Salman Khan confronted Rhiti Tiwari, daughter of actor-politician Manoj Tiwari, during the latest Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
The host questioned Rhiti over her language and behaviour during a recent diss battle involving Qazi Touqeer and Uditi Singh. The confrontation had already become a major talking point inside the house after Rhiti made personal and derogatory remarks during the task.
Salman told Rhiti that her conduct could also affect how audiences perceive her father outside the show.
Why Did Salman Khan Reprimand Rhiti Tiwari?
The controversy began during a captaincy task in which contestants were divided into teams and asked to participate in a diss battle.
During the confrontation, Rhiti directed personal comments towards Uditi, while Qazi intervened. The argument escalated, and Rhiti also threatened Qazi by referring to her father.
She later defended her comments, saying that her remarks came during an emotional and vulnerable moment. Salman, however, questioned why Qazi should be blamed for the success and attention he had received on the show.
Salman Brings Up Manoj Tiwari’s Bigg Boss 4 Journey
To explain his point, Salman Khan brought up Manoj Tiwari’s appearance on Bigg Boss 4.
Manoj was a contestant on the fourth season, where his clashes with Dolly Bindra became one of the memorable parts of that season. Salman recalled how Manoj handled those confrontations and contrasted that with Rhiti’s behaviour during the current season.
Salman then delivered the line that quickly became the highlight of the episode: “You are Manoj Tiwari’s daughter, not Dolly Bindra’s.”
The remark was made while Salman was explaining that Rhiti should consider the example set by her father rather than responding to conflicts with the same aggressive approach that had become associated with Dolly’s Bigg Boss stint.
Salman Questions Rhiti’s ‘Rockstar’ Claim
The host also addressed Rhiti’s description of herself as a rockstar.
Salman argued that the label should come from audiences and achievements rather than from a contestant describing herself that way. He used Qazi’s journey as an example, pointing to the singer’s earlier struggles and his experience of fighting through professional setbacks.
Rhiti responded that she was still young and at the beginning of her career. She also explained that she had been trying to establish herself professionally for several years and that her father had told her he would not build her career for her.
Salman Says Rhiti’s Behaviour Could Affect Her Father
Another major point raised by Salman was Rhiti’s family connection.
He reminded her that Manoj Tiwari is now a politician and said her actions on the reality show could have an impact beyond the Bigg Boss house. Salman also referred to Manoj’s reputation for remaining composed during his own conflicts on the show.
According to reports, Salman told Rhiti that he did not believe her father would support the threatening behaviour she had displayed towards Qazi.
Salman Defends Qazi Touqeer’s Journey
Salman also spoke about Qazi Touqeer’s journey, particularly his earlier experience in a singing reality show.
He said Qazi had faced challenges and criticism but had continued moving forward. Salman used this history to explain why he considered Qazi’s journey an example of someone earning recognition through perseverance.
The host also questioned Rhiti’s claim that Qazi was responsible for her lack of opportunities, asking why she should hold another contestant responsible for her own journey.
Uditi Singh Also Gets Salman’s Support
The Weekend Ka Vaar discussion also brought attention to Uditi Singh’s response during the controversy.
Salman praised Uditi for the way she handled the uncomfortable situation and criticised what he described as the excessive nature of the remarks made during the diss battle.
The episode therefore became more than a confrontation between Salman and Rhiti, as it also addressed the wider dispute involving Rhiti, Qazi and Uditi.
Rhiti Tiwari Apologises After Salman’s Intervention
Following Salman’s discussion, Rhiti Tiwari apologised for her behaviour.
She expressed regret to Qazi and Uditi and also apologised to Salman, the other contestants and viewers. Rhiti said that she would try to control her anger and be more careful about her language going forward.
Her apology came after Salman repeatedly urged her to reflect on her behaviour and change her approach if she wanted to establish herself in the industry.
Dolly Bindra’s Bigg Boss 4 Connection Returns
Salman’s reference to Dolly Bindra also brought back memories of Bigg Boss 4, which aired around 16 years ago.
Dolly and Manoj Tiwari had several tense interactions during that season. Salman used that history to make a broader point to Rhiti about how contestants handle disagreements inside the Bigg Boss house.
The unexpected comparison quickly became one of the most discussed moments from the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode.
Bigg Boss 20 Controversy Continues
The Rhiti Tiwari episode has added another major confrontation to Bigg Boss 20. Salman’s intervention addressed the language used during the diss battle, the accusations exchanged between contestants and the way personal conflicts were escalating inside the house.
For Rhiti, the episode ended with an apology after a lengthy conversation with Salman. Whether her approach changes in the coming episodes remains part of her ongoing Bigg Boss 20 journey.
