Ever since Priyanka Chopra walked out of ‘Bharat’ after she got engaged to Nick Jonas, speculations have been rife that the film’s lead actor Salman Khan is mighty upset with the ‘Quantico’ actress. It was rumoured that the ‘Dus Ka Dum 3’ actor has vowed to never work with PeeCee again. It was said that Priyanka’s professional and personal equation with the ‘Race 3’ star has taken a hit after she quit the film. Bharat’s producer had also expressed his displeasure and said that it was a little unprofessional of Priyanka to leave the film suddenly.


The actor’s father Salim Khan, while talking to an entertainment portal, has finally opened up about the rumours of bad blood between Priyanka and Salman. The veteran screenwriter said that Bhaijaan is not miffed with Piggy Chops for leaving the film.

Salim also said that these things happen in the industry and even his film ‘Zanjeer’ also faced a lot of ups and downs.

" It’s okay whatever happened. Priyanka is not doing Bharat, let her be. Such things happen in our industry.Has it happened for the first time that someone has left a film? Our very own Zanjeer went through so many ins and outs,’’ Salim Khan told SpotboyE.



The ‘Sholay’ writer said that Bharat’s team and Salman Khan is not angry at Priyanka for leaving the film when she was about to shoot.

“Nope, it’s not the nth hour. And I repeat, such things happen- sometimes they happen for date issues, or the role, or even the money aspect. Aur kabhi aadmi ki kuch apni majbooriyan hoti hai. I haven’t yet got into the details of why Priyanka left Bharat, but we shall soon cast someone else. We are not upset with Priyanka. Salman Khan is also not upset,” Khan further told the portal.



Ali Abbas Zafar, who is directing the film, had earlier said on Twitter that the team would announce the name of the new leading lady opposite Salman soon. As per the latest buzz, Katrina Kaif has replaced Priyanka Chopra in Bharat and she will start shooting for the film from September.

We are relieved that Salman is not miffed with our ‘Desi girl’ Priyanka.
