During the latest episode of Bigg Boss 20, Salman Khan appeared to show support for Katrina Kaif after the actress faced trolling over her post-pregnancy appearance.
Following the widespread trolling Katrina Kaif faced over her post-pregnancy appearance, Salman Khan slammed those targeting women for their weight and looks. During his latest appearance on Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar, the actor-host spoke out against personal attacks on celebrities.
Katrina recently stepped out with her husband Vicky Kaushal for the Ganpati celebrations in Mumbai. The couple's appearance became a talking point online, with several users commenting on Katrina's body and weight after she became a mother.
Although Salman did not mention Katrina by name, fans connected his comments about women being trolled to the criticism aimed at his former co-star.
