Salman Khan clarifies the Bigg Boss 20 chest pain promo, revealing it was an act involving Qazi Touqeer and apologising for the misleading edit.
Salman Khan has once again found himself at the centre of a Bigg Boss 20 controversy, but this time the concern was not about a contestant or a heated argument. A promo showing the superstar clutching his chest and appearing to be in pain left many viewers genuinely worried about his health.
But there was more to the scene than what the promo initially suggested. Salman later addressed the moment and explained why he staged the act, while also pointing out that the way the promo was edited made the situation look completely different from what actually happened.
So, what really happened with Salman Khan on Bigg Boss 20, and why did he say the promo “beats the purpose”? Here’s the full story.
‘Beats the purpose’: Salman Khan clears the air on Bigg Boss 20 chest pain act
For a moment, it looked like something had gone seriously wrong with Salman Khan on the Bigg Boss 20 stage. A promo from the latest Weekend Ka Vaar showed the actor holding his chest, asking for a doctor and eventually appearing to collapse. The clip quickly spread online, leaving many fans worried about his health.
But Salman Khan has now cleared up the confusion. The actor said there was nothing wrong with his health and explained that the chest-pain scene was actually part of an act involving Bigg Boss 20 contestant Qazi Touqeer.
Why did Salman Khan pretend to have chest pain?
The incident was connected to something that had happened earlier inside the Bigg Boss house.
Qazi Touqeer had previously pretended to be unwell as part of an act for entertainment. The other housemates were reportedly unaware that he was acting and became genuinely concerned about his health.
Salman explained that his own act was meant to make Qazi understand what that situation felt like from the other side. In other words, the intention was not to create a genuine health scare but to demonstrate why using someone’s health as entertainment can worry people who do not know that it is an act.
Salman Khan says the promo changed the context
The biggest issue, according to Salman, was the way the promo was edited.
The promotional clip showed only the dramatic portion of the scene. Without the surrounding context, it appeared as though Salman was actually experiencing chest pain and needed medical help.
That led to concern among fans, with many taking to social media to ask whether the actor was okay.
Salman later addressed the situation on Instagram and said the promo should not have been cut in that way because it made his action look similar to what Qazi had done. He also apologised to viewers for the confusion caused by the promo.
Bigg Boss 20 promo gets rectified
Following Salman’s clarification, the makers released a revised promo that provided more context about the incident.
The new version made it clearer that Salman had staged the apparent health scare to make a point to Qazi Touqeer rather than because he was actually unwell. Salman later acknowledged that the promo had been rectified.
This also explains why the initial clip created such a different reaction online. A short promotional video showed the shock, while the fuller context explained the reason behind the scene.
Why fans were worried
Salman Khan’s appearance on Bigg Boss has always attracted huge attention, and any unusual moment involving the actor can quickly become a major social-media topic.
In this case, the combination of Salman holding his chest, calling for a doctor and lying down on the stage made the promo look particularly serious.
Once the clip began circulating, fans naturally started discussing his health. Salman’s clarification was therefore important because it directly addressed the concern rather than leaving viewers to speculate.
Salman Khan is also talking about online trolling
The chest-pain controversy comes during a Weekend Ka Vaar episode in which Salman Khan was already speaking about another major topic online trolling.
The actor addressed the way celebrities are judged on social media, including comments about appearance and age. He also responded to trolling directed at actors and spoke about the pressure public figures face from constant online scrutiny.
That made the latest Bigg Boss 20 episode particularly conversation-heavy, with Salman at the centre of several discussions beyond the show’s regular contestant drama.
What Salman Khan’s clarification means

The main takeaway is simple: the chest-pain scene shown in the Bigg Boss 20 promo was an act, not a genuine health emergency.
Salman Khan said he was fine and explained that the scene was intended to teach Qazi Touqeer a lesson about using health-related situations for entertainment.
The controversy instead came from the way the original promo presented the moment. Without the explanation, viewers were left with the impression that Salman was actually in distress.
Now that the context has been explained and the promo has been corrected, the focus is likely to shift back to what happens next inside the Bigg Boss 20 house.
For Salman Khan, however, one Weekend Ka Vaar has once again managed to create plenty of conversation this time with a dramatic promo, a prank with a message and a clarification that fans were waiting for.
