Bigg Boss 19: Salman Khan breaks silence on favoritism rumors: I’ve bashed Amaal the most

Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 19 continues to keep audiences glued to their screens with its mix of emotions, drama, and confrontations. The show’s weekend episodes — Weekend Ka Vaar — are always highly anticipated, as Salman interacts with the housemates, addresses their behavior, and shares his candid opinions. This week’s episode was no different, but it came with a twist — the host addressed the growing buzz around alleged favoritism toward contestant Amaal Mallik.

Salman Khan Confronts Favoritism Allegations

During the latest Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan decided to address the rumors head-on. He began by asking the housemates who among them he has been most critical of during the show. Without hesitation, almost everyone took Amaal Mallik’s name.

Responding to that, Salman said, 'Yes, I’ve bashed Amaal the most, but not everything goes on air. Some of the things I’ve said to him are personal — things that I wouldn’t say to anyone else. This doesn’t mean I’m partial towards him.'

With this, Salman made it clear that his criticism of Amaal comes from a place of mentorship rather than favoritism. His remarks highlighted that what viewers see on television is only part of the story — much more happens off-camera that the audience may not be aware of.

Salman Clarifies His Intentions

Salman went on to explain that he has faced similar accusations outside the show too. 'Even outside, people say I am biased towards Amaal or Kunickaa Sadanand. But that’s not true,” he clarified. “My intention has always been to guide, correct, and help contestants improve. I treat everyone based on what they do inside the house, not who they are outside.'

The host’s statement put things in perspective for both the audience and the contestants. His firm yet balanced approach during the discussion reaffirmed why Salman remains one of the most respected reality show hosts in Indian television.

Praise for Other Contestants

Salman also used the opportunity to acknowledge other contestants’ efforts. He mentioned that Abhishek Bajaj has received the most praise so far for his performance, maturity, and approach in the game. He reminded everyone that the contestants are judged based on their actions, aggression, and how they handle pressure — not on personal favoritism or external connections.

With this clarification, Salman Khan once again proved his commitment to fairness and integrity in Bigg Boss 19. His transparency not only silenced ongoing rumors but also reinforced the audience’s faith in the show’s credibility, setting the stage for even more dramatic and honest moments ahead.
