Salman Khan addressed the issue of online trolling during the latest Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode, defending Katrina Kaif after the actor faced criticism over her post-pregnancy weight gain.

While discussing the growing culture of social-media trolling, Salman questioned the practice of targeting celebrities and attempting to bring them down for online engagement.

The Bigg Boss 20 host said social media has created employment opportunities for many people, but also pointed out that some users earn attention and money through trolling. According to Salman, such users can benefit from interactions generated by negative comments aimed at public figures.

His comments came after a discussion around an argument between contestants Scout OP and Arishfa Khan, who had taken digs at each other’s professions. Salman used the incident to broaden the conversation to celebrity trolling and the impact of online criticism.

In defending Katrina, Salman highlighted how celebrities are frequently subjected to personal comments on social media. His remarks also brought attention to the scrutiny women can face over changes in their appearance after pregnancy.

The episode turned the spotlight from the contestants’ dispute to a wider discussion about responsible online behaviour and the way social-media engagement can encourage personal attacks.
