The latest episode of Weekend Ka Vaar turned tense when Mridul drew the ire of host Salman Khan after expressing discomfort with a task assigned by the host himself.

In the task, contestants were asked to name one fellow housemate they believed was more of a “chamcha” (follower) than a true friend. One by one, housemates participated in the activity, but when it came to Mridul’s turn, he offered a comment that did not sit well with Salman.

Mridul said, “Mujhe toh bada dukh ho raha hai, ye chiz kehte hue ki aaj dosti mein jo log saath rehte hai, unme se kisi ek ko chamcha bolna hai… mere liye toh badi ajeeb baat hai.”

The statement visibly irked Salman, who promptly interrupted him, saying sharply, “Baith jao, baith jao.”

As Mridul turned to return to his seat, Salman, now in a stricter tone, addressed him again, “Task ke baare mein aap se rai nahi puchhi humne. Humne ye puccha hai ki kon follower dikhta hai.” Mridul was left visibly stunned by the host’s reaction.

Salman went on to explain that the task was not intended to question friendships but to serve as a wake-up call to reflect on who in the house appears to be a follower rather than an independent player.

The moment created an uncomfortable atmosphere in the house, highlighting the intensity with which Bigg Boss tasks are expected to be taken — and the consequences of sidestepping direct instructions.
