The clip from the latest Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar cut a tense moment where Salman Khan, mid‑stage, held his chest and seemed to collapse. New viewers, thinking the star was genuinely in distress, flooded social media with worried comments before the truth surfaced.
This wasn’t a medical emergency at all. In a staged setup, Khan was part of a prank aimed at Qazi Touqeer, who had previously feigned illness to entertain the housemates. Qazi’d even claimed a multiple personality disorder, only to admit he was faking when the in‑house doctor stepped in.
On Instagram, Khan posted a video explaining the mis‑cut, saying, "Nothing is wrong with my health by the grace of God. The Bigg Boss promo should not have been cut like the way it was cut." He added that the edit twisted the prank into a health scare, causing needless alarm.
The backlash highlighted how reality‑TV edits can blur fact and fiction. Fans who had started chanting for Khan’s medical check‑ups later realized the clip was all theatrics, raising questions about the ethics of sensational promos.
With the drama settled, the show’s next episode will see Qazi facing the consequences of his earlier hoax, while Khan’s Instagram story assures viewers he’s fine. The incident serves as a reminder that the house’s theatrics can spill over into the audience’s world, sometimes with unexpected results.
