Bigg Boss 18: In His Own Words, Salman Khan On Not Wanting To Be On Set Amid Death Threats

In the Weekend Ka Vaar dramatic episode, host Salman Khan made his return to Bigg Boss 18 just days after the tragic death of his close friend, NCP leader Baba Siddique, who was shot dead. On the latest episode of the reality show, Salman expressed that he didn't want to be back. He explained that his presence on the show was due to work commitments, adding that he wasn't in the mood to meet anyone.

During the show, Salman spoke to Bigg Boss contestant Shilpa Shirodkar who stopped eating food after being upset with Avinash Mishra.

In his dialogue with Shilpa Shirodkar, Salman Khan delved into the complexities of bringing personal feelings into the competitive environment of the game. He emphasized how Shilpa’s visible distress could impact her family members, including her sister Namrata Shirodkar and her niece. Salman subtly defended Avinash Mishra, suggesting that the accusations against him could have a deeper effect on Avinash's family, recalling his own experiences with societal rumors. Salman's advice to all participants was to think carefully about their interactions, urging them to consider the repercussions of their words and actions on others.

Salman Khan's interaction with Arfeen Khan took a different turn, as Arfeen found himself at odds with Salman over a disagreement involving Avinash Mishra. Despite Salman's attempts to maintain a calm demeanor, Arfeen was not willing to engage in a constructive dialogue. The host challenged Arfeen's views on the authenticity of the show and the roles of the actors within it, which led to confusion among the housemates regarding Arfeen's profession and intentions. Arfeen's stance that he couldn't pass judgments on actors because of his profession sparked further debate about his understanding of the game and his place within it.

The tensions escalated when Sara Arfeen Khan became visibly upset over Salman's confrontations with her husband and the perceived empowerment of Avinash. Despite her frustration, she chose not to voice her concerns directly to Salman, raising questions about the couple's role as mind coaches. Salman humorously suggested that Arfeen might benefit from changing his coaching approach, lightening the mood amidst the drama.

Wrapping up the episode, Salman Khan teased the audience with news of upcoming guests Vicky Jain and Ankita Lokhande, familiar faces from Bigg Boss 17, setting the stage for an exciting follow-up. Fans eager to catch the next installment of Bigg Boss 18 can tune into Jio Cinema through OTTplay Premium, with the show scheduled to stream at 9.30 pm.
