Pakistani radio jockey and social media personality Dr Ejaz Waris has apologised to Katrina Kaif following criticism over remarks he made about the actress’s post-pregnancy appearance. Waris addressed the controversy through a video shared on social media and said he regretted his comments.
The apology came shortly after Salman Khan discussed the trolling faced by Katrina during an episode of Bigg Boss 20. Salman criticised people who target women over changes in their appearance after pregnancy and questioned why someone should be trolled for gaining weight after becoming a mother.
Ejaz Waris Says Sorry to Katrina Kaif
Ejaz Waris shared a video apologising directly to Katrina Kaif. He said he had reflected on his earlier remarks after watching Salman Khan discuss the controversy on Bigg Boss.
In his apology, Waris said that his words may have hurt Katrina and her fans. He also apologised to Salman and others who were offended by his comments.
The RJ maintained that body-shaming was not his intention but acknowledged that his words had caused hurt.
Why Did Ejaz Waris Apologise?
The controversy began after Katrina Kaif attended the Ambani family’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai with her husband Vicky Kaushal. Videos and photographs from the event circulated widely online, after which several social media users commented on the actress’s post-pregnancy appearance.
Waris was among those who made comments about Katrina’s weight. His remarks subsequently attracted criticism, with users questioning the decision to comment on the actress’s body after she had recently become a mother.
According to reports, the backlash intensified after Salman Khan addressed the issue on Bigg Boss 20.
Salman Khan Defends Katrina During Bigg Boss 20
During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan spoke about the online trolling directed at Katrina. Without focusing solely on one individual, he questioned why people target women who gain weight after pregnancy.
Salman pointed out that weight gain during and after pregnancy is normal and suggested that Katrina would return to fitness when she returned to work. He also said that she should be allowed to spend time with her family.
His comments were widely reported as a response to the trolling Katrina had faced following her recent public appearance.
Ejaz Waris Says He Was Only Making a Joke
In his apology video, Waris explained that he had made the remarks casually while creating content for social media.
He said that he had made what he described as a joke for the “hook” of his video and did not expect his words to hurt so many people. After seeing Salman’s comments on Bigg Boss, he said he realised that he should not have made those remarks.
Waris also said that he is a fan of both Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. He expressed regret over the way his comments were interpreted and acknowledged that the remarks had upset people.
Waris Apologises to Salman Khan Too
The apology was not limited to Katrina Kaif. Ejaz Waris also addressed Salman Khan directly and apologised to him for the comments.
He said that after watching the Bigg Boss segment in which Salman discussed the matter, he reconsidered what he had said. Waris explained that he felt his words had crossed a line and wanted to publicly acknowledge his mistake.
He also apologised to viewers and others who felt hurt or offended by the comments.
Katrina Kaif Has Not Responded Publicly
Katrina Kaif has not been reported to have issued a direct response to Waris’s apology. The controversy has largely played out through social media, with Waris explaining his remarks and Salman addressing the broader issue of trolling.
The situation has once again brought attention to the scrutiny female celebrities can face over their appearance, particularly after pregnancy.
Katrina and Vicky Kaushal welcomed their son Vihaan in November 2025. Her recent public appearance therefore came several months after she became a mother.
Social Media Trolling Sparks Debate
The controversy has generated discussion around the way celebrities are treated online. Public figures frequently face comments about their appearance, but post-pregnancy body changes have become a particularly sensitive subject.
In Katrina’s case, the discussion grew after images from the Ganesh Chaturthi celebration circulated online. Waris’s comments added to the conversation before he later apologised.
His statement that he did not intend to body-shame Katrina does not change the fact that he acknowledged the impact of his words and expressed regret for making them.
Salman and Katrina’s Professional Connection
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have worked together on several successful films, including Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai and Bharat. Their professional association has also made Salman’s recent comments about Katrina particularly noticeable among Bollywood audiences.
While Salman did not need to name Katrina throughout his remarks, reports connected his comments to the trolling she had faced after her public appearance.
The discussion subsequently became part of the wider conversation surrounding Waris’s apology.
Ejaz Waris Calls Katrina a Superstar
In his apology, Waris also praised Katrina Kaif and referred to her as a major star. He reiterated that he respects both Katrina and Salman and said that he regretted allowing a casual remark to become a source of hurt.
He also explained that he had been carrying a sense of guilt after receiving criticism for the original comments.
Waris later disabled comments on his apology post, according to reports.
What Happens Next?
The Ejaz Waris Katrina Kaif controversy has now shifted towards his public apology. Waris has accepted that his remarks were hurtful and said that he regrets making them, while Katrina has not publicly addressed the apology in the reports reviewed.
The episode also highlights how quickly celebrity-related comments can spread across social media and lead to wider discussions involving other public figures.
For now, Waris has apologised to Katrina, Salman and viewers, saying that he understands why his remarks caused offence. The incident has once again placed the focus on online commentary surrounding celebrity appearances and the treatment of women after pregnancy.
