Salman Khan condemns body shaming and clarifies health scare on Bigg Boss 20
During a Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20, host Salman Khan addressed the issue of online trolling, specifically targeting body shaming and personal attacks. Khan criticized the tendency of social media users to mock celebrities for their weight, age, and appearance. While not naming her directly, his comments regarding women being judged for their bodies after pregnancy were widely interpreted as a defense of actress Katrina Kaif, who has recently faced scrutiny over her postpartum appearance.
To emphasize his point against body shaming, Khan removed his jacket and shirt on stage. He also criticized the paparazzi for taking inappropriate photos of actresses from behind and urged performers to stand up against such behavior.
Additionally, Khan addressed recent health concerns after a promotional clip showed him appearing to suffer chest pain. He clarified via Instagram that he is in good health and that the sequence was a staged demonstration intended to teach contestant Qazi Touqeer a lesson about the consequences of faking medical emergencies for entertainment. Khan expressed disappointment with the show's promotional editing, which he said misrepresented the intent of the scene.
