Bigg Boss 20: Salman Khan Goes Shirtless, Slams Body-Shaming Trolls

Bigg Boss 20: Salman Khan Goes Shirtless on Weekend Ka Vaar, Hits Back at Trolls Over Body-Shaming

Bigg Boss 20's latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode took an unexpected turn when host Salman Khan addressed online trolling, age-shaming and body-shaming. During the episode, Salman removed his hat, jacket and shirt while directly responding to people who have been commenting on his age, weight and appearance.

Salman Khan Calls Out Online Trolling

While interacting with the contestants, Salman spoke about how celebrities are frequently targeted online for their appearance, weight, age, family and even personal milestones.

He questioned the mentality behind such comments and said that people often look for different aspects of a celebrity's life to criticise.

The discussion also touched on the trolling faced by celebrities after becoming parents, with Salman pointing out that commenting on someone's body after motherhood can be particularly insensitive.

Salman Takes Off His Shirt on Stage

The conversation became more intense when Salman addressed the criticism he himself has received over his appearance.

He removed his hat and shirt on stage and challenged those who regularly comment about his physique and age. The moment drew a strong reaction from the contestants inside the Bigg Boss house.

Salman also pointed out the difference between genuine concern for someone's health and deliberately mocking their appearance.

Salman Responds to Age-Shaming

Salman also addressed comments about his age, acknowledging that he has been repeatedly targeted online for getting older.

His response came as part of a larger discussion about how celebrities are judged on their looks, weight, age and other personal characteristics.

The actor's comments became one of the most discussed moments from the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode.

Did Salman Indirectly Defend Katrina Kaif?

Although Salman Khan did not name Katrina Kaif, some social media users connected his comments about motherhood and post-pregnancy weight to the recent online trolling faced by the actress.

Reports noted that Salman spoke about how weight can change after pregnancy and suggested that a person can return to fitness when they resume professional work.

However, there was no direct reference to Katrina Kaif by Salman during the segment, so the connection remains a social-media interpretation rather than a statement from the actor.

Salman Also Criticises Paparazzi Culture

The Weekend Ka Vaar discussion went beyond social-media trolling.

Salman criticised paparazzi practices involving intrusive photographs of female celebrities, particularly when cameras focus on their bodies or capture uncomfortable angles.

He questioned the mentality behind such photography and urged women who feel uncomfortable to speak up against it.

A Larger Message Against Body-Shaming

The episode ultimately became a broader conversation about the way celebrities are discussed online.

Salman's comments covered body-shaming, age-shaming, appearance-based trolling and intrusive paparazzi behaviour, highlighting how quickly online criticism can become personal.

His shirtless moment added a dramatic visual element to the discussion, but the central issue addressed during the segment was the culture of targeting people over their physical appearance.

Bottom Line

Salman Khan's latest Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar appearance became a major talking point after he confronted online trolling and body-shaming and removed his shirt while responding to comments about his age, weight and appearance.

While some viewers connected his comments about post-pregnancy body changes to Katrina Kaif, Salman did not mention her by name, making that connection a matter of social-media interpretation rather than a confirmed statement.
