Sunil Pal Hits Back At Salman Khan After Bigg Boss Row

Recently, Sunil Pal made these comments at a public event. He was reacting to Salman Khan’s outburst on Bigg Boss 20. As reported by News18, he said fans, not the actor, are the real reason he became a star today. Watching his films for years, he noted, gave him this fame. This remark did not take long to reach fans across the country. Such comments rarely fade quickly online.

He did not stop there. He also said the show deserves to be taken off air entirely, calling it a “gutter show.” Pal added that even top stars like Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan need to rethink their approach to work. Many fans online agreed with his blunt remark.

This is not new for Sunil Pal. Clearly, he often speaks his mind about big names in the industry. His latest remark fits his usual style of blunt, honest talk. Many people online both praised and criticised his comment. Now, people often wait closely for his next public remark.

What Sparked This Bigg Boss Controversy

The Bigg Boss controversy began weeks earlier. Meanwhile, the actor lost his patience during a Weekend Ka Vaar episode. He was addressing trolls who had mocked his age, weight and looks for months. At one point, he removed his jacket and shirt on stage. He then dared critics to keep commenting. The clip spread fast and drew reactions from many well-known faces. 

He also spoke about actress Katrina Kaif. She had faced criticism after appearing at a family event after her pregnancy. He asked why people felt the need to comment on someone’s body. Several celebrities thanked him for raising the issue. This support kept the topic trending online that day. 

Not everyone agreed with his reaction, though. Yet, some felt his tone was fair. Others, like Pal, felt the host should look inward first. Thus, this split turned into a wider debate about celebrity attitudes. Fans online remain divided on who is right. The debate soon spread well beyond fans of the show itself.

How Sunil Pal Views Bollywood Today

Salman’s words also touched on actor Varun Dhawan and his brother Sohail Khan. Both face constant remarks about their looks. Still, he drew a clear line between real concern and cruel mockery. This point widened the talk even further. Both actors have often faced harsh notes about their weight and style. It also showed a softer side to a usually tough host. 

Varun Dhawan and his father David Dhawan reacted with visible support. Neha Dhupia and filmmaker Kunal Kohli also backed him. Still, Pal’s remark shows not everyone agrees with his way of handling public criticism. Not everyone bought his explanation, though, and the quick backing he got hinted at real unity within Bollywood. 

In many ways, this fallout says a lot about Bollywood. It is about how stars handle trolling and how veterans like him see fame itself. The Bigg Boss controversy may not fade soon. For now, both sides seem unwilling to back down. This gap in views may keep the debate alive for a while.
