Salman later explained that the moment was actually an act designed to make Qazi understand the impact of pretending to be unwell. Qazi had earlier acted sick inside the Bigg Boss house, leaving the other 15 housemates worried because they didn’t know he was pretending.
Salman said the full episode made the reason behind his actions clearer and praised Qazi’s performance as ‘Oscar-worthy’. He also acknowledged that the promo edit had made the situation appear misleading.
Salman Khan Apologises Over The Misleading Promo
Salman Khan took to his Instagram Story to clarify that he is not unwell and is completely fine.
He wrote, “Nothing is wrong with my health by the grace of God. The Bigg Boss promo should not have been cut the way it was cut. It totally beats the purpose and looks like I’m doing the same thing that Qazi was doing in the house. The pain was only to show Qazi that what he did was wrong cause he used his health for entertainment, especially when the 15 people in the house were not aware that he was acting and were getting worried for his health.”
The actor went on to address the way the promo had been presented, saying that the edit changed how the staged moment came across to viewers.
Salman further wrote, “Sorry about the way the promo was cut. Guess it’s the format that they use in promoting shows. I apologise on their behalf.”
A few minutes later, Salman shared another Instagram Story confirming that the issue had been addressed.
“Bigg Boss has rectified it. Thank you Bigg Boss,” wrote Salman.
The clarification put an end to the concern over Salman’s health, while also explaining the context behind the unusual promo.
