Bigg Boss 19 delivered a tense and headline-worthy moment during its grand finale when host Salman Khan publicly addressed former contestant Baseer Ali’s remarks made outside the show. The exchange unfolded on stage in front of the finalists and the live audience, immediately becoming one of the most discussed highlights of the night.
Salman opened the segment by directly confronting Baseer about comments he had made after his eviction. According to Salman, Baseer had spoken against the makers, the show’s format, and even Salman himself. The host stated that while criticism is a contestant’s choice, doing so after receiving a major platform like Bigg Boss reflects poorly on the individual rather than the production.
Salman also pointed out that the show had been careful with certain sensitive content involving Baseer.
He noted that discussions around Baseer’s sexuality and other statements that could have caused significant controversy were intentionally handled with restraint. Salman emphasised that if Bigg Boss had chosen to air those conversations in full, the impact on Baseer’s public image could have been far more damaging.
Baseer attempted to defend his comments by saying he had only expressed what he felt. Salman responded that speaking emotionally does not justify speaking irresponsibly.
The host remarked that such negativity often harms a contestant’s long-term prospects with production houses, as no team wants to associate with someone who openly discredits the platform they were part of. He reminded Baseer that he had earlier complained about not receiving enough attention on the show, but that dissatisfaction does not justify attacking the format publicly.
The confrontation was firm but measured, with Salman underlining that Bigg Boss had amplified Baseer’s visibility and reach. He urged the former contestant to be more sensible going forward, suggesting that public criticism of the makers could narrow future opportunities in the industry.
