In the latest weekend episode of Bigg Boss OTT Season 2, the renowned Bollywood actor, Salman Khan, made his customary appearance to interact with the contestants. However, it wasn't just his presence that caught the viewers' attention. Salman Khan, known for his distinctive style, sported a blue faded shirt paired with black pants on the show.

The viral photo captured Salman Khan holding a white object resembling a cigarette in his hand. As soon as this image began circulating online, netizens seized the opportunity to criticize the actor. The incident sparked a heated debate, leaving many questioning the authenticity of the photo and speculating on its implications.

The primary concern among the internet users was whether the object in Salman Khan's hand was indeed a cigarette. The photo became a topic of discussion on various platforms, particularly Reddit, where users expressed their disdain for what they deemed a display of hypocrisy. It is worth noting that Salman Khan had previously reprimanded contestants Zeeshan Hadi and Akanksha Puri for their behavior during a kissing task, emphasizing the importance of upbringing, family values, and culture. Consequently, users were quick to highlight the apparent discrepancy between Salman Khan's on-screen lectures and his alleged smoking act.

This must be punished!"

The incident provoked further criticism directed at the show's editors. Several users questioned whether they too were smoking, as they seemingly failed to remove the footage of Salman Khan smoking during the live broadcast of Bigg Boss OTT. This raised concerns about the attention to detail and professionalism of the show's production team.
