Join UsBhai & controversies have always been two sides of the same coin. Now, Salman Khan’s recent comment on Priyanka Chopra during Bharat promotions faced backlash from a certain set of audience. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the movie stars Katrina Kaif opposite Salman.
He was giving an interview (Bollywood Hungama) with Katrina Kaif, in which he said, “She (PC) got the biggest film of her career but instead chose to get married and leave the country.” This wasn’t received well by a huge chunk of the Twitter audience, and people started posting against it.
Salman fans started a trend of #PaidMediaCantHarmSalman, which attracted a huge number of tweets. But, interestingly, Ali Abbas Zafar also has commented on the same in one of his interviews.
In a video clip of Bollywood Spy’s interview, we can see Ali commenting on the same. He said, “I don’t think bhai (Salman Khan) is dragging Priyanka into anything. Bhai has a wicked sense of humour and he’s taking the situation accordingly. Priyanka is a very close friend of ours, there’s nothing against her and we really wish all the best for her happiness
