Bollywood superstar Salman Khan may not often react to controversies, but in the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar, he seemed to take a subtle but sharp dig at Dabangg filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap. The episode, which began with light-hearted moments and a birthday celebration, quickly turned into a talking point after Salman addressed some "baseless" remarks made by people who were once associated with him. Now, fans are wondering, was that a clap back?
Salman Khan hits back at Dabangg filmmaker remarks
During the episode, Salman surprised Bigg Boss contestant Tanya Mittal by stepping into the house and personally wishing her a happy birthday. He even gifted her a special singhasan (throne), making it a moment to remember. An emotional Tanya said she hoped Salman could become like family to her in Mumbai so she wouldn’t feel unsafe living in the city.
Soon after, the conversation shifted in tone. Without naming anyone directly, Salman spoke about how people who were once attached to him now talk negatively. "People who have known me or worked with me are now speaking nonsense in podcasts because they have no work," he said. The video is currently making rounds on the internet.
The comment reportedly appears to be a response to Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap, who recently stirred controversy with multiple podcast appearances. In these, he accused Salman of sabotaging careers, taking undue credit for Dabangg, and even manipulating people in the industry. He also accused the actor of "gunda raaj" in Bollywood.
What were Abhinav Kashyap remarks?
Abhinav Kashyap went further by bringing up old disputes, including claims that Salman created problems for his brother Anurag Kashyap during the production of Tere Naam, which allegedly led Anurag to step away from the project. Abhinav also questioned Salman's recent public praise for Anurag’s film Nishaanchi, calling it nothing more than flattery meant to silence critics.
Salman, known for not reacting to such statements publicly, seemed to choose Bigg Boss as the platform to deliver his response. He advised the contestants, and perhaps indirectly his critics, to get up and work instead of spreading negativity. “Just do your job. No matter what, keep working,” he added.
Despite the clear tension in the air, the episode ended on a positive note. Tanya made a fun wish asking fellow contestant Shehbaz to play her part in the house, and singer Amaal Malik serenaded the audience with a soulful number. The celebration wrapped up with a lively musical performance by Amaal and Pranit, bringing back the cheerful mood.
The episode has since gone viral, with fans debating whether Salman’s comments were aimed at Kashyap. Meanewhile, the actor is currently shooting for his next film The Battle Of Galwan.
