Salman Khan Addresses Bigg Boss 20 Favouritism Claims
On Bigg Boss 20, Salman Khan spoke about claims that he treats Qazi Touqeer more kindly than other housemates.
Salman said that was not true.
He pointed to times when he had criticised Qazi.
One example was a disagreement about Qazi’s health scare.
Another was Qazi’s “lollipop” comment about Kanika Mann.
Salman said Qazi kept defending the comment instead of giving a proper apology.
Amrapali Dubey and Love Gill said some contestants might be afraid to challenge Qazi.
They thought those contestants worried Salman would scold them.
The episode discussed whether Qazi was being treated differently in the house.
Salman Khan rejected claims that he favours Qazi Touqeer, asking, “Kya Qazi mera bhai lagta hai?”
He said his earlier criticism of Qazi over a health scare was evidence against favouritism.
Salman also reprimanded Qazi over a “lollipop” comment directed at Kanika Mann.
He criticised Qazi for repeatedly justifying the remark rather than offering a proper apology.
Amrapali Dubey and Love Gill said housemates may hesitate to confront Qazi because they fear Salman will scold them.
