Salman Khan says hosts should never ‘cross the line’ and humour shouldn’t be ‘below the belt’

Salman was attending a press conference for IIFA Awards 2022, alongside Maniesh Paul, Ananya Panday and Varun Dhawan. He added, “Whenever I have hosted Bigg Boss and something wrong has happened with one of the contestants that has made me angry or disappointed, I say it out in the show, but I know there’s a limit. End of the day, the contestants are also living in the house and they have to perform, so learn to be patient and sensitive towards them. I don’t cross a line. Whatever I have to say, I say it on the given Saturday and then on Sunday I am all normal. Even the contestants know that no one likes a blabbermouth or a loud mouth. If they blabber too much, it’s not going to help their careers. No one in the film industry wants to work with a blabbermouth.”

Smith slapped Rock at Monday’s Oscars after the comedian made a joke about his wife, actor Jada Pinkett Smith’s appearance. The Academy has said that it will launch an investigation into the matter, and condemned Smith’s actions in a press statement. The actor also issued a public apology to Rock, who has decided not to file charges against him.
