'Nothing's wrong': Salman apologizes after 'BB' promo sparks health concerns
What's the story
The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 20 was filled with drama and intense discussions on trolling. However, toward the end, a promo showing host Salman Khan clutching his chest in apparent pain left contestants and fans worried. Later, the Bollywood superstar took to social media to clarify that it was all part of a prank aimed at teaching contestant Qazi Touqeer a lesson.
Prank revealed
What did Touqeer do?
A source close to the show told SCREEN that Touqeer had been playing a "secret game" inside the Bigg Boss house.
The source said, "In an earlier episode, he told the housemates that he is unwell and even claimed to have multiple personality disorder."
"But when Bigg Boss called him into the in-house doctor's room for a check-up, Qazi revealed that he is actually pulling a prank on the other contestants."

The source further added, "Now, the same idea has been turned back on Qazi. During Saturday's Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan appeared to hold his chest and feel uneasy, leaving everyone wondering if something was wrong."
"But it was all part of a prank, seemingly designed to make Qazi realize that joking about someone's health can have a very different impact when the tables are turned."
