In a dramatic and intense episode of Bigg Boss 19, host Salman Khan delivered a severe reality check to contestant Farrhana Bhat, culminating in a moment that echoed a historic event from the show's past. During the latest Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan did not hold back as he addressed Farrhana's recent negative behaviour and disparaging remarks about the television medium and co-contestant Gaurav Khanna.
The Dramatic Ultimatum
The episode reached its peak when Salman Khan, mirroring his action from Season 10 against Priyanka Jagga, instructed the Bigg Boss gates to be opened for Farrhana. He explicitly told her, "You are more than welcome to leave." This powerful moment underscored his frustration with her conduct, which he described as crossing all lines.
Salman questioned the values behind her actions, stating, "You want to stay in this house and say all kinds of filthy words, is this what you have been taught at home?" He highlighted that she had made extreme personal comments on national television and dragged outside issues into the house.
Defending Television and Gaurav Khanna
A significant portion of Salman's reprimand focused on Farrhana's dismissive attitude towards television, especially after she provoked Gaurav Khanna by questioning his career during a captaincy task. Salman came out in strong support of Gaurav, calling him a "superstar" whose fandom has been built through two decades of hard work.
"If you have not seen Gaurav's show on TV, then you are ignorant," Salman told Farrhana. "Today, he is on the show, and he is extremely popular on TV. I have seen his show, my mother has seen it... He has been working for the last 20 years for 18 hours a day consistently."
Salman also defended the television industry as a whole, listing icons like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, and Madhuri Dixit who are proud of their work on TV. He pointed out the irony of her participation, saying, "You keep saying you don't want to do TV, then what are you doing on this show?"
A Stern Warning and a Reality Check
Beyond the television debate, Salman schooled Farrhana on her general behaviour, including her lack of empathy when fellow contestant Pranit returned after an illness. He expressed his embarrassment that the show was introducing someone with her attitude to the public.
Salman also gave her a stark perspective on the platform Bigg Boss provides. "These 105 days in Bigg Boss give you the kind of exposure that even doing multiple films as a lead might not provide," he explained, questioning her lofty attitude given her brief roles in films like Notebook and Simmba.
He concluded with a final warning, stating that he would not be okay with her unless he saw a significant change in her behaviour, leaving Farrhana with a serious decision to make about her future in the house.
