MUMBAI: It was during Bigg Boss Season 8 that model-turned-actress Sonali Raut made headlines not for her tasks or alliances but for a fiery altercation that brought her face-to-face with none other than Salman Khan and the makers of the show themselves.

Sonali, who entered the house as one of the more glamorous and outspoken contestants, quickly made a name for herself with her bold attitude and no-nonsense approach. However, things took a dramatic turn when she reportedly crossed the line with her behaviour, leading to a tense moment with the show's host, Salman Khan.

During one of the weekend episodes usually reserved for light-hearted banter and elimination drama Sonali shocked viewers and fellow contestants by showing visible defiance towards Salman’s remarks.

In a throwback video, one can see how Sonali is upset with the makers as they didn’t send the finale clothes and make up for her and hence she doesn’t speak to Salman in a right way.

She tells him whatever I don’t care, they didn’t send me clothes or make up a couple of times because people have made fun of me and I don’t care. It's the finale. I have dressed up and come.

Her actions didn’t go unnoticed. Social media was ablaze with mixed reactions while some lauded her for standing her ground, the majority criticised her for lacking basic courtesy and decorum, especially in the presence of someone as senior and respected as Salman Khan.

Bigg Boss, known for its unpredictable twists and high-voltage confrontations, had certainly witnessed plenty of drama over the years. Yet Sonali’s controversial moment remains one of the standout instances when a contestant openly challenged the authority of both the host and the format.

Although Sonali continued to appear on the show following the episode, her stint never quite recovered from the fallout. The incident not only impacted her journey inside the house but also left a lasting impression on viewers, who still recall the confrontation as one of the boldest moments in Bigg Boss history.

Years later, fans still look back at Season 8 as one of the most explosive editions largely thanks to Sonali’s unfiltered persona and her unforgettable clash with Salman Khan.
