Bigg Boss: Contestants who did not get along with Salman Khan

TV's most controversial reality show, Bigg Boss, is in its season 8 which seems to be picking up with fights and entertainment galore! With contestants coming from all walks of life, there are bound to be clashes and this time too, there are few who don't seem to get along too well with the show's host, Salman Khan. Even previously, there were contestants who seemed to upset the host and vice-versa. We take you through some of the celebs (in their own right) who did not seem to gel well with Salman.

Karishma Tanna: Of the few episodes of Bigg Boss 8 that have been aired so far, all doesn't seem to be well between Salman Khan and Karishma Tanna. Salman seemed to reprimand her for taking advantage of Gautam Gulati's situation when he profusely apologised to her for abusing her on the show. In spite of all his efforts, Karishma seemed relentless and this seemed to irk Salman who spoke with Karishma in the Bigg Boss room. He seemed to be upset with the actress who refused to forgive Gautam even after he tried touching her feet to apologise. Seems like Karishma has a long road ahead and a lot to learn if she wants to survive in the Bigg Boss house.

Kushal Tandon: Bigg Boss 7 was full of interesting twists and turns, entries and exits. With an eclectic mix of contestants, clashes are bound to happen and this season was no exception. But perhaps the person who tested Salman's patience the most seemed to be model-turned-actor Kushal Tandon. When Kushal hurled some abuses at Kajol's younger sister and fellow housemate Tanishaa, Salman did not take it easy. His dislike for Kushal seemed all too obvious. After Kushal made his dramatic exit from the show mid-way, Salman was all the more irked when he returned. He even took Kushal's case saying that if he (Salman Khan) had exited, then he wouldn't return ever. But what seemed to add fuel to the fire was when Kushal apparently told everyone in the outside world that Salman Khan had apologised to him. Salman made it a point to show his displeasure and since then.

Imam Siddique: Fashion and image consultant, Imam Siddiqui seemed to have his favourite 'irritate Salman Khan' moments on Bigg Boss 6. Imam rubbed Salman the wrong way and the duo had their fair share of arguments on national television. Salman was apparently irritated with Imam for flouting the rules in the Bigg Boss house. Sources were quoted telling NDTV that during one of the weekend shoots, Salman was angry with Imam and even told him he would come to the Bigg Boss house and beat him up. He also scolded Imam for speaking rubbish. The report further states that even though Imam apologised profusely, Salman refused to accept the apologies. This sure seemed to spice up season 6 and Imam too refused to budge from his stance.

Sapna Bhavnani: The celebrity stylist had her share of verbal fights with host Salman Khan on season 6 of Bigg Boss. Sapna had made some unpleasant remarks against Salman and he retorted by saying that the Bigg Boss house was not a resort and that people had come to win the game. Sapna replied by saying that she had come to promote women's issues on the show. Apparently, most of the comments made by her against Salman were edited. Salman certainly didn't seem in the mood to forget what had transpired with Sapna and she in turn, took on one of Bollywood's most Dabangg Khans.

Shakti Kapoor: The villain of Bollywood surprised one and all when he chose to be a part of the controversial reality show Bigg Boss in the season 5. When Shakti Kapoor first entered the Bigg Boss house, he was the only male contestant amongst all the women. At that time, Salman Khan was co-hosting the show with Sanjay Dutt and although the duo did not verbally fight with Shakti, the latter felt insulted. According to his interview in a daily, the actor was quoted saying, "Salman Khan owes me an apology! Firstly, he and Sanjay Dutt didn’t greet me, whereas they had accorded this courtesy to all the inmates. And then Salman said, ‘Bigg Boss ko maan na padega! Shakti Kapoor jaise logon ko apne ghar bulaya, hum toh kabhi na bulayen!' I would like to tell him that even if he invites me to his house, I may not want to go there! He made those scathing remarks without any provocation, so he has to say sorry!” But of course no apology was rendered by the two stars and Shakti Kapoor had no choice but to move on.

Siddharth Bharadwaj: Apart from Shakti Kapoor, VJ and actor Siddharth Bharadwaj too seemed to irk Salman on the show's fifth season. When Siddharth had a fight with fellow housemate Mahek Chahel, Salman did not take it too kindly and stood up for her. But Siddharth was not the only one who locked horns with Salman. Shakti Kapoor and Pooja Bedi, who also were contestants in season 5, seemed to irk the actor. Shakti was angry because Salman and Sanjay Dutt had not introduced him on the show and Shakti Kapoor took this as an opportunity to accuse Salman of favouring Mahek. Even Pooja Bedi went on record to lambaste Mahek and Salman. According to her interview with truthdive.com, the actress was quoted saying, "No one can object to her (Mahek) behaviour because then he or she gets portrayed negatively. Everyone in the house thinks Salman is calling the shots. They are unnerved. I like Salman! I’d be very distressed if he was protecting and helping Mehak get into the finals."
