Salman Khan addressed the long-standing tension with filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap during the latest episode of Bigg Boss 19’s Weekend Ka Vaar. The superstar revealed that he had previously offered Abhinav work, which the filmmaker declined, putting an end to months of public accusations.

Speaking candidly, Salman said, “Ek Dabbanginsaanhai. Mere sath uhnhone Aamir ko bhi lapetemein le liya. Pichle weekend ke Vaar pemaine ek aisehi bola tha ke ‘Kaam karo yaar. Nobody’s interested.’ Ajwapas se puchnachahtahoon, ‘Kaammilakya bhai?’ Aur aise harkatein karne ke baathar ek ki buraikarogeaap- yeh jo naam aap le rahe ho, yeh toh life meinaapkesaathkaam nahi karenge. Ab inkesaathjitne log jure haiwoh bhi nahi karenge. Aur phir humne jab apko ek picture offer ki, apne bola nahi karenge."

Salman Reflects on Personal Impact

Opening up about the emotional toll of the allegations, Salman added, “Mujhe baat buri sirf ek heecheez lag rahi hai ki apne apneaap ko destroy kardiya. Agar kisikeparivar ke peechepadhnahaitohkhudkeparivar ke peechepadho. Apne bhai ke peechepadho, ussepyarkarlo, Maa Pita se pyarkarlo, biwibachho ka khayal rakh lo. I’m saying that they are worried about you. Agar koi apko ek advice detahai ke bhai sochsamajh ke bola karo, I want to see you grow, you are a talented man, achhalikhtahai. Yeh gully mat jao. Wapas se aa jao highway pe."

The Backstory of Tensions

The conflict traces back to Dabangg (2010), one of Bollywood’s biggest hits, directed by Abhinav Kashyap. Creative disagreements over credit and production control quickly escalated into public clashes. In subsequent years, Abhinav accused Salman and his family of sabotaging his career, claiming that he was pushed out of major projects after walking away from Dabangg 2.

In interviews, Abhinav has been scathing about Salman and his family, stating, “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."

The latest episode of Bigg Boss 19 offered Salman a platform to address the controversy directly, reaffirming that he had extended opportunities to Abhinav and expressing hope that the filmmaker would refocus on his personal and professional growth.
