Salman Khan yet again addressed the claims made by Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap. During the recent Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar show, Salman addressed the topic head-on and went on a violent rant against the director, questioning whether he is receiving any work in the industry. During a conversation with comedian Ravi Gupta, Salman Khan got candid about the controversy.
Salman Khan opened up about the recent controversial remarks without naming the director, “Ek Dabangg insaan hai. Mere sath uhnhone Aamir aur Shah Rukh ko bhi lapete mein le liya. Pichle weekend ke Vaar pe maine ek aise hi bola tha ke ‘Kaam karo yaar. Nobody’s interested.’ Aaj wapas se puchna chahta hoon, ‘Kaam mila kya bhai?’ (We have one more Dabbang person. He even dragged Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan into this. During Weekend Ka Vaar last week, I asserted ‘Just do your work, nobody’s interested.’ Today, I want to ask again, ‘Did you get any work?’)”
Salman Khan loses his calm
Salman further shared that criticism won`t get him any work, “Aur aise harkatein karne ke baad, har ek ki burai karoge aap, yeh jo naam aap le rahe ho, intelligence ki had hoti hai, yeh toh life mein aapke saath kaam nahi karenge. Ab inke saath jitne log jodde hai woh bhi nahi karenge. Aur phir humne jab apko ek picture offer ki, apne bola nahi karenge. ( People will refuse to cooperate with you if you continue to criticize everyone. The person you mentioned will no longer work with you, nor will anyone linked with them. When we offered you a film, you refused to do it.).”
Salman admitted that the allegations had affected him, but he maintained that he still feels Abhinav is a true talent who should focus on his profession. Salman went on to share, “Mujhe baat buri sirf ek hee cheez lag rahi hai ki apne apne aap ko destroy kar diya. Agar kisike parivar ke peeche padhna hai toh khudke parivar ke peeche padho. Apne bhai ke peeche padho, usse pyar karlo, Maa Pita se pyar karlo, biwi bachho ka khayal rakh lo. Yeh toh least hai (The one thing that hurts me the most is that you are destroying yourself. If you want to get after someone, please go after your family or your brother (Anurag Kashyap). Or, love your brother, your parents, your wife. That’s the least you can do).”
Salman Khan advised Abhinav Kashyap
The Dabangg star further advised Abhinav Kashyap, “I want to see you grow, you are a talented man. Aacha likhta hai (He is a good writer). Yeh gali mat jao. Wapis se aa jao highway pe.”
During the chat, Salman also responded to Abhinav`s remark, suggesting that Salman would soon “fall to his knees and even beg”. He said, “Upar wala hi karega tumhare liye. Aur dost mujhe ghutno pe leke jaate ho na, main roz subha ghutno pe aata hun lekin uske liye (Only God will take care of you. And friend, you talk about me going down on my knees, I go down on knees every morning but to pray).”
For the uninitiated, Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap has been making various assertions and accusations against Salman for quite some time. He said that the actor grabbed too much credit for Dabangg and suggested that Salman was involved in manipulating. Abhinav recently went on a podcast and discussed an old incident from the set of Tere Naam, stating that Salman made things so difficult for his brother Anurag Kashyap that he had to leave the movie.
