Bollywood superstar Salman Khan took a strong stand against body-shaming and bashed Bigg Boss 19 contestants Tanya Mittal and Neelam Giri for making insensitive comments about fellow housemate Ashnoor Kaur.

In the recent Weekend Ka Vaar promo, Salman was seen confronting Tanya and Neelam about their opinion of Ashnoor. Initially, they both agreed politely, but the host then revealed what they had actually said earlier, where they both compared Ashnoor to a "dinosaur" and a “haathi (elephant)”.

Rebuking them for their insensitive comments, Salman asked: “Ye haq kisne diya aapko ye sab bolne ka? (Who gave you the right to say such things?)”

His words left the contestants silent, while Ashnoor became visibly emotional and said, “Shame on you, Tanya!”
