Bigg Boss 20 is heading into another tense Weekend Ka Vaar, with host Salman Khan addressing the controversy involving contestants Qazi Touqeer and Kanika Mann. A new promo released ahead of the episode shows Salman questioning Qazi about his controversial “lollipop” comment and his handling of the situation after Kanika expressed discomfort.
The issue has become one of the talking points inside the Bigg Boss house after Qazi made the remark during a classroom-style interaction with Kanika. While Qazi maintained that the comment was made jokingly and without an inappropriate intention, Kanika objected to it and later described the remark as “cheap.”
Salman’s intervention comes during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, where he questions Qazi about why he continued defending the comment instead of stepping back once Kanika made it clear that she was uncomfortable.
Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar: Salman Khan Questions Qazi Touqeer
In the latest promo, Salman Khan directly addresses Qazi Touqeer over the incident with Kanika Mann.
Salman tells Qazi that even if his intention was different, he should have backed out once Kanika interpreted the comment differently. He also criticises Qazi for continuing to explain and justify the situation.
The host says, “Qazi, jab kisi ko aapka intention galat laga hai, you should just back out. Lekin aap lage rahe nonstop like a stuck record.”
The remark highlights the central issue Salman wants Qazi to address: not simply what he intended to say, but how the other person received the comment and what happened afterward.
Salman further questions why Qazi allowed the disagreement to continue instead of bringing the matter to an end.
What Happened Between Qazi Touqeer and Kanika Mann?
The controversy began during a classroom-themed interaction inside the Bigg Boss house.
Kanika Mann was playing the role of a teacher while Qazi Touqeer participated as a student. When Kanika asked him which subject he would study, Qazi reportedly responded that he would study Biology.
He then complimented Kanika and made the “lollipop” comment.
Kanika did not find the remark appropriate and walked away from the conversation. The incident later developed into a larger disagreement when the two contestants discussed the comment again.
According to reports, Qazi maintained that his comment was meant as a joke and that he did not have a wrong intention. Kanika, however, did not accept that explanation and objected to the remark.
Kanika Mann Calls Qazi’s Comment “Cheap”
Kanika later confronted Qazi about the comment.
She made it clear that she had already told him that she did not like such remarks. She also questioned Qazi’s explanation that the statement was connected to the character he was portraying.
Reports on the confrontation say Kanika questioned how the conversation moved from “Biology” to “lollipop” and argued that the explanation did not make sense to her.
The incident subsequently became a larger discussion among the contestants, with different housemates reacting to the exchange.
Qazi continued to maintain that his intention was not inappropriate.
Salman Khan Asks: Did Qazi Apologise?
During Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman shifts the discussion toward the question of an apology.
He asks Kanika whether Qazi apologised to her.
Kanika responds that she did not feel he properly apologised. Qazi then attempts to explain that he had said sorry.
Salman, however, says that he did not see Qazi apologising to Kanika.
The host also refers to Qazi’s earlier statement that he would rather take a bullet than apologise, according to the promo reports.
The exchange puts Qazi in a difficult position as Salman repeatedly asks him to explain his approach after the disagreement.
Qazi Says He Apologised “Mazaak Mazaak Mein”
Qazi tries to clarify his position by saying that he had apologised jokingly.
That explanation prompts another response from Salman.
Salman questions whether someone can really apologise as a joke and asks Qazi whether he has ever heard someone say sorry in that manner.
The conversation shows Salman focusing less on the original remark and more on how Qazi dealt with Kanika’s reaction afterward.
The promo therefore turns the controversy into a larger conversation about accountability, communication and knowing when to step away from an argument.
Salman Khan Says Qazi Went “Wrong” This Week
Another part of the promo reportedly shows Salman comparing Qazi’s conduct during the first few weeks of the season with his behaviour during the current week.
Salman tells Qazi that he had been straightforward during the first three weeks but believes that he went in the wrong direction during this particular situation.
The host’s criticism is specifically connected to Qazi continuing the discussion after Kanika had already expressed discomfort.
Salman tells him that regardless of what his intention was, once someone interpreted the remark negatively, the appropriate response was to back out rather than continue arguing.
Qazi Touqeer’s Side of the Controversy
Qazi has consistently maintained that his comment was not made with a wrong intention.
His team also addressed the controversy publicly. In a statement reported by Moneycontrol, Qazi’s team argued that the comment was made in a lighthearted manner and accused others of repeatedly targeting him over the issue.
The statement also questioned the criticism surrounding the use of the word “lollipop” and argued that the context of the comment had been misunderstood.
Therefore, the controversy currently has two clearly reported perspectives: Kanika’s objection to the remark and Qazi’s explanation that he did not intend it in the manner she interpreted it.
Why the “Lollipop” Controversy Became a Bigg Boss 20 Talking Point
Small arguments frequently become major storylines inside the Bigg Boss house because contestants continue living together after a disagreement.
In this case, the issue did not end immediately after the original interaction.
Kanika confronted Qazi again, Qazi defended his intention, and the matter subsequently became part of the Weekend Ka Vaar discussion.
Salman Khan’s involvement has now brought the disagreement into the spotlight outside the house as well.
The latest promo suggests that the focus of the Weekend Ka Vaar conversation will be on whether Qazi should have apologised sooner and whether continuing to justify the remark made the situation worse.
