Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar: Last week, Bigg Boss Season 19 host Salman Khan faced massive backlash on social media after he defended Amaal Mallik while reprimanding other contestants over relatively minor issues. Following the criticism, Salman has now responded to the allegations of being biased toward Amaal.
In the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19, he said, “The audience doesn’t understand what is happening inside the house. They end up missing out on a few things, and then they rant about it on social media.” He later asked the contestants, “From the time I have been here on this show, tell me one person whom I have been pulling up from the beginning.” Everyone said it was Amaal Mallik.

Salman Khan later went on to add, “Initially, Amaal did a few things that got him into trouble with me, whether it was sleeping or using foul language. Last to last weekend, he was schooled on a bigger level, but outside people don’t see this. Just because I know Amaal from the beginning, I am accused of being biased. The extreme things that I have told him, I have never said those to anyone on Bigg Boss ever. But there are some people outside who think I have been very partial to Amaal. I have known Kunickaa also. We are of the same age. I have worked with her a lot, and when she was going wrong at one point in time, I called her out. This is what I have come here to do; my job is to guide you if you are going wrong. This show is such, if you do something, you land in trouble, and if you don’t, you land in trouble. Abhishek has been praised the most on the show.”

Another highlight of the latest episode was when host Salman Khan exposed Tanya Mittal’s game in front of everyone. He called out the contradictions in her claims about being successful. Salman also remarked that Tanya has been playing mind games since day one. “Tanya, you have been the most affected by Malti’s entry, and this is going against you. Malti gave you feedback when you asked for it, and it unfortunately wasn’t something you wanted to hear. If people think you are lying, let it be. People are showing somebody else’s house and saying you live there; all these things would happen. Even with me, while hosting this show, people give feedback like I am partial, or I shouldn’t have done something for a long time,” Salman said.
He added, “When people meet your family or neighbors, they might confirm or deny your claims. Tanya, you have told different things to different people. You have roamed the entire country, without your parents, and you have set up so many successful businesses, going against their wishes. Your life has been full of struggles, Tanya. You are playing this game with your mind. You were prepared to be pushed in the pool, so why cry? We have noticed there are too many contradictions in what you say. You talk so much about your success, and the contradictions are clearly seen. I don’t even want to get into the ones that are noticed outside.”
“We can say you have understood this game since day one, and you have been clear about your friends and enemies on the show. You have known when to expose people and befriend someone or even throw them under the bus; you have done all of it. What the audience does not understand is why you need a sympathy card all the time. That day, four others were also pushed into the pool, but no one reacted the way you did,” the host concluded.
