The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19 wasn’t just another evening of drama and entertainment, it turned into a fiery exchange that got everyone talking. Salman Khan, known for his candid style and sharp wit, finally addressed the controversy involving Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap, who had recently made several explosive comments and allegations about him and his family.
Salman Khan hits back at Abhinav Kashyap's remarks
During a light-hearted interaction with comedian Ravi Gupta on the show, Salman unexpectedly shifted the conversation toward the ongoing controversy. Without directly naming Abhinav at first, he hinted at the filmmaker’s recent remarks and then took a direct jibe that instantly grabbed viewers’ attention.
Salman said that some people in the industry seemed to be “too busy pulling others down instead of focusing on their work.” He followed it up with a question, asking if the person in question had managed to get any work lately. The line, though delivered casually, clearly referred to Abhinav Kashyap and his repeated criticism of Bollywood stars.
The superstar didn’t stop there. He pointed out that Abhinav hadn’t just spoken against him but had also dragged Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan into his statements. Salman expressed disappointment over such behaviour, saying that constantly speaking ill of others would only harm one’s own career. “People who badmouth everyone around them will find it hard to work with anyone,” he said, emphasising how such negativity damages relationships and reputations in the film industry.
In a surprising revelation, Salman also mentioned that his team had once approached Abhinav with a film offer, but the director had turned it down. According to Salman, that refusal and his continued bitterness had cost him valuable opportunities. He added that Abhinav, who was once appreciated for his writing skills, had now “spoiled his own image” with his harsh statements.

The Tiger 3 actor then took a softer tone, offering personal advice to Abhinav. He urged him to focus his energy on his family, to value his parents, care for his wife and children, and rebuild his life instead of targeting others. Salman remarked that real strength comes from taking care of one’s own and staying grounded, not from attacking fellow artists.
At the end, Salman said he bows down every day, not before any person, but before God. The line drew applause from the audience.
For those unaware, Abhinav Kashyap recently made shocking claims in a podcast, alleging that Salman took undue credit for Dabangg and hinting at manipulation and unhealthy behaviour within the industry. Meanwhile, on the work front, Salman is filming for his next Battle Of Galwan.
