Controversies

Relation To Haseena Parkar

Reportedly, Zubair Khan claimed to be the son-in-law of underworld don, Dawood Ibrahim‘s sister, Haseena Parkar. While he was on Bigg Boss 11, he claimed that it was Haseena Parkar and her family who forced him to marry their daughter. Zubair stated that he wanted people to know him for his work and not because of his relations with the family of Dawood Ibrahim. ^[1]Financial Express Later on, reports emerged whereby Zubair claimed that he was not related to Haseena Parkar in any way and further said that the name of his mother-in-law is Noor Jahan. ^[2]Hindustan Times He said in an interview that it was just a misunderstanding that a news article created.

He further stated that he had never claimed to be related to Haseena Parkar and that Colors TV and other media channels had misused his name. He also spoke about how his in-laws used to threaten him by saying they were connected to Dawood Ibrahim.

FIR Against Salman Khan

Salman Khan had confronted and shouted at Zubair Khan due to his behaviour on the show. He had asked Zubair to stop claiming to be the son-in-law of Haseena Parkar (Dawood Ibrahim‘s sister). He also criticised Zubair for using foul language and called him a nalla (useless) don during the first “Weekend ka Vaar” episode.

Zubair further faced negative comments for disrespecting the female contestants and calling co-contestant Arshi Khan a “2 rupees woman”. When Zubair tried to apologise, Salman said,

Tu Mujhe Bhai-waai nahi bolega. Kasam Khuda ki, tujhe kutta na bana diya toh mera naam Salman Khan nahi (Don’t call me bhai. I swear to God, that if I don’t make you a dog, my name is not Salman Khan).”

Zubair was eliminated from the show in the first week. Allegedly, Zubair had faced health issues which was why he had to leave Bigg Boss to get hospitalised. However, Salman announced that Zubair’s eviction was due to receiving the least number of votes, even though Zubair was still at the hospital during the filming of the show. He went on to file an FIR (First Information Report) against Salman Khan for threatening him. He alleged that Salman Khan threatened that he wouldn’t leave him alone once he left the Bigg Boss house and that he would spoil his name in the industry. It was reported that Zubair filed the complaint at Antop Hill Police Station, Mumbai.

During an interview in 2023, Zubair started crying and said that Salman Khan had ruined his life. ^[3]YouTube – Viralbollywood

Overdose Of Sleeping Pills

Due to the controversies surrounding Zubair Khan’s participation in Bigg Boss, he stated that he received death threats. He also stated that he was facing pressure from his in-laws and he was convinced that his eviction came because his in-laws contacted the channel (Colors TV) and Salman Khan. His reason was that Salman and his in-laws had used the same kind of language against him. Zubair revealed that he had carried sleeping pills into the Bigg Boss house on account of his depression. After being shouted at by Salman Khan and not receiving support from his co-contestants, Zubair asked to leave the show. Allegedly, the creative team refused to let him go and Zubair took an overdose of his sleeping pills to get out of the house. Zubair maintains that he got out of the house only due to medical complications and not because of the number of votes, as Salman Khan announced.
