Qazi Touqeer is once again in the spotlight for a Bigg Boss 20 controversy, and this time, Salman Khan isn't holding back his disappointment over how Qazi has dealt with the situation involving Kanika Mann.
The drama started when Qazi referred to Kanika Mann as a "lollipop" during a chat in the house. What could have been a light-hearted joke quickly escalated into a bigger issue because Qazi kept defending his comment instead of simply acknowledging that Kanika felt uncomfortable.

In the latest Weekend Ka Vaar promo, Salman directly confronts Qazi about this. His message was pretty straightforward: if something you said is taken the wrong way, sometimes the best move is to step back and apologize rather than trying to justify why you were right.

Oct 2, 2026When Kanika was asked if Qazi had apologized to her, her answer indicated that she didn’t feel the issue had been adequately addressed. Qazi attempted to clarify that he had indeed apologized, but Salman didn’t seem convinced by his explanation.
Things got even more uncomfortable when Qazi mentioned that his apology was made in a joking manner. That didn’t help his case at all. Salman pointedly asked why anyone would joke about an apology when the other person was already upset. It was a valid question, especially since the whole situation had spiraled far beyond the original comment.
What makes this controversy so intriguing is that Qazi seems to be falling into the same trap time and again. The more he tries to clarify his intentions, the more the focus shifts to his comment and how he dealt with Kanika afterward.
Often, a debate shifts away from the original statement and centers on what unfolds after someone gets hurt. Qazi has had instances where his candid nature has worked to his advantage in the house. However, this particular situation is revealing a different facet of that personality, where confidence can easily come off as stubbornness, especially when an apology is anticipated.
Salman calling him out could be a pivotal moment for Qazi. The real question is whether he’ll take the criticism to heart or keep insisting that his intentions were innocent. Inside Bigg Boss, while the intent behind a comment is significant, the way it’s received by the other person carries weight too.
For now, the Kanika Mann controversy has clearly escalated beyond just the lollipop comment. With Salman Khan stepping in, Qazi faces another opportunity to choose whether to keep defending his remark or finally let the issue fade away.
