Salman Khan Says ‘Nothing Is Wrong With My Health’ After Bigg Boss 20 Heart Attack Act.

Salman Khan has apologised for the way a Bigg Boss 20 promo showed him seeming to suffer a heart attack during Weekend Ka Vaar. Taking to his Instagram Stories, the actor clarified that there was nothing wrong with his health and said the promo was edited in a way that made his act look similar to what Qazi Touqeer had done inside the house.

Salman reacted to the controversy after the promo showed him clutching his chest and looking as though he was in serious pain. The sequence left viewers concerned about his health, while others slammed him for seemingly using a medical emergency as entertainment.

In his Instagram Story, Salman wrote, “Nothing is wrong with my health by the grace of God. The bigg boss promo should not have been cut like the way it was cut. It totally beats the purpose n looks like I am doing the same thing that kazi was doing in the house ,the pain was only to show kazi that wat he did was wrong coz he used his health for entertainment specially when the 15 people in the house were not aware that he was acting and were getting worried for his health.Sorry abt the way the promo was cut , Guess it’s the format that they use in promoting the shows , I apologise on their behalf (sic)."

What did Qazi Touqeer do in Bigg Boss 20?

Qazi Touqeer had earlier created concern inside the Bigg Boss 20 house by loudly asking for his medicines after a task. His behaviour worried the other contestants, following which Bigg Boss asked him to report to the medical room. However, once he reached the medical room, Qazi told the doctor that there was nothing wrong with him and admitted that he was acting as part of the game. He also said that he had told the cameras that he was pretending.

Qazi later continued with the act and said he planned to entertain viewers by taking on different characters. The incident nevertheless left some of his fellow contestants worried about his health.

Salman Khan wanted to show why Qazi’s act was wrong

Salman Khan’s point was to show Qazi what it looks like when someone pretends to be unwell and makes others worry, only to later reveal that it was all an act. He wanted to demonstrate the impact of turning something as serious as a health scare into entertainment and, in the process, making a mockery of the concern it can cause.

Qazi’s other acts have also sparked debate

Qazi’s dramatic style has remained a talking point on the show. Earlier, he had staged a midnight prank in which he behaved as though he had seen something frightening, leaving other housemates scared before it became clear that he was joking.

Last week, his “Ganji Gudiya" and alleged “Lollipop" remarks also triggered a debate among contestants and viewers, with reactions divided over whether his comments were inappropriate or taken out of context.
