  "account": "Salman Khan's recent appearance on Bigg Boss 20's Weekend Ka Vaar episode highlighted his disdain for social media trolling. Stripping off his shirt, the actor challenged his online detractors to continue their abuse. Salman warned trolls, \"Come on, troll me now,\" before addressing the issue of paid negative campaigns within the film industry. He accused certain actors and producers of accepting money to run smear campaigns against their peers and criticized politicians accepting money to influence public opinion. Salman questioned their right to comment on ethics and morality, given their own questionable behavior. When asked if he sought confrontation with trolls, Salman revealed he had confronted a troll's family years ago. He emphasized the need to eradicate trolls, stating they were parasites who thrived on causing harm. The actor's appearance on the show came amid rumors about his new hairstyle, which he explained was related to a recent loss in his personal life.",
