As Bigg Boss 19 continues to dominate television screens and social media feeds, the latest controversy isn’t about the contestants — but rather about the show’s long-time host, Salman Khan.

Following the recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode, where Salman was seen joking and gifting a miniature kitchen set to contestant Kunickaa Sadanand, several users on social media — particularly X, formerly known as Twitter — have begun accusing the host of favoritism.

Many viewers claim that Salman has been consistently soft on Kunickaa, often turning her actions into light-hearted moments while being more critical of others for similar behavior.

A tweet that gained significant traction read, “Salman khan is clearly biased for Kunicka ,he is Praising her for giving food to everyone but Salman can’t say a word to her on not giving food to abhishek ? Also i agree ki nehal fake fight karti h but Kunicka is rude too 🙏 salman bolra h ki Kunicka ke saath kaam kiya h ….So what ? Wo kuch bhi kar skti h ?

Another user wrote, “First Pooja Bhatt and now Kunickaa, This season #SalmanKhan will always take side of kunickaa bcz of makers..  That’s why He bashed #AbhishekBajaj.”

The criticism stems not only from the gift segment but also from previous episodes where Kunickaa was seen involved in kitchen-related disputes and small verbal spats — moments which, according to fans, were either brushed off or humorized by the host.

While Salman has always maintained a strong presence and connection with the audience, this isn’t the first time fans have called out perceived partiality during Bigg Boss seasons. However, the reactions this time appear louder, with some even demanding more balanced hosting.
