Neha Dhupia took a moment on the latest episode of Bigg Boss 20 to publicly applaud Salman Khan for his firm stance against the invasive photography culture surrounding Bollywood actresses. Appearing on the show alongside fellow Roadies Rising gang leaders Abhishek Malhan, Prince Narula, and Rannvijay Singha, Neha expressed that she had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to thank the superstar for using his massive influence to address the issue of privacy.
During the episode, Neha lauded the actor for his powerful voice and his ability to command public attention, noting that his words carry significant weight. “You are such a great voice, sir; thank you for saying all those things. You know there are very few voices that can reach as many people as you can. When you say it, it makes the world listen,” she remarked, acknowledging that his intervention was a necessary step in demanding accountability from those who capture inappropriate angles of women in the industry.
This praise stems from a previous Weekend Ka Vaar episode where Salman Khan lashed out at paparazzi for photographing heroines from behind without their consent. The actor had openly questioned the ethics of such practices, pointing out that even his own family members had been subjected to these uncomfortable shots, which are often circulated online with speculative captions. He emphasized that while some may be comfortable, the majority of women find the practice highly intrusive and disrespectful.
Beyond the emotional exchange between Neha and Salman, the Bigg Boss 20 house also saw a major shake-up with the arrival of its first wildcard contestant. Television veteran Manish Goel, recently seen in the hit show Anupamaa, stepped into the house to stir up the competition. Bringing over two decades of industry experience with him, Goel wasted no time in sharing his perspective and strategic advice with the current contestants as the game intensifies.
