Reality show 'Bigg Boss 7' has created a war zone between two camps.

But there also appears to be a war brewing between host Salman Khan and contestant Gauhar Khan.

The weekend episode has Salman bashing contestants but most prominent among them was Gauhar Khan. Salman's equation with the actress has gone for a toss ever since the Kushal-Tanisha-Andy episode and became worse with Kushal's exit.

But these 'Gauhar bashing' episodes have given our Salman 'Dabangg' Khan new tags of being 'unfair', 'partial' and showing 'favouritism'.

After all the negative publicity this season has brought, Salman is now upset.

He has been bombarded with angry tweets, comments and media reports for being too harsh on Gauhar Khan and covering up Tanisha Mukherjee's misdemeanours.

The actor took to Twitter to vent his frustration and asked fans to stop watching the scandalous reality show.

He tweeted, “BB fans who don’t like Saturday and Sunday episodes, please don’t waste your time sure u have v imp things to do. Elections coming up do vote. Seriously if you don’t like please don’t watch, even if 1 family member does not like it the rest should respect that n change the channel.”

Salman took his time to give a long explanation and wrote, "If there is something that bothers you, makes you uncomfortable, don't like then don't do, be a part or see it. It’s the best, most simple solution. It's ok that some people have not liked BB7. Each one is entitled to their opinions so no point in you guys fighting like BB7 on twitter.

"The format of the show is such that every week the games to win get complicated, contestants get upset, fans hurt but this is the show. It's very complicated dealing with self-respect, egos, anger, games, language, lies, drama, nominations, evictions. Every day it teaches you. Sometime what to do, how to react and what never to do. It’s really tough and scary for the contestants inside mentally and physically.

"Think it’s the toughest show to do and host specially if you get attached to the show, contestants and channel, it's not scripted it's reality. The reason I tweeted is because you guys are watching it, enjoying it, most important that you are closely following it."

So what are the accusations against Salman Khan?

First, fans feel that the star is being biased towards friends Tanishaa Mukherji and Armaan Kohli. Tanisha physically abused Kushal but no action was taken against her. Whereas, when Kushal got into a scuffle with Andy he was eliminated from the show.

When Gauhar makes personal comments she is reprimanded but when Tanisha continuously jibes at others or makes fun of Gauhar's medical condition she is let off with a light warning.

This weekend Salman castigated Gauhar for being vocal; he brushed aside her arguments. The actor also questioned Gauhar for calling Elli Avram “just a face”. Salman gave his own version of what Gauhar might have meant when she called Elli "just a face".

Armaan is often seen throwing up abuses at every member of the house going too personal at times. This weekend Salman asked Armaan to control his temper - that's it.

After Kushal Tandon was thrown out of the Bigg Boss house, Salman never let an opportunity go by without bringing him up and cementing the fact that the TV actor is wrong, that he is not eligible for re-entry.

Salman's fondness with contestant Elli Avram has also raised many eyebrows. That's probably because Elli reminds Salman of his ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif.

Though fans are upset with Salman Khan and ‘Unfair Salman’ has been trending, it has no effect on the superstar.

He dismisses all the reservations expressed by his fans and wants people to stop watching Bigg Boss.

Can Salman afford to offend his fans for his friends?
