Salman Khan has spoken out against online trolling, body-shaming and age-shaming during Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar, after recent criticism aimed at Katrina Kaif over her post-pregnancy appearance.
The controversy has now taken another turn. Pakistani radio jockey Dr Ejaz Waris, who faced backlash over remarks about Katrina, has publicly apologized to the actress and Salman Khan.
The issue has brought renewed attention to celebrity trolling, social-media comments and the pressure placed on public figures over their appearance.
Salman Khan Calls Out Online Trolling
During the latest Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan addressed the growing culture of online trolling.
He spoke about celebrities being targeted over their age, weight, appearance, careers and personal lives. Salman also discussed how some people use social media to make money by putting others down.
The conversation became particularly relevant because of the recent criticism directed at Katrina Kaif after her appearance at a Ganpati celebration in Mumbai.
Salman Khan Defends Katrina Kaif Amid Body-Shaming
While discussing the way women are treated after pregnancy, Salman Khan criticized people who comment on changes in a woman’s body.
Reports from the episode connected his remarks directly to the online trolling Katrina Kaif had faced over her post-pregnancy appearance.
Salman argued that gaining weight after pregnancy is normal and questioned why women should be expected to immediately return to a particular appearance.
He also said that Katrina should have the freedom to spend time with her family and return to work when she is ready.
Why Katrina Kaif Became Part of the Conversation
Katrina Kaif had recently attracted online attention after appearing at an Ambani family Ganpati celebration.
Some social-media users commented on her appearance and weight, leading to criticism of the body-shaming directed at her.
Salman’s comments on Bigg Boss 20 came amid that discussion. Although much of his criticism was framed around the wider issue of trolling and the treatment of women after pregnancy, reports connected his remarks to the criticism faced by Katrina.

The story developed further on September 21 when Pakistani RJ Dr Ejaz Waris apologized to Katrina Kaif.

The apology came after the controversy surrounding his comments about Katrina’s post-pregnancy appearance.
The Indian Express also reported that the RJ apologized after Salman addressed the remarks during Bigg Boss 20.
Salman Also Talks About His Own Trolling
The episode was not only about Katrina Kaif.

The moment quickly became one of the most discussed parts of the episode.
Salman Khan Questions Paparazzi Culture
The actor also spoke about the way paparazzi photograph celebrities, particularly women.
He criticized the practice of taking uncomfortable or inappropriate photographs and argued that celebrities should be treated with respect.
The discussion extended beyond actors, with Salman pointing out that personal boundaries should be respected regardless of whether someone is a celebrity or public figure.
Why the Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif Row Is Trending
The controversy combines several issues that regularly generate discussion on social media: celebrity culture, body-shaming, pregnancy, appearance and paparazzi behaviour.
Salman’s comments gave the discussion a much larger platform through Bigg Boss 20, while the subsequent apology from Ejaz Waris added a new development to the story.
The episode also highlighted how quickly comments made online can turn into a larger public controversy when they involve well-known personalities.
What Happened After Salman Khan’s Comments?
Following the controversy, Ejaz Waris publicly addressed his remarks and apologized to Katrina Kaif.
He also expressed regret to Salman Khan and others who were offended by his comments. Reports said he described the original remarks as something he regretted after reflecting on the reaction they caused.
The apology has now become another part of the wider conversation around Katrina’s recent trolling.
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s Bollywood Connection
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have worked together on several successful Bollywood projects, including Tiger and Bharat.
Their professional association is one reason Salman’s comments about the recent controversy attracted additional attention online.
However, the current discussion is primarily about the broader issue of online trolling and comments about appearance rather than their past films together.
QuickBuzzr Take
The Salman Khan controversy has moved beyond a single Bigg Boss 20 episode.
His comments brought attention to body-shaming, age-shaming and the treatment of celebrities online, while the subsequent apology from Ejaz Waris has added another development to the story.
The episode also raises a broader question about how much personal criticism public figures should be expected to accept simply because their lives are visible to the public.
