Bigg Boss 20: Salman Khan takes off hat, jacket as he hits back at age, weight trolls

During the latest episode of Bigg Boss 20, host Salman Khan expressed his frustration at online trolls who constantly body-shame and age-shame individuals, particularly women. The actor challenged the trolls to continue mocking him for ageing, even removing his hat, t-shirt and revealing his bare body on camera. Salman, visibly angry, spoke against body-shaming and age-shaming, criticizing those who target women for their post-pregnancy weight.

He defended actor Katrina Kaif, who recently became a target of online trolling for her postpartum weight gain after appearing at the Ambanis' Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. Salman suggested that pregnant women put on weight as their bodies change, and when they return to movies, they should be fit. He also addressed how he often faces age-related trolling and how some netizens comment that he has grown old.

Salman made it clear that he and his fans club do not care about such criticisms and that they have a large support base. The actor also spoke about the online criticism directed at his brother, Sohail Khan, urging people to focus on their own lives before commenting on others.
