Bollywood actor Salman Khan has recently taken a jab at Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap after the filmmaker accused the actor of harassment.
During the Weekend Ka Var, Salman celebrated the birthday of contestant Tanya Mittal in the house. Tanya left emotional with the birthday surprise and said, “I hope Salman sir becomes like family to me in Mumbai, so I don’t feel unsafe living there.”
Salman then took the change and responded while taking a dig at Abhinav’s recent allegations.
Salman said in the episode, “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 (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).”
The actor added, “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 (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’s comment came after Abhinav Kashyap made serious allegations against the actor.

During a podcast appearance, Abhinav claimed that Salman over-credited Dabangg and implied that the actor had engaged in flattery, manipulation, and even personal assaults on previous movie projects.
Abhinav also brought up an old incident from the Tere Naam set, claiming that Salman caused his brother Anurag Kashyap so much trouble that he had to quit the project.
Additionally, Salman's recent acclaim for Anurag's film Nishaanchi was also criticised by Abhinav, who called it an act of "chamchagiri" intended to silence critics.
