The Weekend Ka Vaar wasn’t just about grilling contestants — it was Salman Khan who turned the spotlight on himself. After weeks of chatter online about him going easy on Amaal Mallik inside the Bigg Boss 19 house, the host finally addressed the accusations head-on, offering a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into what really goes down off-camera.
“I’ve Bashed Amaal the Most”: Salman Clears the Air
With fans questioning his stance on Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan didn’t hold back. Addressing allegations of being “soft” on singer-composer Amaal Mallik, the actor used the weekend episode to set the record straight.
As tensions simmered among housemates and social media buzzed with bias claims, Salman flipped the script. He directly asked the contestants
who they believed he’s been toughest on. Everyone said: Amaal.
“Yes, I’ve bashed Amaal the most, but not everything goes on air. Some of the things I’ve said to him are personal remarks that I wouldn’t say to anyone else. This doesn’t mean I’m partial towards him,” he clarified, visibly shutting down the growing narrative outside the house.
The host didn’t stop there. He also responded to murmurs about favouritism towards Kunickaa Sadanand, stating firmly that his intention is to guide everyone — not favour anyone. “All the contestants are evaluated on their actions, aggression, and approach,” he added, pointing out that praise or criticism isn’t handed out based on personal equations.
Praise for Abhishek, Reality Check for Tanya
Salman made it clear that Abhishek Bajaj, not Amaal, has earned the most praise this season — purely on merit. The commentary came as a subtle reminder that perception outside the house doesn’t always match what happens inside.
Turning to a separate conflict, he grilled captain Nehal Chudasama about the lunch duty fiasco involving wildcard Malti Chahar. Salman reminded her of a past incident when she herself postponed duties post-workout — mirroring the very behaviour she criticised.
Later, he addressed Tanya Mittal’s teary meltdown after a push during nominations. “Why did you break down like that? It was a task, not a personal attack,” he said, calling out her inconsistencies.
With this episode, Salman not only confronted the audience’s doubts but also re-established his no-nonsense hosting style.
