Salman’s opinion was as a common man, a mere civilian: Sohail Khan

He could be the biggest superstar in the industry today, but anything that Salman Khan says – even if the message is positive – is being blown out of proportion by the media.

The superstar landed himself in yet another controversy yesterday when he said the people who want war should themselves be asked to fight it out.

Salman had said and we quote “In war, the armies of both sides lose their lives. The families are without their sons or their fathers. They have to live their whole lives without them. Those people who order war, they should be given guns and made to fight. Within a day all conflicts will get over as their legs will start shaking”

His comment resulted in relentless mainstream and social media bashing. Salman himself doesn’t react to controversies anymore. He didn’t react when he was severely criticised for days for his slip-of-tongue comment on “feeling like raped woman”. The only time he actually apologised and took back his statement was during the more serious and completely unnecessary ‘Yakub Menon’ controversy.

Defending Salman’s statement and his right to have an opinion as a “mere common man”, his brother Sohail said “A lot of importance is given to actors’ comments on such issues. I am not sure if people from this industry have the knowledge to talk about politics with such depth. What Salman bhai, or any actor for that matter,  says, is his opinion as a common man, a mere civilian. Ask people about war, and anyone would say it’s bad. That’s exactly what he said as well. War anywhere, in any part of the world, be it Syria, India, Iraq, China, cannot be a good thing.”

“There is a scene where I get recruited for the Army and Salman’s character feels bad because he feels Army people lose their lives. I am told they are right in their own way, but I don’t see how. We respect all soldiers who put their life on the line for us. We should do something to protect them too. Authorities should be questioned for sending them. Why should anyone have to lose their loved ones?” Sohail added.

‘Tubelight’ releases in cinemas on June 23.

  • Salman didn’t say anything about Yakub too
    He demanded the arrest of Tiger Memom

    I support Salman
    I cud also call him YM ki Begum like his fan @Tiger the real king says to srk but I will support Salman bcoj I know he is right and Bhakts are wrong

  • War is hell. Ask any german when Hitler promise them a new and better Germany what did they get a country totally devastated, completely destroyed and millions died because of one man obsession for power. The bottom line of all war. Man can be one of the most cruel of all creation. Salman is right 100%, those that call it should be sent to the front line.

  • Salman Khan, grow up sir. Kab tak papa Aur bhai statements par safai dete rehenge. From last three EID releases we have controversy by Salman. During BB, he supported Yakub Menon, During Sultan he felt like raped woman and now talking about peace over war before release (though this time he didn’t said anything wrong). Great time to create controversies during release. As Indicine said Good or Bad, publicity is always beneficial.

    All these years Salim khan supported Modi ji and Salman proved innocent by high court for both cases despite lower session found him guilty, still Salman fans saying Salman never doing boot licking, Really? what say Anand?

  • @Wap4. U call Indicine a crap site, yet ur day is not complete until u have visited ur so called crap site to peep and comment. What a joke u are.

  • If I have superman powers then I will destroy pakistan & USA because terrorism in the world is just because of USA.

  • Very unusual, in the cast I am only reading of Khans in ALL the major roles, with the Chinese actors following.. It will be interesting to see the BOX OFFICE returns, in INDIA, PAKISTAN and CHINA for It would appear that SALMAN is targeting CHINA and PAKISTAN to boost up his movie’s returns, after seeing the fantastic returns of DANGAL’s in our neighboring country’s cinemas while hoping that his Hindu based supporters in India will stand by him. Much will depend on the contents and storyline of TUBELIGHT, for he will be treading on a thin line.
    I am a FAN of ALL the Khans and hope for a great film from a great cast, and not a political one,

  • It seems lots of porkistanis are following this site.. One porkistani called cat the real slave is the leader of that gang..

  • @sky

    WTF are you blabbering? Salman is a free man due to his good relationship with PM Modi! Are you trying to say that court and judiciary work as per Modi’s instructions? If i.e true then WTH Modiji could not saved his own party leaders like Maya Kodnani, Babu Bajrangi, Amit Shah and many others???
