Even though a dispute on the Bigg Boss 15 show was addressed by host Salman Khan, netizens are of the opinion that the actor did not give it the attention it warranted. Khan faced the wrath of netizens who felt he did not chide a participant who apparently made an Islamophobic comment. In a war of words against participants Umar Riaz and Simba Nagpal, the latter reportedly abused Umar Riaz. While Khan addressed the issue, and Nagpal was even penalised, fans felt he had shown bias. “Shame on [the channel] for cleverly muting the part where bimba called #UmarRiaz atankwadi, and Salman didn’t even discuss the matter,” wrote one user. Another user tweeted, “Being a fan of Salman Khan, it pains me to see the way the makers of #BB15, hand him over a scripted pitch which holds no truth.” The actor was accused of showcasing bias towards Nagpal for suggesting that his actions were justified since Riaz instigated him.
