Salman Khan did not mince words at an event when it came to talking about the recent Oscar controversy wherein Oscar winner Will Smith slapped host Chris Rock over a joke about wife Jada Pinkett Smith's hair. The Bollywood superstar, who has been seen as a host of Bigg Boss and Dus Ka Dum, said that 'humour below the belt is not okay at all' and went on to justify his anger on some of the contestants on Bigg Boss.

Talking about responsible hosting, Salman said, "People, as hosts, have to be sensitive. The humour should be above the belt. Humour below the belt is not okay at all. I have hosted so many shows like Dus Ka Dum, Bigg Boss. Only when someone is misbehaving with someone else, I get slightly angry with them. When we host a show, we should remember we are doing it for people who are watching the show. If someone is being bullied, then you have to be there for the person being bullied. So, if on Bigg Boss, you see me reacting in a certain way, it is because behind the scenes too much has happened and I have to react. The show is on television, so you can’t show the kind of cuss words they use or the way they talk at times. So, at times people have felt that I have overreacted but it is never like that. It has always been that only after they cross all limits of ‘badtameezi’ that I react the way I do. I talk to them several times before I blast them off."
Not just this, Salman went on to call some recent BB contestants as unprofessional as well. "I am the host of that house. They are coming to my house. I am not their family member. Neither am I their teacher or principal. Once a while I lose it, not just lose it, I do the right thing. So I react that way, but after a few episodes, I do get back to normal. I react. I tell them. I finish it. I don’t have anything personal against them. Last couple of seasons, contestants think they know what they have to do in the house. They should understand that once they are out of the house, nobody in the film industry wants to work with someone who is abusive, bad-mouthed and unprofessional," the actor shared.
Salman Khan is seen as the host of Bigg Boss. He has hosted a majority of seasons of the controversial reality show. Even though he is loved as the host of the show, there are many times that his comments have come under the scanner, making some remark that he is 'biased' and 'unfair' as a host.
