The internet was sent into a massive frenzy over the weekend after a promotional video for the Bigg Boss 20 ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episode went viral, showing host Salman Khan seemingly suffering a severe medical emergency on stage. Fans of the superstar were left deeply concerned as the video depicted the actor holding his chest in pain, struggling to speak, and eventually lying down on the floor while calling for a doctor.
However, breathing a massive sigh of relief into his fandom, Salman Khan has officially clarified that he is perfectly healthy. The superstar took to his social media to explain the real context behind the dramatic sequence, called out the show’s makers for the misleading edit, and even issued a public apology. Here is the complete breakdown of the controversy and what actually happened on the Bigg Boss 20 stage.
The Viral Promo: A Misleading Edit?
The explosive Bigg Boss 20 promo intended to hype up the Sunday episode ended up causing widespread panic. The clip showed Salman experiencing what looked like genuine physical discomfort, leading to a wave of prayers and worried messages from fans across social media platforms.
Addressing the rapidly spreading rumors about his deteriorating health, Salman Khan took to his Instagram Stories to set the record straight. “Nothing is wrong with my health by the grace of God,” the actor assured his followers.
He expressed his sheer disappointment with the show’s editing team, explaining that the sequence was entirely misunderstood due to a sensationalized promo cut.
Teaching Qazi A Lesson: The Real Context
So, why was Salman Khan acting like he was in pain? The superstar revealed that the entire sequence was a deliberate act meant to teach a stern lesson to Bigg Boss 20 contestant Qazi Touqeer. Earlier in the week, Qazi had allegedly faked a health issue for entertainment purposes, deeply worrying the other 15 unaware housemates.
Salman explained that he recreated the scenario to give Qazi a taste of his own medicine. He wrote, “The Bigg Boss promo should not have been cut like the way it was cut. It totally beats the purpose and looks like I am doing the same thing that Kazi was doing in the house. The pain was only to show Kazi that what he did was wrong because he used his health for entertainment, especially when the 15 people in the house were not aware that he was acting and were getting worried”.
Taking the higher road, the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor even apologized to his fans on behalf of the channel for the unnecessary scare. “Sorry about the way the promo was cut. Guess it’s the format that they use in promoting the shows. I apologise on their behalf,” he concluded.

Addressing the constant negative comments regarding his health, aging, and recent bald look, Salman stunned the audience by taking off his hat and T-shirt right on the stage. Sending a bold and unfiltered message to the haters, he stated, “You guys want to troll me? I will show you. No abs, see my look; you want to troll me now? Go on, troll me”.
