Salman Khan’s comment on conflicts during Bigg Boss 19’s Weekend Ka War episode went viral after viewers linked it to former US president Donald Trump. The actor, while addressing fights in the house, questioned why those responsible for creating unrest seek recognition for peace.

The episode featured a confrontation between contestants Farrhana Bhatt and Neelam Giri, who have been involved in frequent disputes. Farrhana, who described herself as a “peace activist,” faced criticism from Khan for her behaviour in the house. He asked if she appeared like a peace activist in any way.

Calling her out, he said her ego was too large and questioned her remarks against fellow contestant Neelam. According to News 18 Showsha, Khan asked, “Neelam kyu deserve karti hain ‘2 kaudi ki’ kehlana? You are a woman. And you are saying these things about a woman?”

Expanding on the issue, Khan remarked on how some people cause widespread trouble yet seek to be recognised as peacemakers. He said, “Ye kya ho raha hai poori duniya me. Jo sabsey zyada trouble fyaila rahey hain, unhi ko peace prize chahiye.”

Social media users connected this statement to Donald Trump, who has previously expressed his wish to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in attempting to ease tensions between India and Pakistan.

The controversy began when Farrhana intervened in a disagreement between Neelam and Zeeshan Quadri. During the exchange, she called Neelam “2 kaudi ki aurat” (a woman of two pennies), which left Neelam in tears. The remark triggered criticism from Khan and discussions among viewers online.
