Salman Khan's recent scolding of Amaal Mallik on Bigg Boss 19 seems to have sparked a significant change in the singer and composer's approach to the show, according to his uncle, Abu Malik. The incident, which aired during a recent "Weekend Ka Vaar" episode, saw Khan calling out Amaal for his perceived lack of engagement and inappropriate behavior inside the house.
In the teaser, Salman Khan questioned Amaal’s purpose for being on the show, asking if he was just there to sleep. He further criticized Amaal for not showcasing his true personality and for letting his image worsen. Khan pointedly asked, "Are you here to just sleep? You are here to tell the world who is the real Amaal Mallik, right? You have done that?". Salman also expressed disappointment that Amaal, who was expected to be a dynamic contestant, had become "a background artist".
Salman Khan also reprimanded Amaal for using abusive language and making personal attacks, particularly referencing an incident involving Abhishek Bajaj. He specifically addressed Amaal's abusive comments toward Abhishek, questioning why he resorted to such language when Abhishek had not provoked him. Salman emphasized that such behavior reflects poorly not only within the house but also outside, reminding Amaal to be mindful of his actions and words. "If Abhishek didn't say anything to you, why did you abuse him? And if he had scolded you in return, would you have tolerated it?" Salman asked. He urged Amaal to showcase his personality and talent without tarnishing his character.
Salman advised Amaal to use his strong mind wisely and cautioned him that his habits would ultimately define his character. He said, “You are here to introduce more of your work and your personality, not to ruin your character. You have a strong mind; use it. We see a lot of potential in you. But remember, your habits become your character, so make sure they're the right ones,”.
The Bigg Boss 19 host didn't mince words when addressing the overall decline in the quality of language used in the house. He firmly stated that abusive language and personal attacks would not be tolerated, setting a clear standard of conduct for all contestants.
The impact of Salman's scolding appears to be significant. Whether Amaal Malik will heed Salman Khan's advice and change his game remains to be seen, but the episode has certainly ignited a conversation about his behavior and potential on Bigg Boss 19.
