A lot of celebrities came out in support for Modi’s direct fight to black money, and corruption, few of them being Rajinikanth , Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Karan Johar, Anushka Sharma, Rishi Kapoor among others, and now Salman Khan.

He said while hosing the Bigg Boss Weekend ka Vaar episode,  “Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes have been banned to curb black money...Salute Modiji for your initiative,” said Salman while hosting the Bigg Boss Weekend Ka Vaar episode which went on air on Saturday.  He further said, “I was in Hong Kong when Modiji announced this.  I have some cash in hand, I have few Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes lying with me. I will soon get them exchanged from the bank.”

The discontinuation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes overnight left the country in frenzy as everyone queued up outside ATMs and banks to either get their money exchanged or to withdraw enough money to get through a few days till things get normal. Salman, while warming up to host the show and referring to the contestants inside the house, said, "An important announcement about the banning of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 rupee notes have been made but 13 people aren’t aware of the development at all.  You must have understood who I am referring to."
