Fatima Sana Shaikh praised Salman Khan for speaking out against online trolling during her appearance on Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar.

Fatima appeared on the reality show alongside her Hunkkaar: The Roar co-stars Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Raghubir Yadav. Although the episode was yet to stream at the time of the supplied report, a promotional clip showed Fatima taking a moment to acknowledge Salman’s comments about social-media trolling.

She specifically praised the actor and host for giving trolls a “muh tod jawab” and said that statements made by someone with Salman’s public profile can have a wider impact.

Fatima Sana Shaikh Praises Salman’s Stand

In the promo, Fatima approached Salman and said she wanted to share something with him.

Referring to his comments from the previous Weekend Ka Vaar, she said, “Jiss tarike se aapne trolls ko iss baar muh tod jawab diya hai, it’s a huge thing.”

She went on to explain that when someone in a prominent position speaks openly about an issue and takes a stand, the message can reach a much larger audience.

Her comments came after Salman had addressed the social-media criticism directed at celebrities, including remarks about age, physical appearance and body shape.

For Fatima, the significance was not limited to what was said on the show. She highlighted the reach that comes with Salman’s position and argued that his decision to address such issues publicly can influence the way viewers think about online behaviour.

Salman Khan Addresses Online Trolling

During the previous Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman spoke about the trolling faced by actors over their appearance.

The discussion included comments about age, physique, hair and weight. Salman also addressed the broader issue of body shaming and age shaming.

He pointed out that women’s bodies can naturally change after childbirth, pushing back against the expectation that women should immediately return to a particular physical appearance.

The remarks came amid social-media discussion surrounding Katrina Kaif’s appearance after becoming a mother, although Salman did not name her in the comments described in the supplied report.

The actor also criticised the practice of photographing or filming women from inappropriate angles for social-media engagement.

Salman reportedly shared that even his niece had experienced such treatment and urged photographers and paparazzi not to circulate such footage simply to generate views.

Salman Also Questions Rhiti Tiwari Over Diss Task

The discussion around online trolling and respectful behaviour also comes against the backdrop of another Bigg Boss 20 controversy.

During a recent episode, Salman addressed Rhiti Tiwari over the language she allegedly used while participating in a “diss” task involving Qazi Touqeer and Uditi Singh.

Salman criticised the tone of the performance and told Rhiti that contestants still needed to maintain certain boundaries even during a task.

According to the supplied report, he told her, “Rhiti, it was the worst diss ever. You have to show respect within limits. Your language is going somewhere else.”

He also referred to her family background while making the point that her behaviour should remain within limits.

The exchange subsequently extended to the other members of Rhiti’s team. Salman questioned contestants including ScoutOP, Love Gill, Aamrapali Dubey, Aasif Khan and Yung DSA about their reaction to the incident.

Salman Questions Team Members for Laughing

Salman also questioned why the other contestants laughed instead of intervening when the exchange became disrespectful.

He reportedly asked whether they would have reacted differently if the same comments had been directed at a member of their own family.

His broader point was about responsibility within a group: according to Salman, contestants should not simply encourage or laugh at behaviour that crosses a line because it is happening during a competitive task.

The incident has become another example of the conversations around language, personal attacks and boundaries that have emerged during the current season.

Hunkkaar Cast Appears on Weekend Ka Vaar

Fatima’s comments came as she, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub and Raghubir Yadav visited the Bigg Boss 20 set to promote Hunkkaar: The Roar.

The web series brings the three actors together and provided the context for their appearance on the reality show.

While the promotional interaction focused partly on the series, Fatima used her time on stage to directly address Salman about his recent comments.

Her praise adds another celebrity reaction to the ongoing discussion around trolling and online commentary.

Why Fatima’s Comment Stood Out

Fatima’s reaction focused specifically on the influence attached to a celebrity’s public platform.

Her point was that when a high-profile personality speaks against a form of online behaviour, the message can extend beyond the television audience and reach people who participate in social-media conversations.

The Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episodes have increasingly included discussions about contestants’ behaviour inside the house as well as broader issues surrounding public commentary.

Fatima’s remarks therefore connected the two themes: the responsibility of public figures to address online trolling and the importance of maintaining boundaries when disagreements unfold on reality television.
