Bigg Boss 20: Salman Khan Slams Bullying of Qazi Touqeer

Weekend Ka Vaar is the one place where Bigg Boss 20 contestants expect a grilling, but the latest episode turned into a full intervention. Salman Khan pulled up Scout OP and Yung DSA over their behaviour towards Qazi Touqeer, who had been down with dengue and was still unwell.

For fans who missed the previous week, Qazi’s illness had already become a talking point. He continued performing despite being unwell, which put pressure on the house to balance entertainment with basic care. Weekend Ka Vaar is the designated moment for the host to reset that balance.

The confrontation

Salman was direct. He said Scout and Yung went after Qazi like bullies, and that Qazi’s retaliation was also avoidable. He added that there seemed to be a bullying gang inside the house. That is a strong charge in a format where group dynamics decide who gets nominated and who survives.

The meal moment drew separate fire. Scout stopped Luv Gill from taking food to Qazi and served it himself. Salman read it as a move that would look nice on TV, and called the gesture uncouth and heartless. He also said even people in jail are served food properly.

The episode also referenced threats about what could happen outside the house, which Salman treated as part of the same pattern.

Qazi’s emotional week

Qazi became emotional while explaining that he had hidden his pain because he wanted to entertain the audience. Doctors asked if his joints and back hurt, and he said no, even though he was in a lot of pain. In a house where every reaction becomes content, that admission matters.

Salman’s own fever memory

To make the point stick, Salman shared that he once had Covid and dengue together during a film shoot and felt like ten men were beating him. His message to the house was simple: next time someone is ill, show empathy.

Why it lands with the audience

This is not the first time Bigg Boss contestants have been accused of using someone’s illness as content. When the host names names on stage, it tells both the house and the viewers that medical boundaries are off-limits for gameplay. Salman also reminded the house that the doctors are not mad for repeatedly calling Qazi to the medical room.

• Scout OP and Yung DSA were pulled up for questioning Qazi’s illness and threatening him outside the show.
• Scout was separately criticised for turning Qazi’s meal into a camera-friendly gesture.
• Both later apologised to Qazi, but the audience will now track the group’s next move.

The bigger question now is how the house responds when the cameras are off. In Bigg Boss, an apology on a weekend stage is often followed by the same alliances forming again. Qazi’s recovery and whether he is genuinely left alone will tell fans more than any single statement.

What to watch next

The apology is only the first step. The real test is whether Qazi gets the space to recover and whether the house treats it as a health issue, not a tactic. Bigg Boss 20 fans will be watching the Weekend Ka Vaar fallout closely.
