Bigg Boss 19: Salman Khan Calls Out Shehbaz Badesha’s Controversial Remark
The latest season of Bigg Boss 19 is making headlines yet again, this time for a heated exchange between host Salman Khan and contestant Shehbaz Badesha. The drama unfolded after Shehbaz made a controversial remark about late actor Siddharth Shukla’s fanbase, prompting Salman to intervene sternly.
What Did Shehbaz Badesha Say About Siddharth Shukla’s Fans?
During a task, Shehbaz Badesha—known for his blunt opinions—made a statement targeting Siddharth Shukla’s loyal fanbase, the “Siddharthians.” Siddharth, the winner of Bigg Boss 13, remains a beloved figure in Indian entertainment even after his tragic passing in 2021.
Many viewers and housemates found Shehbaz’s comment disrespectful, leading to immediate backlash inside the Bigg Boss house.
Salman Khan’s Strong Warning to Shehbaz
Salman Khan, during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, directly addressed Shehbaz, stating:
“Aapka game aisa nahi chalega. Siddharth Shukla ke fans se aise baat nahi ki jaati.”
(Your game won’t work like this. You don’t talk like this about Siddharth Shukla’s fans.)
His message was clear: while Bigg Boss thrives on drama, respecting the departed and their fans is non-negotiable.
How Did Fans React?
The incident went viral, with Siddharth Shukla’s supporters flooding social media with gratitude for Salman’s defense. Many fans shared emotional posts, emphasizing that no one should disrespect the late actor’s legacy.
However, some viewers argued that Shehbaz’s words were taken out of context, sparking debates on the show’s boundaries between entertainment and sensitivity.
Bigg Boss and the Line Between Drama and Disrespect
This controversy has reignited discussions on how far contestants go for screen time. While Bigg Boss is no stranger to fights and personal remarks, Salman’s intervention highlights the importance of maintaining respect—even in a high-pressure reality show.
Shehbaz’s Apology and Future in the Show
After Salman’s reprimand, Shehbaz claimed his words were misinterpreted and expressed regret. However, with voting lines open, will this controversy affect his stay in the house?
Final Takeaway
Salman Khan’s strong stance reinforces his role as the moral compass of Bigg Boss. As the season progresses, viewers can expect more drama—but hopefully, with greater mindfulness.
