Salman Khan appeared to address the trolling faced by women over their appearance after pregnancy during the latest episode of Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar.
The actor-host criticised people who target women over their weight and looks, particularly after childbirth. Although Salman did not name Katrina Kaif, his remarks were widely linked by fans to the recent online criticism of the actress over her post-pregnancy appearance.
Katrina recently stepped out with husband Vicky Kaushal for Ganpati celebrations in Mumbai. Their appearance drew attention on social media, where some users commented on Katrina’s body and weight after she became a mother.
What Salman Khan said
During the episode, Salman questioned why people troll women after they become pregnant.
“Why do you troll somebody who gets pregnant? Pregnant hone ke baad everyone puts on weight. Jab woh picture mein wapas ajayengi, woh fit ajayengi.”
He also suggested that women should be allowed to spend time with their families after having children instead of facing pressure to immediately regain their pre-pregnancy appearance.
Katrina and Vicky welcomed their son, Vihaan, in November 2025.
Fans connect remarks to Katrina Kaif
Following the episode, several fans on social media interpreted Salman’s comments as an indirect response to the trolling Katrina had faced.
Some users specifically mentioned Katrina while praising Salman for speaking against body-shaming. Others described his remarks as a defence of his former co-star.
The reactions included comments suggesting that Salman was addressing criticism aimed at Katrina without directly naming her.
Salman and Katrina’s on-screen association
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have worked together in several films, including Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?, Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai and Bharat.
While Salman did not explicitly identify Katrina during the Bigg Boss 20 episode, the timing of his remarks and recent online discussion around the actress led fans to connect the two.
The larger conversation around post-pregnancy appearance
Salman’s comments have also brought attention to the broader issue of scrutiny faced by women after childbirth. His remarks focused on the expectation that women should quickly return to their pre-pregnancy appearance, while emphasising that spending time with family after having children should not invite online attacks.
