Bollywood actor Salman Khan has dismissed concerns about his health after appearing unwell during an episode of Bigg Boss 20.
During the Weekend Ka Vaar segment, Salman was seen holding his chest, struggling to speak and later lying on the stage while asking for medical assistance.
The scene raised concern among viewers, with many fans expressing worry on social media.
Salman later addressed the concerns in an Instagram Story, saying, “Nothing is wrong with my health by the grace of God.”
He also criticised the way the show’s promotional footage was edited, saying it gave viewers a misleading impression about what had happened.
Salman explained that he had pretended to experience pain to make a point to contestant Qazi, who had been using his health as entertainment.
“It totally beats the purpose and looks like I am doing the same thing that Qazi was doing in the house,” Salman wrote.
He said his actions were meant to show Qazi that using his health for entertainment was wrong, particularly because the other contestants did not know he was acting and had become concerned about him.
Salman added that the promotional material did not explain the actual purpose of the sequence.
During the episode, Salman also addressed online trolling targeting actors, particularly female artists, over their appearance.
He responded to speculation about his health and appearance by removing his hat and T-shirt on stage and inviting viewers to continue trolling him.
“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,” he said.
Salman is also set to appear in director Apoorva Lakhia’s upcoming film Maatrubhumi. The film’s release date has not yet been announced.
