The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19 saw Salman Khan taking a strong stand against contestant Shehbaaz for invoking late actor Sidharth Shukla ’s name in the house to gain support and votes. The host firmly reminded Shehbaaz that Sidharth’s legacy was built on merit, not association, and that using his name for attention was inappropriate.

Addressing him directly, Salman said, “I want to tell you that whatever Sidharth has done in the show, he has done it on his own. He has not taken anyone’s name. And your game is not even 1% of his game. Do you think that Sidharth Shukla’s fans, whose game is not even 1% of his game, will support you?”

The actor continued, questioning Shehbaaz’s misplaced confidence. “God bless his soul. Do you really think if Sidharth himself were here, he would have supported you, the way you are playing the game? You also said that you know me personally. I have heard you say that. When did this happen?”

Shehbaaz admitted his mistake, saying, “Sir, I made a mistake yesterday.” Salman responded firmly yet patiently, “Yes, that’s why I am telling you. If you are giving an impression, then I am nullifying that. I am telling you that I have met you once or twice in my life. I have met you in a good way. I think I met you during the shooting. I’ve only met you once or twice.”

Offering some constructive advice, Salman added, “Now tell me, what is your strong point? You are funny. You have good humor. Use it correctly. Don’t go below the belt. Your funny moments are very funny. And I told you not to irritate. Don’t go below the belt. I didn’t say that you should give up comedy.”

Visibly embarrassed, Shehbaaz accepted Salman’s advice and replied humbly, “Sir, you are saying it right. I won’t do it again, sir.” The exchange served as a reminder that respect, authenticity, and dignity matter far more than name-dropping or controversy in the Bigg Boss house.
