This weekend’s episode of Bigg Boss 19 promises to be intense as family members face some tough evaluations. In recent weeks, host Salman Khan’s scolding has taken a toll on contestant Mridul Tiwari, leaving him emotionally shaken. The viewers, witnessing Mridul’s distress, expressed their frustration on social media, directing their anger towards Salman Khan.
Entertainment Desk, New Delhi. The upcoming weekend is shaping up to be particularly challenging for the contestants. Following a dramatic confrontation between Amal Malik and Abhishek Bajaj in the Friday episode, along with Ashnoor’s refusal to participate in tasks, the atmosphere in the house is charged with tension.
During the recent Weekend Ka Vaar segment, Mridul Tiwari found himself under fire from Salman Khan. The host’s harsh words struck a nerve, causing Mridul to break down in tears. Many viewers took to social media to criticize Salman, accusing him of being unfairly harsh toward Mridul while favoring other contestants.
Why Salman Khan Scolded Mridul
When Mridul appeared on stage, he attempted to express himself in front of both Shahbaz and Salman. However, after six weeks in the competition, viewers felt that Mridul’s gameplay was still not evident. Salman Khan did not hold back during the sixth weekend episode, telling Mridul, “You seem to be misunderstanding this game. You haven’t taken a stand on anything yet.”
Salman went on to express his frustration, saying, “I was almost going to send you back to the bedroom today because your presence is hardly felt. Why should we see you during the Weekend Ka Vaar?” This direct confrontation led Mridul to tears, prompting him to plead with Salman, “Brother, I haven’t had a fight with anyone until now.” Salman retorted, “Who said you can only be visible by arguing?”

Audience Outrage Over Salman’s Remarks
Following Salman’s comments, fans took to social media to voice their displeasure. One user remarked, “This show seems to favor Amal and Shahbaz, as the spotlight is solely on them, while Mridul and Gaurav are doing commendable work.” Another user expressed sympathy for Mridul’s straightforward approach, stating, “Mridul is too honest for this game; I genuinely feel bad for him.”
Additional viewers criticized the perceived bias of the show, with one user claiming, “It seems like the producers and Salman are promoting their favorites while sidelining others.” Another commentator questioned, “Why do you insist on painting every good person as a villain?” This backlash reflects a growing concern among the audience regarding fairness in the competition.
