Celebrity trolling has become almost routine. A little weight gain, a few extra years, a changed appearance or even a major life event can quickly become material for social media comments. On the latest Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar, <a href="https://comicvibe.com/salman-khan-says-sorry-after-bigg-boss-20-sparks-healtrh-scare-says-nothing-is-wrong-sorry-abt-the-way-the-promo-was-cut/" title="Salman Khan says 'sorry' after Bigg Boss 20 sparks healtrh scare, says 'Nothing is wrong, sorry abt the way the promo was cut'”>Salman Khan decided to confront that habit head-on.
The actor-host spoke about the way celebrities are judged for their bodies, age, personal lives and, increasingly, what happens to their appearance after becoming parents.
‘Moti ho gayi hai’, ‘buddha ho gaya hai’
Salman pointed out how casually people use insulting comments about celebrities.
If a woman gains weight, she can quickly be labelled “Moti ho gayi hai” (She has become fat). If an older actor looks different, the familiar “Buddha ho gaya hai” (He has become old) can follow.
For Salman, these are not simply harmless observations. He questioned why someone’s appearance has become such an easy target for public commentary.
The actor was especially critical of the trolling women face after pregnancy.
Salman questions post-pregnancy body trolling
Salman said pregnancy naturally changes a woman’s body and questioned the expectation that she should immediately look exactly as she did before having a baby.
“Why do you want to troll somebody ki woh pregnant hua?” (Why do you want to troll somebody because they became pregnant?), he asked.
He added that women returning to public life after pregnancy can decide for themselves when and how they want to get fit.
“Jab woh picture mein wapas se aa jayengi, woh fit aa jayengi” (When they come back into the picture, they will be fit again), Salman said.
His point was that pregnancy should not become another reason for strangers to judge a woman’s body.
Then Salman turned the trolling on himself
The conversation soon moved closer to home.
At 60, Salman said he knows that his own appearance will also attract comments about age and looks. He acknowledged that he has turned 60 and pointed out that he cannot look exactly as he did during his Maine Pyaar Kiya days forever.
But instead of simply talking about age-shaming, Salman decided to demonstrate his point.
He removed his cowboy hat, jacket and T-shirt on stage, wiped off his make-up and deliberately presented himself without the polished appearance audiences usually see.
“Bhai mota ho gaya hai! Bhai ko troll karo” (Brother has become fat! Troll brother), he said.
‘You bought a ticket. You didn’t buy us’
Salman also drew a line between criticism and personal attacks.
If viewers dislike his acting or do not enjoy one of his films, he said they are free to say so.
“Say that your work isn’t good, say that you didn’t like this film,” Salman said.
For him, criticism of someone’s work is different from abusing or attacking the person behind it.
He made the distinction even sharper while talking about the relationship between movie audiences and actors.
“You bought a ticket to watch the film. You didn’t buy us,” Salman said.
