In a pointed Weekend Ka Vaar segment, Salman Khan gave contestant Shehbaz a sharp reality check, calling out his gameplay and alleged manipulation of housemates for personal gain.
Salman began by stating, “Bigg Boss rishton ka show hai, toh Shehbaz ne actually sab ke saath rishte banaye hai, aur vo rishte apne convenient ke hisaab se use kar lete hai.” He pointed out that while Shehbaz often refers to Malti as a friend, his actions during tasks suggest otherwise.
Highlighting a specific pattern, Salman said, “Jab Malti task kar rahi hoti hai, toh Shehbaz dosti side mein rakh dete hai, aur sirf episode mein dikhne ke liye Malti ko irritate karte hai.” He went on to say, “Time aane par aap conveniently use karenge, aur log khushi khushi use ho bhi jaayenge… kyunki mazaak k aad mein, aap ye sab bohot hi smoothly kar lete hai.”
Turning to the rest of the housemates, Salman urged them to reflect on their own responses to Shehbaz’s tactics. He said, “Aur aap log kab tak iske jhaase mein aate rahenge and apna screen time khote rahenge, ye main aap logo par hi chhodta hu.”
Salman then took a moment to praise Amaal, Ashnoor, Abhishek, and Pranit for showing the courage to hold their friends accountable. “At least in log mein itna guts hai ki jab unka dost galat hota hai, toh ye log usse bol dete hai,” he said. In contrast, he pointed out that Shehbaz never calls out his friends, questioning his silence during the Ration Task when Malti made a mistake.
Salman’s remarks left Shehbaz visibly introspective, as the host laid bare a recurring theme in his gameplay—using bonds for convenience, while avoiding tough conversations when they matter the most.
The episode served as a wake-up call not only for Shehbaz, but also for the rest of the housemates, highlighting the fine line between strategy and manipulation in the game.
