Bigg Boss 19: Salman Khan recently confronted Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap regarding his earlier remarks. The long-standing public feud between filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan dates back to 2020. The catalyst for this fallout was a highly public Facebook post by Abhinav Kashyap, in which he levied serious accusations against Salman Khan, his brothers Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan, and their father, the veteran screenwriter Salim Khan. In his extensive post, Abhinav Kashyap explicitly accused the powerful Khan family of actively attempting to sabotage his career.  During a Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19, Salman directly addressed the controversy, questioning Kashyap's current work in the industry. This fiery rant followed a previous dig at Kashyap's offensive comments in an earlier episode. Salman discussed the issue with comedian Ravi Gupta on Sunday's episode.

Salman Khan without mentioning Abhinav Kashyap’s name directly said, “Ek Dabangg insaan hai. Mere sath uhnhone Aamir (Aamir Khan) 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?’ The Tiger 3 actor further added, “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.”

Meanwhile, Salman Khan addressed that the allegations have hurt him but still he believes Abhinav is truly talented and should concentrate on his work. The 59-year-old actor shared, “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.” Additionally, the Sultan actor advised the Director, “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.” Salman also responded to Abhinav’s “fall to his knees and even beg” remark. He stated, “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.”

Fued Between Abhinav Kashyap And Salman Khan

On the other hand, for the unversed, Abhinav Kashyap has been making remarks about Salman in multiple interviews over time. Still, Salman recently surprised many by supporting Abhinav's brother Anurag Kashyap's film Nishaanchi and sending his good wishes publicly. Addressing this, in a chat with Bollywood Thikana, Abhinav said, “Salman ki takdeer par likha hai, ab yeh humare hi talve chaatega. Maine ek interview diya tha usko gunda bulaaya tha, toh ab yeh dikha raha hai ki yeh bada prashansak hai humara. Vohi Anurag Kashyap jisko Tere Naam main pereshaan kiya tha. Anurag ne voh film chodhi thi inhone nikala nahi tha. Ab uski tareef karte nazar aarahe hai voh toh karenge. Ab yeh ghutnon pe aayenge, bheek bhi mangenge.”
