Bigg Boss 19: Salman Khan gives Pranit More reality check over past stand-up digs, tells him not to go below the belt

Salman Khan gives Pranit More a reality check on Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar, addressing his past stand-up digs and dependency on Tanya Mittal.

"I am letting it be, but understand, it's easy to mock someone when they're not around. - Salman Khan"

Mumbai, August 31

The first "Weekend Ka Vaar" episode of 'Bigg Boss 19' had Salman Khan taking stock of the contestants' journey so far. While some housemates were praised for their performance, others were asked to reflect and make changes in their game.

Salman appreciated Mridul Tiwari, Kunickaa Sadanand, Tanya Mittal, and Natalia Janoszek for their efforts inside the house. At the same time, he advised Nehal Chudasama, Gaurav Khanna, Amaal Mallik, and Pranit More to improve.

However, it was Pranit who found himself in the spotlight and got schooled by the host.

Salman, during the episode, told the stand-up comedian that he seems to be dependent on Tanya Mittal. The actor said, "Tanya is a one-man army for you...Have you even noticed that you've become completely dependent on Tanya? Your entire game seems centred around her. No one else in the house seems to take you seriously except for her. When you want to speak up, you only feel comfortable doing so around Tanya. You never joke around with Zeishan, Gaurav, or Amaal, probably because you're intimidated. Tanya sees you as a friend, which is why she doesn't take offense."

The host also reminded Pranit about the jokes he had made at his expense before joining the show. Asking him directly, Salman said, "I've seen the jokes you cracked about me outside. What all have you spoken about me?"

Pranit replied with, "Let the bygones be."

Giving a strong reminder, Salman said, "I am letting it be, but understand, it's easy to mock someone when they're not around. Think about everything you've said about me or others. If the roles were reversed, how would you feel? A lot of things you said about me were wrong, but you had to take a punchline using my name; it was your job, and you did it."

Salman also offered him a perspective on comedy and where to draw the line. He said, "If you're able to make money by using my name, whether rightly or wrongly, I'm genuinely happy for you. I don't have a problem with what most of you do. Look at comedians like Kapil Sharma, Krushna Abhishek, and Kiku Sharda; they're brilliant at what they do, but they don't cross certain lines. If saying something about me helps boost your profile, go ahead. But inside this house, you need to compete fairly. I don't think you should go beneath the belt, because if you do, others will respond the same way, and they might not be as forgiving as I am."

Viewers can watch 'Bigg Boss 19' on Colors and JioHotstar.

Pranit should learn from legends like Kapil Sharma who entertain without offending anyone. Bigg Boss is about strategy but also about maintaining dignity. Good lesson from Salman sir!

Honestly, Salman handled this so gracefully. Many celebrities would have been angry about past jokes, but he actually supported Pranit's career while teaching him boundaries. Class act! 👏

I noticed Pranit's dependency on Tanya too! He needs to develop his own identity in the house instead of clinging to one person. Weekend Ka Vaar episodes are always so insightful!

While I appreciate Salman's mentorship, sometimes he can be a bit harsh on contestants. Pranit is still learning and comedy is subjective. Hope he takes this feedback positively and grows from it.

This is why Salman Khan is the perfect host! He doesn't just entertain but actually guides contestants. Pranit got a free masterclass in both comedy and life today 😄
