Salman Khan Calls Out Shehbaz Badesha For Using Sidharth Shuklas Name; Here's Why

Shehbaz Badesha made a comment where he claimed that late actor and 'Bigg Boss 13' fame Sidharth Shukla's fans would save him if he came up for nominations. This has left the internet baffled, with people calling out Shehbaz for the entire week. Now, Salman Khan has also slammed the contestant and warned him that his game is not even 1% as compared to the late actor's.

Shehbaz Badesha Faces Backlash For Using Sidharth Shukla's Name in Game:

During the recent Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman called out Shehbaz for his comment and said, “Aap bade confident hain ki Sidharth Shukla ke fans aapko support karenge. Shehbaz, main aapko yeh baat bataana chahta hoon, Sidharth ne jo bhi kiya hai show mein, apne dum par kiya hai. Usne kisi ka naam nahi uchala hai aur aapka game, uske game ke 1% bhi barabar nahi hai. So, do you really think Sidharth's fans will support someone whose game isn't even close to 1% of his? Do you think that Sidharth Shukla, God bless his soul, would have supported you, seeing the way you're playing this game? (You seem quite confident that Sidharth Shukla's fans will support you. Shehbaz, I want to tell you this, whatever Sidharth did on the show, he did it on his own merit. He never took anyone's name for support, and your game isn't even 1% of his)."

"Don't Go Below The Belt..."

Salman further continued and also called him out for saying that the contestant knows him too well. He added, “And you also said that you know me very well, I heard you say that too. When did that happen? I've only met you once or twice in my life, that too during shoots. You're funny, you have a good sense of humour, so use it properly and don't go below the belt. You've had many genuinely funny moments, but has the box of jokes you came with run out? I told you not to irritate and not to go below the belt, I never said to stop doing comedy."

Shehbaz Badesha's Bold Comment:

Earlier this week, while discussing Sidharth's massive fan base, Shehbaz stated that the late actor's followers would back him throughout the show, leaving him without any worry about eviction. Shehbaz said, “Baithe hain phir Sidharth Shukla ke fans mere saath. Jo ye show ka winner hai na, uske fans baithe hain mere saath."

This comment irritated Sidharth's devoted fans, who quickly took to social media to mock Shehbaz for mentioning the late actor in such a context. The remark prompted an online controversy, with supporters expressing their unhappiness with the disrespectful statement.
