Is Salman Khan biased?
While exclusively talking to us, Deepak Dhar, one of Bigg Boss makers specified, "
Salman bhai kuch scripted nahi kar sakte hai. Vo Salman bhai hai, vo big brother hai. We love and respect him, vo show ki jaan hai. Vo bhi jaante hai ki log toh bolenge hi. But we have to be true and responsible as makers. We have his back and guidance aur hum har kisi ko javaab nahi dete hai, jab javaab dena hota hai tab hi dete hai.(
Translation: Salman bhai can’t do anything scripted. He is Salman bhai—he’s like a big brother. We love and respect him; he is the soul of the show. He also knows that people will always talk. But as makers, we have to be honest and responsible. We have his support and guidance, and we don’t respond to everyone—only when it’s necessary)."Further speaking on Bhaijaan's behalf, Dhar called him a man with a golden heart. "Vo itna neutral and unbiased hai. He is a man with a golden heart, vo kese biased ho sakte hai, nahi ho sakte. He is extremely involved in the narrative, how fair and balanced the game is."Take a look at the complete interview here:
