Salman Khan’s latest rant unfurled on the live feed of Bigg Boss 20 last Friday – a 3 March 2026 clip that went viral in a split second. He called out the internet mob for spewing ridicule at Katrina Kaif’s postpartum weight gain and even tore into paparazzi for snatching ‘inappropriate’ shots of female actors.
But the real shocker came when Vivek Oberoi, sitting across from the superstar, threw his support into the ring. “Trolling karna bhi nahi chahiye,” Oberoi said, echoing Salman’s own words about the negative nature of online harassment. He added, “Why indulge in negative things?”—the same line that had just been delivered by the dashing 59‑year‑old on the show.
Salman didn’t hold back either. He stripped off his shirt, wiped off his makeup in front of the cameras and challenged the trolls to mock him. He even flaunted his fit physique, saying, “You can’t say I’m old; I’m 60, yaar.” The scene was a stark reminder that age, weight, and paparazzi scrutiny are still hot topics in Bollywood’s glare.
The episode was a microcosm of the larger debate: who owns the narrative when a star’s personal life becomes fodder for the internet? While Salman defended the right to privacy, Oberoi’s sudden backing of the superstar’s stance surprised many—especially since the two had a history of mutual respect on set and a shared sense of humor.
Moving forward, the next episode of Bigg Boss is slated for 10 March, and the drama will likely pick up where it left off. Fans are already speculating whether Oberoi will stay silent or step up again, and whether Salman will continue to take on trolls or shift focus to his upcoming film projects.
The incident reminds us that even the biggest names in Bollywood can clash over the same issues, and that the line between support and backlash can flip in the blink of an eye. Stay tuned for more fireworks as the season heats up.
