The weekend episodes are always special for Bigg Boss fans, as they get to see the show’s host, Salman Khan, sharing his opinions and regulating the behavior of the housemates on the small screen. The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19 was no different.
In yesterday’s episode (November 1), the Dabangg actor lashed out at Shehbaz Badesha for his controversial remarks about being saved by the fans of the late actor Sidharth Shukla. Shehbaz’s comments quickly went viral, and Salman Khan did not hesitate to school him on the implications of his words.
### The Controversy with Shehbaz Badesha
The controversy began during an episode last week when Gaurav Khanna pointed out that Shehbaz had been “playing safe” in the Bigg Boss house and had not been nominated even once. In response, Shehbaz claimed that even if he got nominated, he would be saved by Sidharth Shukla’s fans.
This statement sparked outrage among netizens and fans, many of whom felt that it was insensitive to invoke Sidharth’s name in this manner.
### Salman Khan Addresses the Issue
During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan brought up the matter and questioned Shehbaz for involving Sidharth’s name in the game. Salman said to Shehbaz,
> “Aap bade confident hain ki Sidharth Shukla ke fans aapko support karenge.”
> (You seem very confident that Sidharth Shukla’s fans will support you.)
Salman further emphasized Sidharth’s achievements on the show, stating,
> “Shehbaz, main aapko yeh baat btaana chahta hoon, Sidharth ne jo bhi kiya hai show mein, aapne dum par kiya hai. Usne kisi ka naam nahi uchala hai aur aapka game, uske game ke 1% bhi barabar nahi hai.”
> (Shehbaz, I want to tell you that whatever Sidharth achieved on the show, he did on his own merit. He never took anyone’s name, and your game isn’t even 1% close to his.)
He then questioned Shehbaz, saying,
> “So do you really think Sidharth’s fans will support someone whose game isn’t even close to 1% of his? Do you think that Sidharth Shukla—God bless his soul—would have supported you, seeing the way you’re playing this game?”
### Addressing Shehbaz’s Claim of Knowing Salman
Salman did not stop there. He also called out Shehbaz for claiming that he “knows” Salman well. The host clarified,
> “And you also said that you know me very well—I heard you say that too. When did that happen? I have only met you once or twice in my life, and that too was during shoots.”
### Salman Khan’s Advice to Shehbaz
Finally, Salman reminded Shehbaz to focus on his own strengths rather than relying on references to others. He said,
> “You are funny, and you have a good sense of humor, so use it properly and do not go below the belt. You have had many genuinely funny moments, but has the box of jokes you came with run out? I told you not to irritate and not to go below the belt; I never said to stop doing comedy.”
Salman’s remarks served as a strong message to Shehbaz, urging him to play the game with sincerity and respect, while leveraging his natural talents effectively.
