The latest episode of *Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar* featured host Salman Khan taking a sharp dig at actor Gaurav Khanna for his lackluster performance inside the house. Salman remarked, “Gaurav, you seem nervous playing on the front foot. In the whole week, you were visible for barely 20 minutes, blink and you’re gone.”

Streaming on JioHotstar and airing on Colors TV, the reality show continues to captivate audiences with intense drama and unexpected twists.

Salman further questioned the housemates about Gaurav’s contribution during the captaincy task. To this, Mridul Tiwari quipped, “He just clapped.”

Issuing a pointed warning to Gaurav, Salman added, “Every actor should be scared of this one word: ‘overrated hai yaar ye.’ Fans might think your footage is getting cut, but how do we tell them that you’re only not making it to the cut?”

In addition to addressing Gaurav’s performance, Salman advised Mridul Tiwari to step up his game and play independently. “You are always playing under someone’s shadow in the house. You seem to have fallen in the plus one category,” Salman noted.

Since its premiere on August 24 this year, *Bigg Boss 19* has kept viewers hooked with its dramatic twists and turns. Alongside Gaurav Khanna and Mridul Tiwari, contestants Kunickaa Sadanand, Amaal Mallik, Pranit More, Baseer Ali, and Farrhana Bhatt continue to battle it out inside the house.
