I think all of us on this forum is reading too much on the spoilers from Khabri & Bigg Boss Tok! The matter of the fact is Salman did not bash SHukla at all.. it was almost negligible for the aggressive violent person he is. All the career related topics were intended to Asim & others ... not Shukla!
Yesterday the whole forum was so happy with Salman being unbiased but all that was a PR gimmick & manipulation. I wont be surprised if those spoiler leaks were also intended to increase buzz on Twitter & get higher TRPs. Salman is still blindly favouring Shukla & Aarti giving a clear message to others than if they go against them they will be in Salman's Bad book. I suppose there must be some close relations demands or financial transaction between them.
Coming to saying things against the channel & Endemol.... it was a well planned PR strategy to get Salman out of the Unfairness allegations. Salman is too old to remember dialogues he can hardly do that on films. So the creatives were telling him what to say on mic & teleprompter. He just played along so that audience cannot blame him for biasedness.
Moral of the story.... Bigg Boss is not Big Brother. If the makers can share outside opinion & change contestants' thinking is it no longer a reality show! It is a Saas-Bahu drama.
