RJ Ejaz Waris Says He Regrets His Remarks
The RJ maintained that body-shaming was never his intention and explained that he had made the remark casually while creating a hook for a video about celebrity couples at the Ambani Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. However, he admitted that his words came across differently and caused hurt. Waris also apologised to Salman Khan and others who were offended by his comments. He described both Salman and Katrina as favourites and called Katrina a “superstar of India.”

During Bigg Boss 20, Salman spoke about the trolling faced by celebrities over their appearance and specifically addressed criticism aimed at women after pregnancy. Without naming Katrina directly, he questioned why people troll someone for gaining weight after pregnancy. Salman pointed out that pregnancy can lead to weight gain and said Katrina should be allowed to spend time with her family before returning to films and getting back in shape.

His remarks came amid social-media criticism of Katrina following her appearance at the Ambani Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. In his apology, Waris said watching Salman discuss the issue made him reflect on his own remarks. He insisted that he was not apologising simply because he was afraid of backlash, but because he genuinely felt he had made a mistake.

The controversy has once again brought attention to the criticism celebrities face over their bodies and appearances, particularly women after pregnancy. Katrina has not publicly responded to the RJ’s apology in the reports reviewed. The apology has now added another twist to the controversy, with Ejaz Waris saying he had been carrying a sense of guilt over his remarks after seeing Salman Khan address the issue on Bigg Boss 20. He also clarified that he was a fan of both Salman and Katrina and claimed the controversial comment was made casually while trying to create a hook for his video.
