On a lively Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19, host Salman Khan once again reminded viewers why his stage presence remains a highlight of the show. In a standout moment that has since gone viral, Salman mimicked contestant Nehal Chudasama’s gestures and expressions during a house task — and fans are loving it.
What began as a standard task quickly turned into an entertaining highlight. During the episode, housemates were asked to give a thumbs up or thumbs down to fellow contestants based on their performance. When Nehal stepped up to argue in favour of Baseer Ali’s game, Salman interrupted, quipping that she had thrown water on Baseer earlier — and asked what had changed in her view. As Nehal defended her stance, Salman raised his eyebrows and began mimicking her hand gestures and intonation, eliciting laughter from the house and cheers from the live audience.
On social media, the airwaves lit up with fans applauding Salman’s playful host mode. Many remarks noted that the actor appeared to be “in mood” — energised, avoiding the fatigued demeanour some viewers had flagged in recent episodes. One user wrote, “Salman, please keep eating whatever you’ve been eating this past week. This is the best version of you we’ve seen so far.” Another added: “After BB 13, I’m seeing this spark back in Salman.”
The moment was more than just comedic relief; it chimes with a subtle shift in the show’s tone. Salman’s mimicry of Nehal came after a week of intense discussions in the house — and after widespread criticism of his earlier host style in this season. His satirical dig at Nehal’s earlier task move and the ensuing laughter seemed to restore a familiarity that many long-time fans had missed: the sharp, spontaneous host who keeps the mood light while holding contestants accountable.
In addition to Nehal’s mimicry moment, the episode also featured a shock double-eviction. Contestants Baseer Ali and Nehal Chudasama were both shown the eliminated card in a twist that surprised not just the housemates but viewers alike. The elimination added fuel to the fire, with social media buzzing over unexpected exits.
For Nehal, who has previously faced tough moments on the show — including being called out by Salman for her “Kapde pehen ke aana” comment by Malti Chahar — the mimicry interlude may have offered a lighter spotlight. Meanwhile, for Salman, the scene seems to signal a regained confidence in handling his role as host — blending humor and strictness with an ease that fans say has “returned.”
Entertainment analysts suggest that such moments are essential for reality shows like Bigg Boss 19, where host-contestant dynamics can sway viewer engagement significantly. “Salman’s energy sets the tone,” one observer noted. “When he’s in full form, the house feels alive and the audience responds.” The mimicry episode may have done just that, injecting fresh life into the season at a critical juncture.
What stands out is how instantaneous social-media reaction was. Just hours after the episode aired, countless memes and short clips surfaced showing Salman’s face, Nehal’s gestures, and the laugh track synchronized with the mimicry. The clip has been widely shared on Instagram reels and YouTube shorts, proving that host moments can generate as much viral buzz as contestant drama.
At press time, neither Salman nor Nehal has publicly commented on the mimicry clip itself. However, the response from viewers suggests they are happy to simply witness Salman back in “the mood” they associate with his big-screen and Bigg Boss persona.
For Bigg Boss 19, the episode may be remembered not only for the eviction twist, but also for the moment Salman reclaimed his host rhythm — light-hearted, in control, and unmistakably Salman. If nothing else, it serves as a reminder that while contestants may drift and alliances shift, the host remains the constant curtain-raiser of chaos and commentary.
