Did anyone else feel this?

I feel like salman didn’t really like Vishal...he kept throwing insults at him and gave a cold vibe

Exactly...he kept calling him badtameez when actually the most badtameez man is INSIDE the house right now, who was treated like he's some devta this week. You can't call Vishal "badtameez" on the basis of a scripted dance show. His introduction was done in such bad taste.

He brought him back to NB and definitely it is on his recommendation that Vishal is a wild card entry

In what way Salman knows Shukla so well, uska beta toh nahi hai

Salman produced Nach Baliye and probably had a say in Vishal's entry here.

Salman always treats men younger than him with a certain disdain or insecurity initially and then later he either warms up to some of them or picks on them.

Never have we seen Salman be nice to men in the beginning. That side of him is only reserved for PYTs.
