Salman Khan begins the episode by questioning why the housemates appear scared and why they have not been providing enough content. He makes it clear that he wants to see their real personalities instead of forced fights or unnecessary arguments.
He then introduces a special activity using Qazi’s glasses, asking contestants to identify the housemates in whom they see the most good and bad qualities. Mahhi Vij and Arishfa Khan name Qazi among the housemates they consider good, while different contestants point fingers at others. The activity gives Salman an opportunity to expose how the housemates actually perceive one another.
Salman Supports Kanika Mann in Qazi Touqeer Controversy
The ongoing disagreement between Qazi Touqeer and Kanika Mann also comes under discussion. Qazi explains that he considered his comments about chocolate and a lollipop to be a joke, but Kanika had found the remark uncomfortable.
Salman questions Qazi over his response and makes an important point: once someone expresses discomfort, the other person should step back. He also points out that Qazi did not apologise to Kanika after the incident.
Key moments:
- Qazi Touqeer: Explains his intention behind the controversial joke.
- Kanika Mann: Stands by her reaction to the conversation.
- Salman Khan: Tells Qazi that he should have backed off after Kanika expressed discomfort.
- Mahhi Vij: Names Qazi while discussing positive qualities.
- Arishfa Khan: Also identifies Qazi as someone she sees positively.

Why didn't u ask what does she mean by lollipop ?
And why should he say sorry ?
Lollipop isn't abuse or triggering..
And when did Kanika nagin said , she doesn't wanna hear that word.
Kuch bi , to bash him.
Too wrong..#QaziTouqeer #BB20 #BiggBoss20…
One of the most personal moments arrives when Salman talks about difficult phases in his own career. He recalls a period when negative stories about him dominated the media and says that people had started forgetting the image created by films such as Maine Pyaar Kiya and Hum Saath-Saath Hain.
Salman explains that he chose to work on Dus Ka Dum during that phase because he continued to believe in himself. He then gives Amitabh Bachchan’s career as another example, recalling how the veteran actor worked on Kaun Banega Crorepati during his difficult period and rebuilt his position.
