Bigg Boss 19: Salman Khan questions Mridul Tiwari's inactiveness, calls him 'PLUS ONE CATEOGORY'

As the weekend approaches, so does the much-anticipated Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss. The promo for tonight’s episode has already stirred up discussion online, with Salman Khan seen calling out contestant Mridul Tiwari for his lack of presence and activity in the house.

In the promo, Salman directly addresses Mridul and questions his passive game play. He says, “Mridul, aap hamesha kisi ki chhaya mein chal rahe ho. Plus one ki category mein nazar aa rahe ho aap.” The statement clearly points to Mridul being perceived as someone who is tagging along with others instead of playing individually.

Salman then turns the focus to Mridul’s social media influence. Asking about his follower count, Salman says, “Kitne followers hain aap ke?” Mridul responds, “35 million.” However, instead of being impressed, Salman delivers a sharp remark:
“Toh aapko aisa lagta hai ke kuch kaam karu ya na karu, itne votes toh aa hi jaayenge?”
He then adds, “Nahi dega koi. Aap yahan par jab dikhayi nahi de rahe ho, toh aapke followers waqt aane par definitely haath khada kar denge.”

Mridul, aap hamesha kisi ki chhaya mein chal rahe ho. Plus one ki category mein nazar aa rahe ho aap.

The promo suggests that Salman is not holding back this weekend, especially when it comes to contestants who are not actively participating or showing individuality. His comments to Mridul seem to reflect a broader concern often seen in the Bigg Boss house — that some contestants may be relying on their outside popularity rather than playing the game inside the house.

As fans await the full episode, this promo has already sparked reactions on social media, with viewers curious to see how Mridul responds to the criticism and whether this moment will push him to take a more visible stand in the house.

The full Weekend Ka Vaar episode airs tonight and is expected to bring more reality checks and dramatic turns.
