Salman Khan has broken his silence yet again — addressing the controversy stirred by filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap. During the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19’s Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman finally opened up about
the long-standing tension between them, clarifying that he had, in fact, offered Abhinav work in the past — but the filmmaker had declined. The superstar’s comments come after months of scathing attacks from Abhinav, who has repeatedly accused him and his family of sabotaging his career.

Not holding back, Salman Khan said, “Ek Dabbang insaan hai. Mere sath uhnhone Aamir ko bhi lapete mein le liya. Pichle weekend ke Vaar pe maine ek aisehi bola tha ke ‘Kaam karo yaar. Nobody’s interested.’ Aj wapas se puchna chahta hoon, ‘Kaam mila kya bhai?’ Aur aise harkatein karne ke baat – har ek ki burai karoge aap- yeh jo naam aap le rahe ho, yeh toh life mein aapke saath kaam nahi karenge. Ab inke saath jitne log jure hai woh bhi nahi karenge. Aur phir humne jab apko ek picture offer ki, apne bola nahi karenge.”
Opening up on why he felt bad at the accusations, Salman Khan added, “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. I’m saying that they are worried about you. Agar koi apko ek advice deta hai ke bhai soch samajh ke bola karo, I want to see you grow, you are a talented man, achha likhta hai. Yeh gully mat jao. Wapas se aa jao highway pe.”
Abhinav Kashyap Remarks On Salman Khan
The tension between Salman Khan and Abhinav Kashyap dates back to the making of Dabangg (2010), one of Bollywood’s biggest hits. Abhinav, who directed the film, had a public falling-out with the Dabangg team soon after its release. What began as creative disagreements over credit and production control escalated into an ugly war of words.
In the years that followed, Abhinav accused Salman and his family of interfering with his work and attempting to “sabotage” his career in the industry. His remarks were fiery, calling Salman vindictive and controlling. The filmmaker alleged that after he walked away from Dabangg 2, he was systematically pushed out of major projects.
Abhinav, who is also filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s brother further called Salman Khan a ‘criminal’ and went on to say that his family is ‘not normal’. “My opinion on Salman Khan and his family stands. They are not normal human beings. They are proven criminals. He’s out on bail. He’s a convicted criminal, out on bail. A criminal is a criminal. There are things that even I know,” he told Bollywood Thikana.
