Salman Khan’s Explosive Bigg Boss Reply: ‘Get Some Work!’ to Director’s Allegations

The world of Bollywood was set ablaze this past weekend as superstar Salman Khan delivered a cryptic, yet undeniably pointed, message on the ‘Bigg Boss 19’ stage. During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode on September 27 and 28, 2025, Khan appeared to directly address the controversial claims made by ‘Dabangg’ director Abhinav Kashyap, setting off a flurry of reactions across social media and the entertainment industry.

The Unfolding Drama: Abhinav Kashyap’s Bombshell Allegations

Kashyap’s recent podcast appearances had stirred a hornet’s nest, with the director leveling serious accusations against Khan and his family. His claims included:

Undue Credit for ‘Dabangg’: Kashyap alleged that Salman Khan took credit for the blockbuster film that wasn’t rightfully his.
Project Manipulation: Accusations of interfering with and manipulating various film projects.
Family Difficulties: Creating significant obstacles for his brother, Anurag Kashyap, particularly during the making of ‘Tere Naam’.
Career Sabotage Attempts: Actively trying to derail the careers of others in the industry.
“Gunda” Label & Silence Offer: Kashyap went as far as to label Salman Khan a “gunda” (goon) and claimed he was offered a lavish flat in Burj Khalifa to ensure his silence.
Dismissing Praise as “Chamchagiri”: Kashyap also dismissed Salman’s recent praise for Anurag Kashyap’s film ‘Nishaanchi’ as mere “chamchagiri” (sycophancy), an attempt, he claimed, to silence growing criticism.

These claims created a major buzz, with fans and industry observers anticipating a response from the usually reserved superstar regarding such personal and professional attacks.

Salman’s Stinging Reply on Bigg Boss 19

During a segment that notably included a birthday celebration for ‘Bigg Boss 19’ contestant Tanya Mittal, Salman Khan seized the moment. Without naming anyone directly, his words left little doubt as to their target. Khan stated, “Those who are or were once associated with me are also being targeted these days. People I’ve had connections with — even those who once praised me — are now sitting around and saying all sorts of nonsense. These days, people go on podcasts and talk rubbish just because they don’t have any work. My request to all of you is, please, get some work.”

This powerful statement immediately resonated. Social media platforms erupted with users interpreting Khan’s comments as a clear, direct rebuttal to Kashyap’s ongoing accusations. The veiled jab about “not having any work” struck many as a particularly cutting remark, suggesting a motive of desperation behind the allegations.

The Fallout: Industry & Fan Reactions

The drama didn’t end there. In a separate development, Hindustani Bhau weighed in, publicly criticizing Abhinav Kashyap for his remarks against Salman Khan and his family, vocally defending veteran writer Salim Khan. This added another layer to the unfolding public dispute, highlighting the deep divisions and loyalties within the industry when such high-profile figures clash. The public nature of this dispute, played out on national television and popular podcasts, ensures continued scrutiny and discussion among Bollywood enthusiasts.

What’s Next for Bollywood’s Biggest Rivalries?

This public verbal sparring on one of India’s biggest reality shows underscores the intense rivalries and personal histories that often play out behind the glitz and glamour of Bollywood. The indirect nature of Salman’s response allows for deniability while sending a clear message, leaving both fans and critics to wonder what the next chapter in this high-stakes saga will bring.
