Superstar Salman Khan turned the Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar stage into a personal arena of counter-attack, using his candid chat with comedian Ravi Gupta to take sharp, unprecedented digs at director Abhinav Kashyap and filmmaker AR Murugadoss. In an episode that instantly became a viral talking point, Salman also unexpectedly broke a decade of silence, confirming his truce with singer Arijit Singh.
The host, known for his unfiltered style, made it clear that he was responding to the recent stream of critical statements and accusations made against him and his work by both filmmakers.
Salman Khan Fires Back at Abhinav Kashyap: ‘Kaam Mila Kya Bhai?’
Addressing the ongoing public feud with Abhinav Kashyap, who directed Dabangg, Salman delivered a pointed warning while advising the filmmaker to refocus on his career and family life.
“You ruined your own image. Instead of attacking families, focus on your own, love your brother, take care of your parents and kids,” Salman asserted. He expressed deep disappointment that a talented writer had chosen a path of controversy over creativity, stating that Kashyap’s negative statements against top stars like himself, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan were harming his own prospects.
Salman concluded his critique with a now-viral, direct question, sarcastically asking about the director’s employment status: “Kaam mila kya bhai?” (Did you get any work, brother?). He urged Kashyap to abandon the path of controversy and return to his craft.
Mocking Murugadoss’s ‘Madharaasi’ Failure
Shifting gears, Salman addressed the failure of his last film, Sikandar, and the comments made by its director, AR Murugadoss, which reportedly suggested Salman’s late arrival on set caused issues.
Salman defended himself, revealing a personal health struggle to counter the accusation of unprofessionalism. He stated, “Main set pe raat ke 9 baje pahuchta tha, meri pasaliyan tooti thi (I used to reach the set at 9 PM, but my ribs were fractured).”
He then took a playful yet pointed jab at Murugadoss’s latest Tamil release, Madharaasi, which also struggled to impress audiences, highlighting what he saw as a double standard. “Hamare director sahab bolte the aisa, lekin unki picture jo abhi release hui hai, uske actor to 6 baje pahuchte the.” (Our director used to say that, but the actor in his recently released film used to reach at 6).
In a final sarcastic flourish, Salman remarked that both producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Murugadoss had distanced themselves from Sikandar after its box-office failure, before referring to Madharaasi as a “bigger blockbuster than Sikandar,” with a clear tone of mockery directed at its poor box-office performance.
Arijit Singh Truce Confirmed for ‘Galwan’ Film
In a moment of genuine and heartening clarity, Salman Khan finally spoke about his decade-long rift with singer Arijit Singh, confirming that the misunderstanding is completely resolved.
He acknowledged that the core of the feud stemmed from a misunderstanding from his side, putting the decade-long cold war to rest. The superstar also announced his renewed professional collaboration with the celebrated singer. He confirmed Arijit Singh is singing a song in his upcoming film, Galwan, cementing the end of one of Bollywood’s most talked-about feuds.
The dramatic Weekend Ka Vaar episode provided unfiltered entertainment and a rare glimpse into Salman Khan’s perspective on his industry relationships, dominating all social media and news trends following its broadcast.
