Abhinav Kashyap: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has once again found himself at the center of a storm. Dabangg (2010) director Abhinav Kashyap openly branded him a “goon, rude and dirty man.” Meanwhile, Salman used the stage of Bigg Boss 19 to respond to long-standing allegations that he destroyed the careers of several actors.
Abhinav Kashyap’s Explosive Claims
In a recent interview, filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap launched a scathing attack on Salman Khan and his family. He alleged that Salman has lost interest in acting for over two decades and only shows up on set as a “favor.” Kashyap went further, claiming the Khan family controls the industry and punishes anyone who goes against them.
Kashyap’s words were sharp:
“Salman Khan is a goon. He is rude and a dirty man. He has no interest in acting. Before Dabangg, I had no idea about this reality.”
Salman Khan’s Counter on Bigg Boss 19
During the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19, Shehnaaz Gill joked with Salman, praising him for shaping many careers. At that moment, Salman addressed the ongoing accusations.
Salman said:
“People say I’ve ruined so many careers. Honestly, it’s not in my hands. It’s God who decides careers. These days, it has become a trend to say Salman destroys careers. Which career have I eaten up? If I eat, I’ll eat my own career.”
He admitted that even he sometimes loses focus but always works hard to bounce back.
Old Feud Resurfaces
The Salman-Abhinav conflict isn’t new. Ever since the release of Dabangg, their relationship has been strained. Kashyap has, in the past, accused the Khan family of manipulating the industry and making life difficult for outsiders.
