It all started during Diwali week, in the latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode. In a casual chat with music composer Amaal Mallik, Shehbaz confidently said, "Mujhe Bigg Boss ke nomination me ane do, dekhte hain fir kya hota hai." To this, Amaal replied, "Ayenge sab..." But it was Shehbaz's next line that triggered an online uproar: "Sidharth ke fan baithe hain bahar mere saath. Jo winner hai na iss show ka, mere saath fan following baithi hai uski."
