Salman Khan Rebukes Bigg Boss 19 Contestants Over Body‑Shaming Ashnoor Kaur

The on‑air rebuke follows viral footage that triggered celebrity condemnation.

Overview

  • During Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan confronted Tanya Mittal and Neelam Giri, citing footage where they called Ashnoor Kaur “haathi,” “moti,” “dinosaur,” and “fugge.”
  • Ashnoor Kaur grew emotional and detailed past body‑image struggles, including an eating disorder, hormonal imbalance, stress‑related bloating, and a 9 kg weight loss before entering the house.
  • Tanya Mittal acknowledged her remarks and apologised on air as Khan called the behaviour immature and admonished Kunickaa Sadanand for failing to curb the comments and contributing to them.
  • The remarks highlighted in the episode stemmed from a captaincy task and later conversations, including Tanya quietly telling Farhana, “dekh itna bada haathi,” as shown in broadcast clips.
  • Public figures such as Gauahar Khan and Komal Pandey denounced the conduct, with ongoing social‑media debate pressing for accountability inside the show.
