Rohit Shetty has publicly shown his support for Salman Khan after the Bollywood superstar addressed online trolling during a recent episode of Bigg Boss 20. Salman’s appearance on the Weekend Ka Vaar episode became a talking point after he spoke at length about the criticism celebrities face over their appearance, age and body.
During the episode, Salman also removed his hat, jacket and T-shirt while responding to people who regularly comment on his appearance. The moment quickly went viral on social media, with several celebrities expressing support for his stand against online trolling.
Rohit Shetty joined the list of celebrities backing Salman. The filmmaker shared a picture from the viral moment on his Instagram account and accompanied it with a short message directed at the trolls.
Rohit Shetty Shares Salman’s Viral Moment
Rohit Shetty shared an image of Salman Khan from the Bigg Boss 20 stage after the actor removed his T-shirt during the episode. Alongside the picture, Rohit wrote, “Dear trollers… it’s done bro.”
The filmmaker’s post quickly attracted attention on social media. According to reports, actors including Arjun Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Varun Dhawan were among those who liked the post.
Rohit’s message came shortly after Salman’s comments on the culture of trolling. The filmmaker and Salman have worked in the same industry for years, and Rohit’s latest social media post adds his voice to the public reactions surrounding the Bigg Boss 20 episode.
Why Salman Khan Took Off His T-Shirt
Salman’s shirtless moment came during a discussion about the way celebrities are targeted on social media. The actor spoke about comments made about his weight, age and appearance and questioned why people feel the need to constantly mock public figures.
He also addressed comments aimed at other actors, including Sohail Khan and Varun Dhawan. Salman made a distinction between expressing genuine concern about someone's appearance and deliberately making fun of them.
At one point, he challenged people who had criticised his body to continue doing so after seeing him without his T-shirt. The moment was presented as a response to the repeated comments he said he receives online.
The contestants in the Bigg Boss house reacted positively to Salman’s comments, while clips from the episode quickly spread across social media.
Salman Also Spoke About Trolling of Actresses
During the same discussion, Salman addressed the treatment of female celebrities by paparazzi and social media users. He criticised what he described as inappropriate photographs and comments directed at actresses.
He also spoke about trolling related to pregnancy and weight gain, saying that people should not mock women for changes in their bodies after pregnancy.
Although Salman did not explicitly name Katrina Kaif while discussing pregnancy-related weight gain, his remarks came amid online comments about the actress’s appearance following her recent public appearances. Several reports interpreted his comments as a defence of Katrina, although Salman himself did not identify her by name during the discussion.
The wider point of his remarks was about the way celebrities are frequently judged based on their physical appearance.
Varun Dhawan and Other Celebrities React
Rohit Shetty was not the only industry personality to react to Salman’s comments. Varun Dhawan also shared a video showing his father and filmmaker David Dhawan watching the Bigg Boss episode.
Other celebrities, including Kunal Kohli and Neha Dhupia, also expressed support for Salman’s comments about online trolling and social media behaviour.
The reactions show how the discussion on Bigg Boss 20 extended beyond the reality show's contestants. Salman’s comments became part of a larger conversation about celebrity culture, social media criticism and the treatment of public figures online.
Former Bigg Boss contestant Monalisa also spoke about her own experiences with body-shaming and age-shaming after watching Salman’s comments.
Monalisa Shares Her Experience
Monalisa, who has previously appeared as a contestant on Bigg Boss, also responded to the discussion. The actress shared her own experience of being targeted by online comments about her age, appearance and personal life.
She spoke about the pressures women face regarding marriage, pregnancy and body image and thanked Salman for raising the issue on the show.
Her comments added another perspective to the conversation, particularly around the way female celebrities are scrutinised for changes in their appearance and personal circumstances.
