Salman Khan roasts paps and trolls on Bigg Boss 20

Salman Khan delivered a blistering rebuke of paparazzi and online trolls during Weekend Kaaar on Bigg Boss 20, signaling one of the season’s most outspoken moments from the megastar. Speaking to host Mahhi Vij, Khan attacked photographers for taking rear shots of actresses and posting them online, calling them “disgusting people” and urging a blunt response: “Just give them a slap.” He added that the behavior crosses lines and that “it’s about everyone: actors, influencers, and politicians too.” This moment underscored Khan’s willingness to publicly confront media intrusion and online harassment, a topic that has animated fans and industry observers alike.

He recalled specific examples, saying, “I saw Saiee Manjrekar, who worked with us in Dabangg; she became so awkward because of this. Neha Dhupia fired them. Even my own niece was walking, and this shot was taken from behind. Why? And then they captioned it as, ‘Guess Who?'”.

The actor also addressed online hate directed at celebrities for weight, pregnancy, looks, and career ups and downs. He asserted, “It’s about everyone: actors, influencers, and politicians too.” He also defended Katrina Kaif’s postpartum look, saying, “Pregnancy me everyone puts on some weight, jab wo filmo me wapas aa jaygi, wo fit ho jayengi (when she returns to work, she will be back in shape).”

In a dramatic on-air moment, Khan removed his hat and makeup, going shirtless live on camera and quipping, “Lo kar lo troll, mai deta hu tumko troll karne ka material.” The sequence, described as a bold display of confidence, came as fans noted the actor’s willingness to put his body on display at age 60 to prove his point about trolling. He also referenced a recent trolling incident involving Sunny Deol over torn shoes. The episode has been described as an “OG Salman Khan moment” that fans will remember as a defining stance against online harassment.

The takeaway from the Weekend Kaaar exchange is a clear, public stance from a veteran star on media behavior and the ethics of posting intrusive photos. It highlights the ongoing conversation within Bollywood about paparazzi practices and the impact of online hate on performers’ lives.
