Fatima Sana Shaikh Praises Salman Khan for Addressing Online Trolls

Fatima Sana Shaikh has praised Salman Khan for addressing online trolling and speaking up on issues surrounding body-shaming and age-shaming. The actor, who will appear on the upcoming Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode to promote her web series Hunkkaar: The Roar, told Salman that his position as a prominent actor allows his words to have a wider impact.

In a promo for Sunday's episode, Fatima brings up Salman’s comments from the previous Weekend Ka Vaar. She tells the host that she wanted to speak about the way he responded to trolls and how his decision to address the issue publicly could influence people.

Fatima Sana Shaikh stated in Hindi, translated in the promo context, that his response to trolls is a huge thing because when someone in his position takes a stand on such issues, it leaves a lasting impact on people.

The promo does not reveal Salman’s response to Fatima’s comments. Her remarks follow Salman's previous episode where he addressed trolling regarding his appearance, age, personal life, paparazzi culture, and the online targeting of women, including comments about women's bodies after having children.

Bigg Boss airs on Colors TV and streams on JioHotstar.
