'Bigg Boss 19': Did Salman really cuss out Tanya Mittal?
What's the story
A recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19 featuring host Salman Khan has sparked controversy. In a now-viral clip, the actor is seen making a joke with contestant Tanya Mittal that many have deemed distasteful. The incident has led to an uproar among fans and viewers alike. The video was shared by viewers across social media platforms like X/Twitter and Instagram. Here's what happened.
Controversial remark
What exactly did Khan say to Mittal
In the clip, Mittal is seen standing with a clay pot as Khan jokingly asks her if she also makes pots. She replies, "Haan sir, ab jake sab banaungi." The actor then says, "Haa itna *beeped* bana chuki ho." This muted expression has triggered speculation among viewers about what he said. The caption of the video reads, "Yeh kya bol diya bhai ne? RIP family show." It has since garnered a lot of views and over one lakh likes.
Mixed reactions
'You can see how frustrated he was with Tanya'
The muted segment has sparked a debate among fans. While some users found the moment funny, others criticized the alleged remark as "distasteful." One user wrote, "Salman Khan is back in his original form," while another commented, "You can see how frustrated he was with Tanya." However, some viewers questioned how such comments could be allowed on a family show. Notably, Mittal has made headlines this season for apparently lying about her age and family background.
House drama
Tensions flare between Amaal, Farhana, and Mittal
Amid the controversy, tensions also flared inside the Bigg Boss house between Amaal Mallik, Farhana Bhatt, and Mittal. Bhatt confronted Mittal about her alleged closeness with Mallik.
