In their heartfelt chat, Salman touched on the weight of responsibility, offering Shilpa advice on managing her emotions while in the house. He remarked, “I hate tears, Shilpa. Aapki bachchi khane par gussa utarti thi, aap kya bolti thi usse? (I hate tears, Shilpa. Your daughter used to get angry about food; what did you tell her?)” Shilpa replied, “Khane par gussa nahi tha, attitude pe gussa tha (It wasn't about the food; it was about the attitude)” Salman then encouraged her to channel her frustrations: “Toh us attitude par gussa nikalo. Feelings se koyi rishta aapka iss ghar mein hona hi nahi chahiye. Jaise ki aaj ki meri ye feeling hai ki mujhe aaj yaha par aana hi nahi tha. Ek aadmi ko jo karna padta hai, usse karna padta hai. "(So, take out your anger on that attitude. Just like today, my feeling is that I didn't want to come here. A person has to do what they have to do)” This heartfelt exchange led Shilpa to break down in tears, making for a profoundly emotional segment.

In response to heightened security concerns, Salman was greeted with Y+ security, with over 60 personnel deployed during the shoot to ensure his safety. The production team implemented strict protocols, including verifying all entrants with Aadhar cards and mandating crew members to remain on-site until filming concluded. The Weekend Ka Vaar episode is set to air this weekend, promising a blend of emotional moments and entertaining segments. ‘Bigg Boss 18’: Salman Khan Shoots for Weekend Ka Vaar Episodes Amid Fresh Threats From Lawrence Bishnoi Gang, 60 Security Guards Deployed for Safety.
