Salman Khan is not just heating up rooms inside the Bigg Boss house; he’s throwing shade at global headlines too. During a recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19, the Bollywood superstar used his sharp wit to call out not only the contestants’ own chaotic squabbles but also made a sly jab at former US President Donald Trump’s ambitions for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The moment sparked viral buzz, proving that even amidst reality TV drama, Salman keeps one eye firmly on the world stage. In his trademark style, Salman scolded contestant Farrhana Bhatt who had been stirring trouble despite dubbing herself a “peace activist.” He questioned the irony of those spreading more turmoil while craving peace accolades. Without naming names, he said, “What’s happening globally? Those causing the most trouble want the peace prize.” This thinly veiled remark had many social media users connecting the dots to Trump’s well-publicized pursuit of the Nobel, especially considering Trump’s self-professed role as a peacemaker in thorny conflicts from Israel-Palestine to India-Pakistan.
This isn’t just a casual quip. Donald Trump has officially been nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize by various world leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as recognition for his involvement in controversial peace maneuvers like the Abraham Accords. However, these nominations have polarized opinions. Critics argue that the Nobel recognition should be reserved for sustainable peace efforts not headline-grabbing optics highlighting ongoing conflicts and fragile ceasefires under Trump’s watch.
Salman’s commentary adds a layer of satirical skepticism to this debate. Reality TV often mirrors real life, and by comparing Bigg Boss house chaos to global political unrest, Salman cleverly underscores the absurdity of awarding peace prizes amid unresolved conflicts. Viewers appreciated the spicy roast, with many fans joking that Salman “watches the news” more closely than expected and wondering if Trump might tweet a response.
Salman Khan’s take highlights a larger question: what genuinely qualifies as peacebuilding in today’s fractious world? As the Nobel Committee prepares to announce the 2025 Peace Prize winner this October, the conversation around symbolic gestures versus meaningful diplomacy remains just as relevant and as messy as a Bigg Boss eviction night.
In the end, Salman’s sharp words remind us that peace is not just about claims or nominations but about actions that truly resolve conflict. Whether on a TV set or the global stage, everyone wanting a peace prize might do well to rethink their approach before claiming the crown.
