In the latest promo of *Bigg Boss 19*’s Weekend Ka Vaar, host Salman Khan confronted contestant Neelam Giri over her refusal to cook following a disagreement with fellow housemate Gaurav Khanna.
### The Incident: Why Did Neelam Refuse to Cook?
During a recent task, Gaurav Khanna commented that Neelam was “only cooking and doing nothing else” in the game. Although Khanna later clarified that this was part of the task’s script, Neelam chose to give up her cooking duties in protest.
In the promo, Salman asked Neelam, “Playground wale task mein karna kya tha?” (What were you supposed to do in the playground task?), to which she replied, “Bura bura bolna tha.” (We had to say bad things.) Salman further questioned why she took out her frustration on everyone just because of something Khanna said as part of the task. Neelam admitted she simply didn’t feel like cooking after the incident.
### Salman Khan’s Criticism: A ‘Weak Competitor’
Salman Khan didn’t hold back, criticizing Neelam for not expressing her opinions clearly and calling her a “weak competitor.” He said,
> “Iss ghar mein aapka jo opinion hai, woh saamne aata hi nahi hai. Sach kadwa hota hai. Ki aap ek aisi weak competitor ho, ki inko aapse koi khatra nahi hai.”
> *(This is exactly the problem, Neelam. In this house, your opinions never come forward. The truth is bitter. You’re such a weak competitor that no one here sees you as a threat.)*
### Fan Reactions on Social Media
Fans of the show have been actively reacting to the promo, mostly supporting Salman’s stance. Comments include:
– “Salman Khan is right.”
– “Thank God he raised this issue.”
– “Tell Amaal and Shehbaz also, they were supporting Neelam. Gaurav was right.”
Meanwhile, Neelam Giri is among the contestants nominated for eviction this week, adding more drama to the ongoing season.
