Salman Khan Defends His Father and Slams Critics: A Bold Statement at “Angry Young Man” Film Launch Event

Salman Khan, the Bollywood superstar, has never shied away from expressing his opinions, especially when it comes to his family and their legacy in the film industry. Recently, at the launch event of his father Salim Khan’s film “Angry Young Man,” Salman made a strong statement in response to comments made by some industry figures, including Jaya Bachchan.

During the event, Salman was asked about the criticism his father, Salim Khan, and renowned screenwriter Javed Akhtar had received, particularly regarding allegations of bad behavior and disrespect. Without naming names, Salman Khan defended his father and Javed Akhtar, saying that anyone who criticized them was in the wrong. He made it clear that the people who had failed to work with his father or had issues with him were the ones with a “problem,” not his father or Javed Akhtar.

In his speech, Salman addressed the accusations made by certain individuals, including Jaya Bachchan, who had reportedly called Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar “rude” and “difficult.” He explained that the real reason some people couldn’t collaborate with his father was simply due to scheduling conflicts, personal preferences, or creative differences. However, these individuals resorted to tarnishing his father’s reputation by claiming that his mind was “out of order.”

Salman, visibly agitated, asserted that it was the critics who had a “problem” with their own minds, rather than his father. He even went as far as to call out the absurdity of such accusations, stating that anyone who made such claims about his father’s mental state clearly had a “messed-up” perspective.
