Salman Khan reprimands Bigg Boss 20 contestants over their behaviour towards Qazi Touqeer while he was suffering from dengue.

Bigg Boss 20 witnessed an emotional moment after Salman Khan reprimanded contestants for allegedly bullying singer Qazi Touqeer while he was suffering from dengue. During the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Khan called out Yung DSA and Scout OP for provoking Qazi and questioned other housemates over their response to his illness.

The episode focused on conflicts that took place while Qazi was unwell. Khan also questioned Aamrapali and Uditi Singh about their conduct towards him, while Qazi spoke about the physical pain he experienced and how deeply the situation had affected him.

Salman Khan Calls Out Bullying in the House

During the episode, Salman accused Yung and Scout of behaving like bullies, while also acknowledging that Qazi's retaliation was wrong. He questioned the contestants over threats of violence outside the house and challenged what he described as double standards in how housemates judged one another.

Khan also criticised Aamrapali for allegedly using insulting language against Qazi and questioned why certain contestants appeared to receive more leniency from their friends. Yung and Scout apologised during the discussion, while Aamrapali defended her position.

Khan separately questioned Scout about how he had served food to Qazi when the singer was ill. He criticised the manner in which the food was delivered, describing the behaviour as insensitive given Qazi's condition.

Qazi Touqeer Opens Up About Dengue

Khan reminded the housemates that Qazi had been suffering from dengue and asked whether anyone believed he was pretending to be ill. Drawing on his own experience of dengue and COVID-19 during a film shoot, the host described the pain as severe.

Qazi subsequently became emotional while explaining his experience. He said he had been in considerable pain but wanted to continue entertaining viewers. He also recalled being offered additional food for nutritional support and said objections from other contestants had hurt him.

Mahhi also broke down during the discussion, complaining about how food was being served to contestants. Khan reiterated that some housemates had accused Qazi of acting despite his illness.

Uditi Singh Questioned Over Her Reaction

Salman also confronted Uditi Singh, saying Qazi had supported her during the show's diss task when other contestants opposed him.

Khan questioned why she had laughed while Yung mocked Qazi and why she had allegedly suggested that he was faking his health problems. He urged the contestants to show empathy when someone was unwell, adding that the medical team had repeatedly called Qazi to the medical room.

His remarks placed the focus on how contestants respond to illness and vulnerability inside the Bigg Boss house.

Nakul Dhull Enters as Wildcard Contestant

The episode also featured developments beyond the confrontation. Aman Gandhi lost his only lifeline on the show, while content creator Nakul Dhull entered as the second wildcard contestant after Manish Goel.

After entering the house, Dhull told the contestants that he gives tuition classes to students in Classes 11 and 12. Scout, meanwhile, spoke about his work creating social media content.

The episode combined a confrontation over Qazi's treatment with a new wildcard entry, bringing questions of empathy, housemate relationships and competition back into focus.
