Maharashtra Navnirman Sena supremo Raj Thackeray slammed his good friend and Bollywood superstar Salman Khan over his remarks that “Pakistani artists are not terrorists” and they should be allowed to work in India because they have a valid visa and work permit.
“It has happened a lot of times, Salman Khan’s tubelight flickers sometimes.. we should understand one thing, the people who are fighting on the border.. they do not have any personal hatred against soldiers from Pakistan, do they? They are dying there, bullets are hitting them and the bullets that they are taking on their bodies.. are not filmy bullets, when Salman gets hit by a bullet.. he gets up after that”
“The Pakistani stars who were here, we gave them a 48-hour ultimatum after which they left. We asked them, do you want to condemn the attacks on the army.. they said, they can’t.. we are Pakistanis” the MNS chief added.
Thackeray also questioned why the industry needs to work with Pakistani actors when we have enough and more talent in our own country.
“Are we short of artists in our country? Why do we need Pakistani artists to work in our films? I don’t understand” Thackeray said.
“Jawans are fighting for us at borders. What’ll happen if they decide to put down their weapons? Who’ll guard the borders? Salman Khan?”
“These artistes should realise ‘Nation first’. If they have so much problem, we will ban their movies too” Thackeray said at a press conference.
The reactions come after the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association passed a resolution to ban Pakistani actors from the industry in the wake of the Uri attack.
Thackeray and Salman share a warm relationship. The MNS chief visited Salman before the verdict to his hit-and-run case and also makes it a point to visit Salman’s bandra residence during the Ganesh Chaturthi festival.
@Neeraj, why are you singing the songs of Aamir and SRK? Deep down your heart, you hate them so much, you hypocrites!! But Salman has never got as nasty as your hero got on Twitter regarding Kangana!! One that dirty play is equal to all.
And yes, Salman immediately apologized after that unintentional rape-comment. But you didn’t see that and are still stuck to that comment!! Yakub menon is the same. He showed his regrets, you zealots never saw that.
Aab tum jaise religious fanatics see mistakes in every Salman’s talk, toh Salman kya kar sakta hai?
when pak actors asked about URI attack they shut their mouth and told that their nation(pakistan) comes first….pakistan terrorists have killed 1000s of innocents indians over past year and will kill more in near future..even then our so called intellectuals people wants paki actors to work in india…such foolish people…no shame is bigger than this for indians..raj is not against all pakis but against all terrorrist..this is time for all indians to unite and oppose pakistan and punch them hard..boycott anything related to pakistan…nothing personal against pakistan…but nation comes first…proud to be Indian…
@ Neeraj u are an idiot and a dangerous one at that. One question for u, are there no Indians working or living in Pakistan? Think my friend and stop blabbering Dumbo.
@anand 5:52
These ANDHI Bhakts can’t even see Salman has praised Indian army and condemned Uri attack. But they only see him praising Pakistani artists…
@Neeraj, by the way, if Hrithik were in Salman’s shoes or were asked the same question by the reporters about banning Pak Artists in Bollywood, what do you think he would have said considering that these artists colleagues or friends of his that work in the same industry?
Be honest! To me, he would have either dodged the question or said similar things to Salman did.
@Neeraj, also talk about Bhai’s support to Modi even before he became a PM. Salman lost a huge chunk of Muslim audiences for flying kites with him and later defending in interviews! His father helped Modi a lot with the Urdu Website! Modi invited him to his office soon after he became PM despite that Salman has been known as a spoiled brat for decades! LOL
But you zealots hating him because he is Khan wont ever see that.
I heard a comment from a grieving father of dead soldier who himself is a retired army personnel that if artists are separate entity so are authors, players, so called liberals, social commentators and people at large than why only army is asked to fight why does the whole nation not join them
@Anand, if that’s the case, then you hate Hrithik because he’s Hindu? You hypocrite
@neeraj 5:56pm
“now supporting Paki actors, when people on the border are dying”…..If you think that Salman is supporting Pakistanis then MODI is the biggesst supporter of Pakistani artists bcoz his GOVT is givng visas and work permit to those Pakistanis…

Dabangg Salman at his best….unbelievable guts shown by him
he can easily promote himself by faking like other actors by saying
salute indian army long live india
jai hind
real patriot from inside not a show off thats Superman Salman
@6:03pm
Yes Pakistani artists shouldn’t be allowed to work in India. But can I ask you who gave them visas & work permits???
@Neeraj, I myself is not a Muslim, you idiot! Why do you selectively choosing his comments just for the sake of bashing him only?
He also supported the Surgical Strike of the Government.

@romance hai mushkil
i dont think its bhakt vs bhaitards
it is looking india vs bhaitards. as most of us who are not modi fan also want that pakistani artist should not allowed as our people are disrespected in pak like lata ji, kabir khan, anupam kher, rajnath singh, journalists etc
Fully support Raj thakray I personally feel not only MNS or shivsena all parties should take action against Pak artist.
@Neeraj you gimmik man what of people like Amitabh and Ajay Devgn who are also supporting Pakistan actor. You moron there is a Pakistani in Shivaay but because he is Hindu super star nobody will talk about it. Stop being biased. Be educated .
@Neeraj,If that’s the case?
Letz do HINDU – MUSLIM fight!
All 3 khans on 1 side.
AKKI,HR,AJAY on 1 side.
#lol
He is absolutely right
This is what people are calling Intolerant!!
Firstly India should be freed from Such terrorist inside the country
According to @navina Nawazuddin Siddique is a Pakistani, not Indian.
Listen Illiterate 2Rs Navin Nawazuddin Siddique is from Utter Pradesh and Pure Indian not like you refugee.
Somebody says the whole film should be shooted again with another actors…
Seriously are you People out of your mind!!!!
Such insane people living here…
Double triple standards of people! Even raj thackeray makes sense to some people now.. so much for their hatred 2wards salman khan! Some of them r srk fans, some akshay fans, some hrithik etc fans and quite a few of them r the ones who have a problem with his name n last name ! What crap have we become, moreso after the communally dividing forces have taken front seats! Most of us r not even being honest to ourselves! Indian values n culture has died under the fake nationalist agenda fulfilling personal egos n nurturing hatred !
Did he say he dsnt support our armed heroes? Did he mean anything which puts our country n its culture in second place!
He has put nation first when he says the action was proper, he has put nation first when he says we shd respect artists n people we have granted visa! Atithi devo bhava is putting nation first!
What crap is this that sum1 shd criticise his nation coz he works here.. what if the british tell the indian community 2 accept that bhagat singh was terrorist n if they dnt they shd leave the UK! ? .. what if they tell the nri’s to leave uk coz they support india with indian flags on the english soil althgh they reap all the benefits the british passport gives them?.. crap we have become n the true indian nationalist spirit has been defeated by hatred!
Hate what is evil, fight what is evil , hate terrorists, hate pakistan as a country but y treat innocents n artists as evil forces coz they belong to a enemy state! Y dnt we do that with china n its people! They r the biggest threat! But no.. there is one small difference.. honestly speaking the poison of hatred 2wards a particular community does play an indirect role in most of our minds when we hate pakistan!
Hahahaha Anand and Tiger defending their Bhai ,
And Bhai support Pakistan’s
Kahi Tubelight me Koi Pakistani Actor ya Singer to Nahi Liya!!!!!
@neeraj your cmmnt make no sense @anand also degrade srk but he is not hindu now stop behaving like a fake politician evrybdy is human fst then any religious
I am a salman fan.But I agree he made a stupid statement and Raj Thackeray has a good point.
