Actor Salman Khan, who is currently hosting Bigg Boss 20, called out the culture of online trolling during this week's Weekend Ka Vaar episode. While addressing contestant Scout over his comments from the previous week, Salman questioned the mentality behind trolling and pointed out that he, too, has often been targeted for his age, weight and appearance.
"What do you want to troll? And why do you want to troll? What is the mentality? It has happened with me too. Bhai mota ho gaya hai (He has become fat). Kar lo na troll, ye lo (Now come, troll me)," Salman said.
He then removed his hat and jacket before adding, "Kar lo trolling (Come troll me)."

"Kamaal hai, pehle apne aap ko dekho. Aap log jo comment karte ho, kisi ke upar jo bhi karte ho, pehle apni shakal dekh lo, apna jism dekh lo, uske baad karna ye. Apne maa-baap ko dekh lo pehle, unki sehat dekh lo, uske baad karna," he said. (It's amazing. First look at yourselves. Whatever comments you make about someone, first look at your own face and your own body before doing this. Look at your parents first, look at their health, and then make these comments.)
Salman, however, said he understands when people express genuine concern about an actor's appearance or health rather than mocking them.
"Ek samajh mein aata hai ki, 'Bhai, you have lost weight or you have put on weight, we are worried.' Woh sab samajh aata hai," he added. (I can understand someone saying, 'Bhai, you have lost weight or you have put on weight, we are worried.' I understand all that.)
The actor went on to point out that trolling often extends beyond him to other actors and people from the film industry, including his brother Sohail Khan and Varun Dhawan.
"Lekin mazaak udaana Sohail ke upar, Varun ke upar, har ek industry ke upar. Lagao ab jitni trolling karni hai," Salman said. (But making fun of Sohail, Varun and everyone in the industry. Go ahead, troll as much as you want.)
"Phatte hue joote bhi pehenta hoon aur agli baar woh bhi pehenkar aaunga. Same shit yaar ki ye dress inhone phir se pehni hai," he said. (I even wear torn shoes, and next time I'll wear those too. It's the same thing — 'They have worn this dress again.)
Salman Khan on his bald looks
"People say, 'Takla ho gaya hai'. Picture ka look hai ye. And the real reason is a friend of mine passed away, some two months ago. Aur log bolte hai, 'Transplant kara raha hai'. It doesn't make a difference to me," he said. ( People say I have gone bald. This is the look for the film. And the real reason is that a friend of mine passed away about two months ago. Then they say, 'I'm undergoing a transplant.')

Salman also criticised the language used by some trolls, saying it reflects their upbringing.
"Aur the language that they use. Unki parvarish pata chalti hai ki ye kaun hai. Unke toh mooh bhi nahi lagna chahiye. Kabhi-kabhi aisa lagta hai ki woh hamare log hain bhi ya nahi. Ye insaan bhi hai ya nahi. Parasites," he added. (And the language they use tells you about their upbringing and what kind of person they are. One shouldn't even engage with them. Sometimes it makes you wonder whether these people are even our own, whether they are even human.)
