Salman Khan apologises for missing ‘IFFPwD’ event

He might be the biggest star of the country, but Salman Khan is still humble and down to earth. The star has been extremely busy with his upcoming film Sultan, for which he is training extensively as he plays the role of a wrestler in the film. Because of this, Salman was not able to visit an event for which he had given his consent.

The event was the ‘1st International Film Festival for Persons with Disabilities’ (IFFPwD). Salman, sources say, regretted the fact that he couldn’t attend the festival and thus he uploaded a video apologising for the same and asking for forgiveness because he missed the event.

The video starts with him introducing himself. He then goes on to say

“I should have been a part of this festival, but due to my packed shooting schedule for ‘Sultan’, I couldn’t be there physically. But from my heart and soul, I am always up for such causes. To start a film festival especially for differently-abled is a really noble thought.

“Cinema, movies and Entertainment is a big part of the Indian culture and I think everybody should be a part of this culture and why should the differently abled people be left out of this? Many who can see but not hear and some who can hear but not see, they all should go and enjoy and should be provided with the necessary facilities.”

We are sure, the people connected to the event will be glad on receiving the video message from Salman.

The three-day festival, organised by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD) under the social justice and empowerment ministry in collaboration with the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), started with the screening of Marathi film ‘Yellow’ on Tuesday at the Siri Fort auditorium.

It will screen 40 Indian language and international films — 16 short films, 14 documentaries and 10 features (7 fiction and 3 documentary films) before coming to an end on Thursday.

  • I just finished watching Tamasha and I have to say: It was BRILLIANT!!!
    I would give it a 4/5.
    I personally like Ranbir Kapoor as an actor and his performance was awesome here as well!!!
    To all those spreading negativity due to it being a rom-com, I would like to tell you it is only partially a romantic movie and is truly a breaking-the -barrier-living-life-to-the-fullest-motivating movie!!!
    Ranbir’s character goes through the same problems that we all go through but unlike us, he has time to realise it before it is too late….
    The tagline of the movie,why always the same story?, is done justice in this movie and I think every middle class engineer-type nokri man should see it..
    The only negative I found was that though songs were good, they weren’t upto the mark..
    And for all those who don’t know, DP has a smaller role as this is not a rom-com but a dfferent kind of coming-of-age…

    I wish that everyone would see it once, many awesome movies have failed this year and I hope that this is not added to that list…

  • He is bollywood fast and last rock star in the world Salman bhaiJaan? Biggest Super MegaStar and his Megastardom his unmatchable to anyone.He is only Super Mega star

  • I am not sure how many people who comment on this site read the Holy Scriptures but there is a passage when the Lord was asked “Who is my neighbor” His reply was ” I was in prison you visited me not, I was hungry and you did not feed me, I was thirsty and you did not give me drink, I was naked and you did not clothe me, but if you do it unto the least of these you do it unto me.
    I say all that to say this, that I firmly believe that Salman because he reaches out to the least of the loved within the communities is why he is so blessed, it takes nothing to be kind to others, and God has blessed him with a good heart, because that’s what God sees, we see the outside, we see the failures of others and become judgmental against Salman and others like him.
    My prayer is that as he reaches out to the unlovable that God would continue to reach down to him and his family and shower them with blessing above all else, health, love and happiness.

  • romance dilwala said that if PRDP will cross 178 cr(HNY) trade figure then he will leave indicine.So are you leaving or you waiting for me to kick your a**.

  • Its not the media or the PR machinery or the self dabba or the controversies or the fake publicities (like in the cases of srk, ranbir etc ) that made salman the megastar that he is today, but it is his fans and crores of them and the mutual love between him & his fans has what made him the biggest superstar of our country , the real ultimate megastar, period!

  • Still can’t forget that day when criminal fans were literally crying and praying for lallu criminal on his court hearing day…LoL I had too much fum that day…..
    Bad news for criminal fans as Bombay High court has dismissed a fresh application filed by lallu to make his friend Kamaal khan “who is another criminal”a court witness…

    Criminal’s days are numbered …mark my fcuking words… and I would love to see the criminal fans reaction when Lallu will be sentenced to 5 years in prison….these criminal fans would be literally widows…ha ha

  • @Indicine stop making rubbish joke. How is he biggest star? Aamir is the biggest star because he keeps breaking his own records but Salman even with great story like BB couldn’t come close to pk’s lifetime record? I am not Salman hater but calling him biggest star is plain stupidity. Aamir has contributed a lot more than Salman in the industry and he has way less flops as compared to Salman. Aamir is ruling India, overseas and everywhere he has top grossers and founder of every nee club. Salman can be called one of the biggest stars but he is definitely not the biggest star at all. Salman has around 50 flops including 3 disasters and less ATBBs as compared to aamir. While aamir has 5 ATBBs and 4 ATHGs. So Aamir is the biggest star not Salman. Period. Stop doing chaaplusi of Salman all the time. I k ow your site is too much biased towards Salman and srk but that will never change the reality that only aamir is the real megastar and biggest star in India overseas and worldwide. Period.

  • Lets see weather this so called biggest star can give ATHG in India or not. Forget overseas as that’s definitely not his cup of tea. Only megastar aamir khan is the biggest star in India. Salman is good entertainer but not the biggest star at all. I also admit that he helps poor people, does charities, I appreciate him for being real and not fake unlike some media created star sarook but calling Salman biggest star is just a joke and I cant accept that. Next year dangal will earn more than double of sultan because the biggest star of India will have a release next year who doesn’t break records but creates unbeatable records. So hail the biggest star in India and overseas AAMIR KHAN. no one like him has ever come and will ever come.

  • @fanpk:
    Hahaha… You loongitards are complaining on Bhai movies over promotion!!! But look at your queen who is promoting billu 2 and rice smuggler. More than 6 months remain for these movies released but queen already released 4-5 posters and 2-3 teasers for each movie…lol.

  • DILWALE WILL be sure shot blockbuster. Some insecure guys are again bashing it. By the way salman is good and generous not like his idiot fans.

  • Its been well over a yr now but still our King Charlie hasnt apologised to our Complan Boy for not bringing the 300cr storm last Diwali…!

    Thats the diffeence between Bhai n Queen…!

  • salman khan is not the biggest star. srk and aamir are way more popular and bigger stars than him everywhere be it india, overseas and worldwide. but in recent years salman just has been lucky as he is playing safe by releasing all his movies on big festivals otherwise he struggles to give a hit example veer, jai ho. so in terms of recognition and star power all over the world, srk and aamir are unmatchable and salman is just local star not as popular as aamir and srk worldwide. also now a days srk and aamir are doing very few films as compared to salman, so that also has benefeted salman a lot. still I would say that aamir and srk are biggest stars of indian cinema. period.

  • biggest superstar nodoubt but still humble, thats y irrespective of reviews his movies breaks record breaking buisness . it shows immense love his fans show for him.

  • Love you a lot salman ……obviously ur looks are awesome but so are ur thoughts and actions…… Just happy that u r my favorite star…….

  • @pk fan salman promoted most as a lead in two films wanted & prdp. Salman promoted hugely to launch sooraj & athiya. So the next film by that director who launched salman,so he decided to give fixed some days for prdp promotion. But salman has given full dates from december to sultan. So he couldnt attend. But he shoot a video to send them.thats great. u say prdp crap?ur elders will like it. For example,i used to call some films boring in my teen age but now i understand those films.Because patience is the key which comes in mature age. u can say it boring. But if u say prdp is crap,then u should teach ur elders how to make a great film.

  • @dangal in this decade ak in 6years/72months/ 2000 days mein has only two atbb. If ak released two films in a year or in 3-4months like bb & prdp,then ak fans understand it. In this decade salman has two atbb,five blockbusters,one superhit,one avg. Now tell me who is no.one?@pk fan salman promoted most as a lead in two films wanted & prdp. Salman promoted hugely to launch sooraj & athiya. So the next film by that director who launched salman,so he decided to give fixed some days for prdp promotion. But salman has given full dates from december to sultan. So he couldnt attend. But he shoot a video to send them.thats great. u say prdp crap?ur elders will like it.

But if u say prdp is crap,then u should teach ur elders how to make a great film.

  • @skr I am not only talking about this decade. I am talking about the entire career. I genuinely feel that calling such words like “the biggest star” to Salman is insult to other superstars. And I already said that Salman is one of the biggest stars but we can’t call him biggest star. That’s just a stupidity. And let me tell you, aamir has 5 ATBBs in whole career, while Salman has 4. Aamir has 4 ATHGs in his career while Salman has only 1. Aamir has only few flops but Salman has way so many flops. Now tell me how is Salman biggest stars just based on his blockbusters from 2010? We should call him one of the biggest stars but not the biggest star. Period. No.matter weather you like it or not but that’s the fact. Period.
