Bollywood superstar Salman Khan returned to his fiery self on Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar, taking on contestants who failed to impress. However, he reserved special praise for Gaurav Khanna, who remained calm despite being repeatedly provoked by Farrhana Bhatt. Salman Khan commended Gaurav's composure during the episode, saying that if Bhatt hadn't watched his shows, she was ignorant of his popularity. He even revealed that his mother Salma Khan is a fan of Gaurav's work, adding to the actor's credibility. Salman emphasized that Gaurav's fans have made him a 'superstar,' and he has never claimed it himself. Salman was impressed by Gaurav's dedication, stating that he has been working tirelessly for 20 years, 18 hours a day, without ever getting personal with his critics. The actor expressed that he wouldn't have handled the situation as graciously as Gaurav did, even with his own reputation on the line. Farrhana Bhatt's provocations towards Gaurav had sparked the controversy, with her questioning his career and even doubting his existence in the TV industry. Gaurav calmly accepted the label of 'TV superstar' and vowed to show Bhatt the 'power of television.' Tonight's episode will feature Salman celebrating the Indian Women's Cricket Team's World Cup victory with Jhulan Goswami and Anjum Chopra, as well as a promotion for the upcoming film De De Pyaar De 2, starring Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh, which releases in cinemas on November 14.
