In the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan showered praise on Shehbaz Badesha, applauding him for his consistent entertainment and prank segments over the past two weeks. The host acknowledged Shehbaz’s efforts in bringing laughter and liveliness to the house, calling his acts a refreshing break from the ongoing tensions.

Salman also spoke highly of Shehbaz and Amaal Mallik’s friendship, likening their bond to the iconic “Jai and Veeru” from Sholay. He further appreciated Shehbaz for maintaining integrity in the house, specifically not taking Amaal’s name negatively in any situation, a subtle but significant mark of respect and loyalty in the Bigg Boss environment.

Despite being a late entrant into the show, Salman pointed out that Shehbaz has received more screen time than many other contestants, owing to his dynamic presence and entertaining nature.

The appreciation didn’t stop there. Amaal Mallik, too, received accolades for his performance as captain. Salman praised Amaal for handling the captaincy with confidence, without worrying about how others in the house would perceive his decisions. In a pointed remark, Salman said this was unlike other contestants who gave up the captaincy the moment they faced their first challenge, taking a clear jibe at Kunickaa.

With this boost from Salman, both Shehbaz and Amaal emerged as strong personalities in the house — one for his fun factor, and the other for his fearless leadership.
