Salman Khan breaks down on Bigg Boss 20 after Mohit Chauhan sings a song written by his father Salim Khan. The Diwali special episode also features heated exchanges between Gaurav Gupta, Love Gill, and Scout OP.
Salman Khan was visibly shaken on Bigg Boss 20 after playback singer Mohit Chauhan performed a song written by his father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, during the Diwali special episode. The moment unfolded in the Weekend Ka Vaar segment, where Chauhan made a surprise appearance as a guest, arriving with a tribute that quickly turned intimate.
He began by expressing admiration for Salman, calling himself a fan — but then added, ‘But I’m an even bigger fan of your father.’ The line landed with quiet weight. Chauhan then sang ‘Mujhe Tumse Mohabbat Hai, Magar Main Kah Nahi Sakta’, a 1963 track from the film Bachpan, composed by Salim Khan before he transitioned into writing.
As the melody filled the room, Salman’s composure faltered. He wiped his eyes, jaw tight, voice breaking as he whispered ‘Thankyou Sir’ to Chauhan. The other housemates sat in silence, some turning away, others blinking rapidly. The clip spread fast across social media, with viewers dubbing it one of the most emotional moments in the season’s run.
The performance wasn’t just nostalgic, it was personal. Salim Khan, who made his acting debut in 1960 with Baaraat, had long since stepped back from the screen to focus on storytelling, leaving behind a legacy that still echoes through Bollywood. Chauhan, known for hits like ‘Tum Se Hi’ from Jab We Met and ‘Sadda Haq’ from Rockstar, brought his signature depth to the tribute, his voice carrying the lyrics with reverence.
The Diwali special also featured comedian Gaurav Gupta, whose roast took a sharp turn when he referenced the massage incident involving Love Gill and Scout OP. Love Gill reacted strongly, walking away mid-joke. Scout OP joined her, criticizing the remark as inappropriate. The exchange sparked tension, overshadowing the lighter tone of the rest of the evening.
Karan Johar and Shanaya Kapoor also appeared, adding star power to the night, but no moment matched the gravity of the father-son tribute. The show continues its final stretch: Roheed Khan, Isha Rikhi, Riti Tiwari, Aman Gandhi, and Mary Kom have already been evicted. Asif Khan left last week. Manish Goel, the wild card entrant, is now the likely next nominee.
Bigg Boss 20 airs daily at 9 pm on JioHotstar and 10:30 pm on Colors. The emotional resonance of the night lingers, not just in the tears, but in what they revealed about the cost of legacy, the weight of memory, and the unspoken bonds that shape a man like Salman Khan.
