Pakistani RJ Apologises to Katrina Kaif After Salman Khan Slams Trolls

Pakistani RJ Dr Ejaz Waris has issued a public apology for trolling Katrina Kaif over her post-pregnancy weight gain, after Salman Khan strongly criticised body shaming on Bigg Boss 20. The Katrina Kaif body shaming controversy took a new turn when the host’s remarks on Weekend Ka Vaar prompted the RJ to reconsider his comments.

Waris had targeted the actor’s looks following her appearance at the Ambani Ganesh Chaturthi celebration. After Salman raised the issue on the reality show, the RJ shared a video and a written note on social media. He said he reflected on his words and realised they may have hurt Katrina and many of her fans, insisting that body shaming was never his intention. He also apologised to Salman and anyone else who felt offended, adding that words sometimes come out wrong.

Salman Khan Calls Out Trolls on Bigg Boss 20

Salman displayed a fierce side during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode, criticising trolls who mocked Katrina’s appearance. He stressed that weight gain after pregnancy is perfectly normal and urged people to respect her personal life. His stand struck a chord with viewers and quickly gained traction online.

Waris described his remarks as a light-hearted joke made for attention, saying he had “just joked a bit for the hook.” His apology, however, suggests the backlash made him rethink how his comments landed.

Celebrities and Fans Back Katrina Kaif

Support for Katrina poured in from several quarters. Celebrities including Ali Zafar backed her, while online audiences applauded Salman for defending her. Many social media users welcomed his message.

The episode shows how quickly online mockery can cross borders, and how a high-profile voice can push people to reflect on their words. Whether or not the apology settles the matter, the wider conversation about respecting women’s bodies after pregnancy continues.
