Bollywood star Salman Khan recently hit back at trolls over social media trolling, celebrity body-shaming and intrusive paparazzi culture on Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar. The actor received praise on social media, with actors Varun Dhawan and Neha Dhupia also cheering him on. Now, filmmaker Rohit Shetty has also sent love to Salman for standing up for actors.
He said the Bigg Boss 20 host had made some of the most relevant points about paparazzi culture and the lack of social media etiquette. Bigg Boss 20 is available to watch on JioHotstar and Colors TV. Golmaal 5 is set to star Ajay Devgn, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi and Shreyas Talpade, along with Akshay Kumar in key roles. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on January 8, 2027.
Along with the video, the filmmaker wrote, “Only unconditional prem for him. Dear trollers, it’s done bro. Not just Rohit, filmmaker Kunal Kohli also praised Salman for calling out trolls. The filmmaker added that while social media has grown over the years, behaviour online has declined below the level of basic humanity. Sharing the video, he wrote, “Respect…you made the most important points on social media etiquette, behaviour, trolls & paps and the people who follow n encourage such behaviour. Aur jab bhai bolta hai toh uske baad koi nahin bol sakta (When bhai speaks, no one else can speak). During Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman talked about how celebrities are trolled over their looks on social media. The actor further hit back at those trolling Katrina Kaif over her post-pregnancy weight gain, saying, “Everyone puts on weight after getting pregnant. When she returns to films, she will get back in shape. She wants to spend time with her family. Salman also called out trolls for hurling abuses at actors when they do not like their work. He further defended actors, saying that a flop should not decide their fate as they work hard on every film to entertain the audience. The filmmaker is all set to return with the next film in the Golmaal series.
On Sunday, Rohit Shetty took to Instagram and shared a video of Salman removing his shirt to show off his toned physique and hit back at trolls who body-shamed him and called him “budha”. The host revealed that even he had faced such trolling, after being called “budha” on social media, while some people also joked about his new bald look.
