Salman during Weekend Ka Vaar bashed housemates for not trying to stop Samarth.

He said, "It was 100 per cent Abhishek's mistake. However, it was someone else who provoked him to such an extent. Putting tissue in his mouth, covering him up with a blanket, and commenting on his father, and his mental health. Was this right?"

He then said no one tried to stop Samarth at that time.

He also asked Isha how she would have reacted if it was done to her. To this, the actress said, "I would have hit him."
