Bollywood superstar Salman Khan once again made headlines during Bigg Boss 19, not for drama in the house, but for addressing a topic that has followed him for years: the claims that he ruins people’s careers. Famous for his straight-shooting hosting on Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman didn’t mince words as he addressed these rumors with honesty, wit, and his trademark charm. Audiences and critics were all waiting to get his take, and this time, he left nothing to the imagination.
Shehnaaz Gill Requests a Wildcard Entry
The weekend episode started on an emotional note when Shehnaaz Gill requested Salman to allow her brother, Shehbaz Badesha, into the Bigg Boss house as a wildcard contestant. She praised Salman, saying, “Sir, aapne itnon ke career banaye hai” (Sir, you’ve made so many people’s careers).
Salman, as always, responded calmly but firmly:
“Maine kahan banaye hain kisi ki career. Career banane waala toh upar waala hai.”
(When have I ever made someone’s career? The one who makes careers is God.)
His answer was a reminder that success is not usually in anyone’s hands by themselves, and humility and hard work contribute more than influence or fame.
Salman Denies Career Sabotage Allegations
The conversation quickly moved to the more serious allegations that Salman intentionally sabotages people’s careers. With a mix of humor and candidness, he addressed it:
“Laanchan bhi daala hai ki kitno ke dubaaye hai. Specially dubaane waale toh mere haath mein hai hi nahi. Lekin aaj kal sab chalta hai na ki career khaa jaayega. Kaunsa career khaaya maine?”
(People say I’ve ruined so many careers, but honestly, that’s not in my hands. Whose career have I destroyed?)
He joked that if anyone’s career were to be affected, it would be his own. He owned up to lapses in concentration but described how he always attempts to catch up. It was refreshing to see him being honest, revealing the human nature behind a star who is usually accompanied by rumors and speculation.
Understanding Bollywood Power Dynamics
Salman has, over time, been blamed for influencing the careers of a number of celebrities, including Arijit Singh and Vivek Oberoi. Addressing this, he said:
“He is the father of the star system in Bollywood. He is from a film family that has been in the industry for 50 years. They dictate the entire process. If you disagree with them, they hatch for you.”
His comments put into perspective the reality of the world of film: it’s ruthless, high-stakes, and full of games of power. Rumors spread quickly, and perception generally trumps reality. Salman’s perspective brings into perspective that even the biggest stars must face problems and criticism with grace.
