Bigg Boss 16: Sajid Khan's Stand-Up Set Triggers Shalin Bhanot

Sajid Khan revealed that Shalin Bhanot had called him, before the show, and said that he is like Farah Khan's brother

The second day in the Bigg Boss 16 house started on a chirpy note, with the housemates waking up to a peppy song (in the signature Bigg Boss style). But soon, the mood turned glum because of the first nominations round. It also sparked an argument between Sajid Khan and Shalin Bhanot. The television actor had nominated Sajid Khan for the elimination round. When the filmmaker learned about this, he took a sly dig at Shalin Bhanot. Sajid Khan revealed that Shalin Bhanot had called him, before the show, and said that he is like Farah Khan's brother. But contrary to what he said outside the show, Shalin Bhanot was among the first ones to nominate him, said Sajid Khan. 

“Tune mujhe phone kar ke kaha tha (you had called me and said) that ‘Farah [Khan] is my sister, we are one family.' So, you do that (nominate) to a family?” asked Sajid Khan to Shalin Bhanot when the duo were sitting in the garden area with others. The Naagin actor kept on justifying that he nominated Sajid Khan because that's how this game is played an d to him, every other person in the house is a “contender.” To this, Sajid Khan said, “But then why did you say that Farah is like your sister?” Shalin Bhanot then replied, “Because I know sir you won't be leaving this show based on my nomination.” 

Shalin Bhanot added that if they are in a game, he would love to support the one who needs the prize money over Sajid Khan, who already has “all” (fame and money). The director called his opinion the “nicest and the most stupid thing” he has heard till now. But the debate didn't end there.
