Salman Khan’s throwaway line on Bigg Boss 20 has sparked a rare public rebuke from former contestant Imam Siddique. The moment came during the October 3 Weekend Ka Vaar episode, when Salman referenced Siddique while critiquing Qazi Touqeer’s conduct — linking him to a past instance of alleged harassment. It wasn’t just a passing comment.

For Siddique, it was a reckoning. He took to social media with an open letter calling the remark ‘extremely defamatory and factually incorrect.’   He didn’t mince words. In his post, he denied ever harassing any contestant with intent to trouble. His stint on Bigg Boss 6, he reminded viewers, was about tasks, performances, and entertainment, not power plays.

He even quoted the now-viral phrase “Imam Siddique ne bhi yeh kiya tha…”. A line that once defined his season’s energy, only to see it weaponised in a new context. The backlash isn’t just about a misused quote. It’s about being dragged into a narrative without consent.

Siddique said the reference, aired before millions, damaged his reputation after 44 years in the industry. And yes, he mentioned family honour. Not theatrics. A quiet, firm demand for correction.

He ended with respect: Salman remains an elder brother in the industry. But respect doesn’t mean silence. The request is clear: clarify. Correct.

Don’t use his name again in a way that distorts truth. No official response from Salman or Bigg Boss yet. But the conversation isn’t over. Not by a long shot.

Next week’s episode will be watched closely. Not just for drama, but for accountability.
