Bollywood’s ‘Dabangg’ Salman Khan has always been known for his outspoken tongue, friend-to-friend style and standing to any extent for his loved ones. This time the superstar’s anger is not directed at any film critic or opponent, but at the trolls who are making venomous comments on social media without any reason. The occasion was a big public platform and conversation in front of media cameras, where Salman Khan lost his cool when the online trolling against Katrina Kaif was mentioned.
Salman not only showed the mirror to the trolls and attacked their ‘Parvarish’, but also in anger and rage took off his designer coat in front of the camera. This unexpected drama that happened on stage has now spread like wildfire on every platform of internet and social media.
The entire incident happened during a star-studded press conference and promotional event. During the conversation in the program, when the question of some lewd comments and age-shaming made by a section of the media and on social media about Katrina Kaif was raised, the attitude of Salman Khan present there completely changed.
As soon as Salman took the mic, he said in sharp words that it is not bravery to attack the dignity of a woman or a co-star while sitting behind closed doors and fake profiles. He said bluntly, “Those who sit on the internet and write such bad things about someone’s work, looks or personal life are actually showing their real upbringing to the world. The respect women have in their homes is clearly visible from their language.”
Salman Khan’s anger did not subside here. While giving his speech, he became so emotional that he took off his heavy coat on the stage in front of live cameras and hundreds of journalists. His sudden action left the other stars and organizers present on the stage stunned for a moment.
Taking off his coat and wearing his signature T-shirt, Salman said in a tone that if someone has so much courage, then he should come forward and talk with his real identity. He said, “It is very easy to point fingers while hiding behind the screen; sometimes you should come forward and show it.” Seeing this ‘dominant’ attitude of Salman, his fans present in the auditorium supported his stance with whistles and applause.
The rapport and friendship between Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif is well known in Bollywood. Both of them have shared the screen together in blockbuster films like ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’, ‘Partner’, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, ‘Bharat’ and ‘Tiger 3’. From the beginning of her career to becoming one of Bollywood’s top actresses, Salman Khan has always been one of Katrina’s strongest supporters.
Even after Katrina Kaif’s marriage, the same professional respect and intimate friendship remains intact between the two. This is the reason why whenever any negative campaign or unrestrained comments are made on social media about Katrina, Salman Khan does not hesitate at all in publicly standing in her favor.
As soon as the video clips of Salman Khan making this strong statement and removing his coat came out, the social media users of the entire country including Uttar Pradesh (especially Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi), Delhi-NCR, Bihar and Mumbai have been divided into two groups. Bhaijaan’s fans on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and Facebook are praising his protective style and outspokenness.
At the local level, youth and cinema lovers say that it was very important for a big superstar to come out openly against cyber bullying and online trolling. On the other hand, some critics believe that it was a bit dramatic to take off the coat and show body language during a live event. However, most of the people have completely agreed with Salman that it is necessary to expose in the society those who cross the limits of respect for others in the digital world.
Targeting female artists in the entertainment industry because of their looks, clothes, age or personal decisions has become a common and worrying trend on social media. This sharp anger of Salman Khan is being considered as a big explosion of this growing problem.
Digital experts believe that unless social media platforms impose strict legal and technical restrictions on hate speech and anonymous trolls, such incidents will continue to be repeated. This latest stand of Salman Khan, along with setting an example of standing up for his colleagues in Bollywood, has also given a strong message to the trolls that they cannot hurt anyone’s dignity with their actions.
