As the New Year approaches, it has become almost a tradition for actors to head out of town and start the celebrations early. This year, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan also joined the list of stars jetting off for a holiday break. After marking his 60th birthday with a star-studded party and sharing joyful moments with friends, family, and colleagues, Salman was recently spotted at the airport heading out of town for a well-deserved vacation.

Sporting his usual casual style, Salman chose jeans and a simple T-shirt, paired with his signature bracelet and goggles as he made his way through the terminal. Before entering the departure gates, he stopped to greet photographers who had gathered to catch a glimpse of him.

The newspaper wrote, “A Chinese expert said on Monday that Bollywood films at most provide an entertainment-driven, emotionally charged portrayal, but no amount of cinematic exaggeration can rewrite the history or shake the PLA’s determination to defend China’s sovereign territory.”

As per an NDTV report, Indian government spokespersons have rejected the Chinese media’s claim, calling the movie propaganda. They said, “India is a country with freedom of expression, and cinematic expression is an integral part of it. Indian filmmakers are free to make films as per this artistic freedom. Those who may have concerns on this particular film are free to approach India’s Ministry of Defence for any clarifications. Government has no role to play in this film.”
