In a recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20, host Salman Khan took a fiery stand against the growing culture of online trolling, body shaming, and ageism. Addressing the relentless comments he and other celebrities face regarding their appearance, the Bollywood superstar did not hold back. He challenged internet trolls directly, making a powerful statement that quickly became the highlight of the season.
Salman Khan Responds to Weight Trolling
The confrontation began when Salman was addressing contestant ScoutOP’s online behavior, which naturally steered the discussion toward the rampant toxicity on social media. Salman Khan openly spoke about the trolls who frequently target his age, weight, and changing looks.
Acknowledging that he is a 60-year-old man and cannot look like his Maine Pyar Kiya days forever, he called out the malicious mentality of those who mock others.
The Shirtless Challenge: “Pehle Apne Aap Ko Dekho”
In a bold and dramatic move, a visibly furious Salman removed his hat, jacket, and mic before taking off his T-shirt on national television. Displaying his physique to challenge the body shamers, he dared the trolls to mock him now.
“Mere upar bhi hua tha, bhai mota hogaya hai, lo kar lo na troll. Aajao ye sab nikalo,” (It happened with me too, brother has gotten fat, come on, troll me now), he challenged.
Trolls ko lekar #Salman ka patience hua khatam!

He further schooled the critics, urging them to reflect on their own lives before judging celebrities. “Pehle apne aap ko dekho. Aap log jo comment karte ho na, jo bhi karte ho. Pehle apni shakal dekh lo. Look at your parents’ health, your own health,” he firmly stated.

Defending Katrina Kaif’s Postpartum Weight
While Salman did not explicitly name anyone, netizens quickly connected his passionate defense of new mothers to his close friend and co-star Katrina Kaif. Kaif recently faced harsh online criticism over her postpartum weight gain after attending the Ambanis’ Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
Standing up for women everywhere, Salman slammed those who troll actresses for gaining weight after pregnancy. “Why do you troll somebody who gets pregnant? Pregnant hone ke baad everyone puts on weight… Pregnant thi toh weight gain kar liya, wapas movies mein aayegi toh fit ho jayegi. She wanted to spend time with her family,” he remarked, emphasizing that motherhood should never be a subject for mockery.

Calling Out Invasive Paparazzi Culture
Beyond weight trolling, the Sultan actor also took the paparazzi to task for capturing inappropriate angles of female actors. He strongly condemned the practice of taking “hip shots” and “leg shots” from behind, noting that no actress likes it. He urged young women to take a stand, advising them to turn around and slap anyone who tries to film them inappropriately.
@BeingSalmanKhan really said, “it’s done bro” once again.
