The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19 delivered high-voltage drama and sharp reality checks as host Salman Khan took on the ongoing conflicts in the house. But one moment stood out — Salman openly took Gaurav Khanna’s side in his heated argument with Neelam Giri, praising him for playing the game with honesty, composure, and maturity.
Salman Schools Neelam Giri
The discussion began when Salman revisited the task that sparked Gaurav and Neelam’s spat. He asked Neelam what the challenge required, to which she replied that contestants had to speak negatively about each other. Salman immediately countered, stating that Gaurav was simply following the format of the task and that her reaction was unnecessary.
He pointed out that Neelam’s problem wasn’t with the task itself but with her inability to take a clear, confident stand.
“Your thoughts never come across strongly,” Salman said, adding that her gameplay appeared timid and directionless compared to others.
He even mentioned that several housemates had begun perceiving her as a non-threatening contestant — something that could prove costly in the game.
Gaurav’s Calmness Earns Respect
Turning to Gaurav, Salman commended him for his calm and straightforward demeanor throughout the week.
“You handled it right. You didn’t lose your temper, and you didn’t twist words. You were right in that fight,” Salman remarked.
The superstar praised Gaurav’s clarity of thought and his ability to stand his ground without creating unnecessary chaos — a quality Salman often values in contestants.
By the end of the segment, it was evident that Salman firmly stood with Gaurav, calling his behavior justified while labeling Neelam’s reaction “over the top.” His closing words —
“Sach kadwa hota hai” (Truth is bitter) —
perfectly summed up the entire exchange, leaving Neelam emotional and the rest of the house stunned.
A Turning Point in Gaurav’s Journey
This moment could mark a major turning point for Gaurav Khanna inside the Bigg Boss 19 house. Earning Salman Khan’s validation is no small feat — it not only boosts a contestant’s confidence but also influences audience perception. With Gauahar Khan recently calling him a “thinker with winner qualities,” and now Salman backing his gameplay, Gaurav’s journey is shaping up to be one of the most respected and balanced in the house.
