You can’t be Maine Pyar Kiya every time. What do you want to troll.”
Salman’s comments highlighted how public figures can be mocked for ageing or experiencing changes in their careers, even after years in the entertainment industry.
Salman Questions Trolling of Women After Pregnancy
The actor then addressed criticism directed at women who gain weight during pregnancy.
“Why do you troll joh pregnant hua hai. Pregnant hone ke baad everyone puts on weight.”
He further spoke about the tendency to mock actresses for changes in their bodies after pregnancy, suggesting that such weight gain should not become a reason for public ridicule.
Did Salman Khan Refer to Katrina Kaif?
Salman did not name Katrina Kaif while making these remarks. However, his comments have drawn attention because Katrina has recently been subjected to online discussion surrounding her postpartum appearance and weight.
Katrina and Vicky Kaushal welcomed their first child in November 2025. Following her pregnancy, social-media users commented on changes in her appearance, prompting discussions around postpartum body scrutiny.
Salman’s remarks about pregnancy-related weight gain therefore come amid that broader conversation, although there is no direct confirmation in the provided remarks that he was specifically referring to Katrina.
Salman Says Weight Can Change After Returning to Work
While discussing actresses who gain weight during pregnancy, Salman also indicated that women can lose the additional weight after returning to their professional routines.
His broader point was that changes in a person’s body should not automatically become a subject of ridicule, particularly when those changes are associated with pregnancy.
Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar
The comments came during the second Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20, where Salman Khan continues to host the reality show’s weekend episodes.
His discussion about trolling touched on both sides of celebrity scrutiny—how actors are mocked for ageing and career setbacks, and how actresses can face intense commentary about their bodies after pregnancy.
While Salman did not specifically identify Katrina Kaif, his remarks have sparked discussion because of the timing and the ongoing conversation around postpartum body-shaming in the entertainment industry.
