Fans of Bigg Boss 15 contestant Pratik Sehajpal are trending the hashtag ‘Stay Strong Pratik’ on Twitter after he was slammed by host Salman Khan during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode. 

Pratik found himself embroiled in several fights and controversies during the first week of Bigg Boss 15. However, the one episode that caused quite a stir was when he broke a bathroom lock while co-contestant Vidhi Pandya was taking a bath. And, when one of the contestants asked Pratik if he would have done the same thing given his mother or sister were inside the bathroom, he replied, “Yes.”

This did not go down too well with Salman, who slammed Pratik for the same. 

“Pratik, you are looking like a fool. If someone says even if my mother or sister were in the washroom and I would have still done it for the game, so game is above mother and sister? Had Vidhi wanted, she would have thrashed you,” Salman told Pratik. 

Salman also hinted that he wouldn’t have tolerated it if it were his sister in place of Vidhi.

After the promo of the episode was released, Pratik’s fans showed their support for their favourite contestant and started trending ‘Stay Strong Pratik’ on Twitter. 

“Thank you for breaking a confidence of a young boy, who is giving his everything to the show. STAY STRONG PRATIK,” one person commented.

“Hope pratik listen to salman ‘s advice and perform better in next week!! Then no one can stop him… Rooting for PRATIK SEHAJPAL STAY STRONG PRATIK,” another person wrote.

“Really wrong of Salman Khan to say that Pratik Shehajpal won’t grow in life after the show and he won’t get any work.. this is how celebs treat artist who are doing their level best to rise up. STAY STRONG PRATIK,” another fan tweeted.
