Salman Khan’s strong message against online trolling and body-shaming on Bigg Boss 20 has struck a chord with several Bollywood celebrities, including Varun Dhawan, Kunal Kohli and Neha Dhupia.
Salman Khan turned the latest Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar into a discussion about something celebrities deal with almost every day — comments about their looks, weight, age and bodies. His remarks have now received reactions from several names from the entertainment industry.
During the episode, Salman spoke about the difference between genuinely expressing concern about someone’s health and deliberately making fun of their appearance. While making his point, he mentioned his brother Sohail Khan and actor Varun Dhawan, both of whom have faced comments about their looks online.
Varun Dhawan Reacts To Salman’s Words
Varun Dhawan appeared to appreciate Salman’s comments. The actor shared a video showing his father, filmmaker David Dhawan, watching the Bigg Boss 20 episode and reacting to Salman’s remarks.
Varun posted the clip along with a clapping emoji, making it clear that the moment had caught his attention. David Dhawan’s reaction also added a personal touch to the moment, considering Salman had specifically mentioned Varun while discussing online trolling.
Kunal Kohli Praises Salman
Filmmaker Kunal Kohli was among those who publicly supported Salman’s message. Sharing a clip from the episode, Kohli highlighted Salman’s comments about social-media behaviour, trolling and paparazzi culture.
Kohli also pointed towards the role played by people who encourage or engage with such content online, suggesting that social-media conversations need more basic etiquette and responsibility.
Neha Dhupia Says ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’
Neha Dhupia also reacted after Salman addressed the way celebrities, particularly women, are photographed and discussed online.
Keeping her response short, Neha shared a message on social media that read, “Tiger zinda hai…”, tagging Salman. Her reaction came after Salman spoke about paparazzi practices and photographs that can make celebrities uncomfortable.
Salman Also Addresses Comments On His Own Appearance
Salman didn’t limit his comments to the trolling faced by other celebrities. He also addressed the remarks regularly made about his own age, weight and appearance.
During the episode, he removed his shirt while responding to comments about his physique and reminded viewers that he is now 60. He also questioned why celebrities are expected to look exactly the same throughout their careers.
His larger point was that there is a difference between noticing a change in someone’s appearance and turning that change into an excuse for ridicule.
Bollywood Reacts To Salman’s Message
The reactions from Varun Dhawan, David Dhawan, Kunal Kohli and Neha Dhupia came as Salman’s Bigg Boss 20 comments sparked a wider conversation around social-media trolling, body-shaming and paparazzi culture.
Bigg Boss fame Monalisa also thanked Salman for speaking about the issue, while filmmaker Rohit Shetty later shared his support for Salman’s remarks.
With celebrities increasingly becoming the subject of constant online commentary, Salman’s Weekend Ka Vaar speech has clearly opened up a larger conversation — not just about trolls, but also about how celebrity images and personal lives are discussed on social media.
