In yet another intense Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19, host Salman Khan once again called out contestant Mridul — marking the third consecutive week the reality star has been criticised for his underwhelming presence in the house.
Addressing Mridul directly, Salman sarcastically taunted him, “Agar kuch kiye bina, aage jaa rahe ho, toh isse better life mein kuch nahi hai.”
He continued with sharp remarks, stating that Mridul is already living a retired life inside the house, “Mridul is already enjoying his retirement life, and has already decided that he won’t work any longer.”
Referring to a past conversation, Salman recalled, “‘Bhaiji, main kya karoon?’ Aapne mujhse puchha tha. Aaj main aapse puchhta hu, ‘aap yaha karne aaye kya ho?’”
Mridul, visibly shaken by the grilling, had no direct response to Salman’s pointed question. Noticing this, Salman raised his voice and asked sternly, “Aapko samajh mein aa raha hai ye khel?”
Trying to explain his side, Mridul replied, “Maine koshish toh bohot ki thi, maine logo ko bola bhi tha ki main jab kuch bolun toh mujhe kaata matt karo.”
He added that every contestant brings their own personality to the game, citing examples, “Abhishek is aggressive and Baseer is flamboyant.”
However, Salman’s criticism continued — until Mridul broke down emotionally. In a choked voice, he said, “Bhaiji, Manveer Gurjar mere bade bhai hai, unhone mujhse bola tu jaisa hai, vaisa rehna.” He added, “Mujhe samajh mein nahi aata main kya karu… main nahi ladaa aaj tak kisise?” Explaining his upbringing, Mridul said that even his elder brothers have taught him never to be disrespectful.
Salman, acknowledging Mridul’s emotional moment, agreed with his values but made it clear that participation in the show requires visibility and voice. He said, while Mridul is right, he still needs to present his point of view effectively.
Revealing his original plan for the episode, Salman disclosed, “I had planned to send you to the bedroom, because I did not want to give you footage even during Weekend Ka Vaar.” However, he chose not to execute it, explaining, “But I didn’t do it because all the housemates praised you.”
The segment left a strong impression, both inside the house and among viewers, as Salman once again reinforced the importance of presence, personality, and participation in the Bigg Boss game.
