In the wake of the tragic murder of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique, prominent Bollywood actor and host Salman Khan made the decision to halt production on his widely watched reality show, Bigg Boss 18. The shocking incident not only gripped the nation but also placed Salman in a precarious position, as he has since been the target of ongoing death threats from the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Despite the palpable tension and threat to his safety, Salman has displayed remarkable resilience by resuming filming, having recently completed the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, the promotional material for which has been released.
The promo offers a glimpse into the host's confrontational yet insightful approach. In a particularly striking segment, Salman takes NCP contestant Rajat Dalal to task for his alarming assertion that "women are not safe." With a piercing gaze, Salman questions, "What impact does such a serious accusation have on a family? People must tell your family that their son makes women feel unsafe." This deeply personal engagement reflects Salman’s understanding of how such serious allegations can resonate within families, as he shares his own experiences with similar accusations.
The episode continues to build in intensity as Salman directs his ire towards fellow contestant Arfeen Khan. He challenges Arfeen’s unwillingness to engage in active listening, asking pointedly, "In your profession, aren't you taught to listen to others?" When Arfeen responds in the negative, Salman’s frustration is palpable. He retorts, "If you're not taught that, then what exactly do you do? You don't let anyone speak—so how will you ever learn about them?" He further critiques Arfeen's apparent detachment from reality, insisting, "You need to step down to our level, to the ground. You're sitting in the clouds as if you only communicate with God. You all think you're scholars, while we're fools—and I count myself among them."
In an additional development, it is noteworthy that the first eviction of Bigg Boss 18 has already transpired, with contestant Hema Sharma eliminated from the competition. This early dismissal adds a layer of intrigue to the show, setting the stage for the drama that lies ahead as the remaining contestants navigate the complexities of the reality series amidst an atmosphere of heightened tension and public scrutiny.
