Salman Khan indirectly reacted to Abhinav Kashyap’s allegations against him
Bigg Boss 19 host Salman Khan indirectly hit back at Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap’s accusations against him and his family. A few days ago, Abhinav hit the headlines after he made some shocking allegations against Salman Khan and his family. He called the Bollywood superstar a ‘goon’ and also accused the Khan family of stealing Dabangg’s credit from him. His comments from a recent podcast went viral on social media. Now, Salman seems to have hit back at Abhinav, and said that people talk rubbish about him on podcasts just because they don’t have any work.
Salman Khan Indirectly Reacts To Abhinav Kashyap’s Allegations
In Saturday’s Bigg Boss 19 Weekend Ka Vaar episode, contestant Tanya Mittal expressed a heartfelt wish to Salman on her birthday. She said, “I hope Salman sir becomes like family to me in Mumbai, so I don’t feel unsafe living there.” However, Salman said that those who get attached to him are being targeted these days. While he did not take Abhinav Kashyap’s name, he indirectly took a jibe at the accusations made on the podcast.
He said, “Jo sab mere saath attach huye hai ya huye the, aajkal unki bhi baj rahi hai. Baithe-baithe log kuch bhi and-sand bol rahe hain jinse mera talluk raha hai, aur jinhone kabhi meri tareef ki hai. Ab, they don’t quite like me anymore. Aajkal log podcast me aake utpatang baatein karte hai kyunki unke paas koi kaam nahi hai. My request to you all is, please koi kaam kar lo. (Those who are or were once associated with me are also being targeted these days. People I’ve had connections with — even those who once praised me — are now sitting around and saying all sorts of nonsense. These days, people go on podcasts and talk rubbish just because they don’t have any work. My request to all of you is, please, get some work)”.
Salman further advised housemates to work no matter how they are feeling. “There is nothing better than work. No matter how you are feeling, what you are going through, you have to get up, take a shower, and land up at a job,” he said.
What Abhinav Kashyap Said About Salman Khan
Earlier, in an interview with Screen, Abhinav Kashyap called Salman Khan a ‘gunda (goon)’, and said that he has not been interested in acting since the last 25 years. “He does a favour by turning up to work. He is more into the power of being a celebrity, but he is not interested in acting. He is a gunda (goon). I was not aware of this before Dabangg. Salman badtameez hai, ganda insaan hai,” he said. He also called the Khan family ‘vindictive’ and claimed that they target those who disagree with them.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Bollywood Thikana, Abhinav Kashyap called Salman Khan a ‘criminal’ and went on to say that his family is ‘not normal’. “My opinion on Salman Khan and his family stands. They are not normal human beings. They are proven criminals. He’s out on bail. He’s a convicted criminal, out on bail. A criminal is a criminal. There are things that even I know,” he said.
