In the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 18, Salman Khan stepped into his mentor role, addressing contestant Rajat Dalal’s behavior with patience and wisdom. Known for his fiery confrontations, Salman took a composed approach, guiding Rajat to rethink his actions and their consequences. Rajt was recently seen in feud with Shilpa Shirodkar and Karanveer Mehra where he disrespected Shilpa and talked about powerful connections.
Salman began by highlighting the nature of reality television, emphasizing that every word and action gets amplified. He reminded Rajat, “This is a reality show, not a scripted one. Everything you say or do here is seen and heard by millions. Anger might be natural, but it’s crucial to be mindful of your behaviour.”
Touching on Rajat’s habit of issuing threats, Salman explained that relying on external influences projects weakness. He shared that true strength lies in one’s own actions, not in borrowed power. “When you invoke someone else’s name to threaten, it shows you lack personal strength. Real power is when you handle challenges yourself,” Salman said, adding that a responsible individual should focus on supporting their family rather than engaging in conflicts. He said after the show he can’t go back to the past life and he is in front of 1.4 billion people so he must understand that.
Salman also pointed out Rajat’s comment to Vivian, where he warned of potential harm. Salman calmly explained that such behaviour not only damages personal relationships but also creates a negative public image. He elaborated on the importance of mental strength in a platform like Bigg Boss, saying, “This isn’t a game of physical strength. It’s about relationships and mental resilience.” He explained that religion should not factor in friendships. He said they call him ‘vai’ but He questioned which religion he should follow as his father is Muslim his mom is Hindu and his step mother is catholic.
The discussion shifted to Shilpa Shirodkar, who revealed her ongoing disputes with Rajat. Addressing their conflicts, Salman advised Shilpa to avoid taking Rajat’s words personally. He encouraged her to focus on the bigger picture and not let minor disagreements affect her composure.
Turning to Rajat, Salman critiqued his casual demeanor, reminding him of the platform’s significance. He explained that appearing indifferent or disrespectful on national television could tarnish his image, especially since millions of viewers, including families, watch the show. Salman reflected on his own experiences, admitting that he once displayed similar behavior in his youth, which he now regrets.
“I’ve been where you are,” Salman shared. “When I see clips of my younger self, I feel embarrassed. Respect for seniors and maintaining decorum is something I learned later. It’s important to understand how you come across to others.”
Salman also drew a parallel between Shilpa’s brother, actor Mahesh Babu, and Rajat. He explained that while Mahesh may portray a larger-than-life persona on screen, he is humble and grounded in real life. Salman advised Rajat to adopt a similar attitude, urging him to leave behind his past ways.
As the conversation progressed, Salman stressed the importance of adapting to the television industry. He shared a personal anecdote about seeking forgiveness from people he had conflicts with early in life. “At 17 or 18, I let go of grudges and apologized to everyone. They supported me, and it made all the difference,” Salman said.
By the end of the episode, Salman’s calm yet impactful guidance left Rajat reflecting deeply. The superstar’s insights highlighted the importance of humility, self-awareness, and the ability to adapt in a competitive and public environment like Bigg Boss.
