Salman Khan Calls Kanika Mann 'Tubelight' on Bigg Boss

The Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode on November 14-15, 2026, saw host Salman Khan directly addressing Kanika Mann's inconsistent reactions to housemate remarks. Khan labeled Mann a "tubelight" after she appeared to laugh at an objectionable "naada" comment by ScoutOP, while previously taking issue with a "lollipop" joke from Qazi Touqeer. Khan explicitly backed Touqeer's questioning of Mann's perceived double standards.

This led to a fiery on-air exchange between Mann and Touqeer, with Khan intervening to question Mann's delayed objection to ScoutOP's comment. Mann's attempts to defend herself, including her raised voice, were met with a sharp warning from Khan. His sarcastic "Khursi lao" comment highlighted the prolonged nature of the explanations expected from her.

Social media reactions were divided. Many viewers praised Salman Khan's hosting and supported Qazi Touqeer's stance, while others accused Kanika Mann of hypocrisy. Some fans defended Mann, pointing out she eventually got an apology and that others also laughed at ScoutOP's remark, and criticized Khan for perceived favoritism towards Touqeer.
