Salman Calls Out Netizens for Harassing Actress After Pregnancy
During Bigg Boss 20’s "Weekend War" segment, Salman Khan confronted individuals who target a female star’s physique after she gave birth. He labeled the repetitive online attacks as a form of body shaming that fuels online traffic rather than fosters respect.
The controversy erupted when the actress appeared with her husband at an exclusive Ganesh ceremony, just weeks after the birth of her child. Social media users swiftly began commenting on her increased weight, prompting Khan to intervene publicly.
Salman also referenced a recent clash between contestant Scout O.P. and Arishfa Khan, using the incident to illustrate how many users hide behind screens to spread negativity. He condemned the practice, stating, "Making money by pulling someone down shows a lack of good upbringing."
He reminded the audience that celebrities are often judged not only for their professional work but also for personal matters such as weight changes, family life, and milestones like motherhood.
Without revealing any names, he affirmed that a rise in weight after pregnancy is normal for all women and expressed confidence that the actress could return to the silver screen whenever she feels ready and fit.
The veteran actor also opened up about being the subject of jokes concerning his age, noting that reaching 60 naturally changes public expectations about his on‑screen image.
When probed about the reasons behind such trolling, Salman asked, "What compels you to keep harassing others?"
