Bollywood superstar and Bigg Boss 20 host Salman Khan publicly reprimanded contestant Rhiti Tiwari during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode for using inappropriate language against fellow housemates Qazi Touqeer and Uditi Singh during a 'diss' task. A promo clip circulating ahead of the episode showed an unusually stern Salman taking Rhiti to task over what he called a clear breach of basic decency.
What Salman Said
Addressing Rhiti directly, Salman said: 'Rhiti, it was the worst diss ever. You have to show respect within limits. Your language is going somewhere else.' The rebuke drew attention not only because of its directness but also because of who was on the receiving end — Rhiti is the daughter of veteran politician and entertainer Manoj Tiwari.
The Team Also Faces Scrutiny
Salman did not stop with Rhiti. He turned his attention to her entire team — including Scout OP, Love Gill, Aamrapali Dubey, Aasif Khan, and Young DSA — for laughing along rather than intervening. 'And everyone was laughing. Where is your sense? You were making fun of her, and she was making fun of you. Was it not your duty to stop it right there? If this diss would have been on your sister, would you have let this diss happen?' he said, holding the group collectively accountable.
House Updates: Captain and Nominations
Separately, Kushal Tanwar, popularly known in the house as Gullu, was re-elected as the captain of the Bigg Boss 20 house for the second time in the latest episode. Contestants currently nominated for eviction this week are Isha Rikhi and Young DSA.
About Bigg Boss 20
The 20th edition of Bigg Boss premiered on 6 September with a diverse lineup of 16 celebrity contestants, including MC Mary Kom, Kanika Mann, Mahhi Vij, Arishfa Khan, Aman Gandhi, and others. The show airs on Colors TV and streams on JioHotstar. Based on the Dutch format of Big Brother, Bigg Boss remains one of Indian television's most-watched reality franchises, with Salman serving as host across most of its editions.
Point of View
But this one carries an added dimension: Rhiti Tiwari is not just any contestant — she is the daughter of a prominent public figure, which raises the visibility of the moment considerably. More notable is the collective accountability he imposed on the team, which signals that the show is drawing a visible line around the 'diss' task format. Reality television routinely walks the edge between entertainment and excess; when the host himself intervenes, it is usually a course-correction that the production has already sanctioned. Whether this translates into changed contestant behaviour or remains a one-episode moment of drama will be the real test of Bigg Boss 20's tone going forward.
