Salman Khan recently made a bold statement, asserting that men today no longer want to embody traditional masculinity.

Salman Khan's viral 'men' comment
Discussing Salim-Javed’s work, Salman remarked, “A lot of writers simply write. But Salim-Javed infused their scripts with real-life experiences, drawing from what they’ve learned from people, their parents, and the way their children have grown up. They took life and put it into cinema, unlike others who just recycle what’s already been done in films.”
He went on to say, “God creates men, but it seems this generation doesn’t want to be men anymore. My father and Javed Sahab, however, are and always will be true men.” This comment prompted an enthusiastic response from Javed Akhtar, who punched the air in agreement.
