  "account": "During a recent episode of Bigg Boss 20's Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan denounced the incessant trolling faced by celebrities on social media. Addressing the argument between Scout OP and Arishfa Khan, Salman criticized both participants for targeting each other's careers. He then defended actress Katrina Kaif, who had recently been targeted for her post-pregnancy weight gain.\n\nSalman Khan explained that online trolls often make money based on the interaction their posts receive, but they earn by bringing others down. He stated that trolls should look in the mirror before criticizing others, as many of them are ashamed of their own appearance and lack the courage to reveal their identities.\n\nDefending Katrina Kaif, Salman emphasized that it is wrong to judge someone's physical appearance, especially after they have given birth. He added that he himself had faced trolling in the past, and age was becoming a significant point of scrutiny. Katrina Kaif simply wants to spend time with her family after giving birth, and her weight gain is nothing to be ashamed of or criticized about.",
