Kangana Ranaut reveals her thoughts on Salman Khan being the most misunderstood actor in Bollywood

Kangana Ranaut mentioned how certain ‘negative people’, who are part of gangs, families, or other groups that are hostile to outsiders like her, perceive her as a danger. However, she ignores all such criticisms and keeps progressing on the path of success for her fans. Further, she revealed if she could relate to Salman Khan’s struggles of being misinterpreted in Bollywood. The actress expressed her sadness over the same and shared:

“Agar Salman ji ko dekhein unki kitni fan following hai, kitna pyaar karte hain log unse. I think he is right now the top most, the most-loved star in the country.”

During the same conversation, Kangana also pointed out that people with evil thoughts about Salman probably think of him as their competitor. Thus, driven by jealousy of his position in the film industry, people used to hate him. In Kangana’s words:

“Jin logon ko unse pyaar hai, unse pyaar hai. Ab jin logon ki aankhon mein woh khatakte hain, woh to unse nafrat karenge hi. Jo log unki competition ke hain ya film industry walon ki baat kar rahe hain, na unki aankhon mein to woh khatkeinge. Hum unki jagah pe hone chahiye ya woh uss jagah pe kyun hai, to aise to logon ki aankhon mein woh khatkeinge.”

Muje lagta hain mujhe ense yehi milna chahiye, kyuki bahut tehzeeb mein peesh aa rahe hain ye.” Following this, Salman asked Kangana, “Kyu vaisey nahin aata”. The actress then left the actor embarrassed with her answer, and laughingly mentioned:

“Bilkul nahin. Ye roop toh muje nahin dekhne ko nahin milta. Toh lagta hain saari appointments aur meetings hume esi stage pe karni chahiye.”

“I have the spirits and wings of all those who suffered silently before me…I have your voice that was never raised I have your truth that was never told.”

When Somy Ali called her relationship with Salman Khan ‘worse’

Once, on a social media post, Somy Ali revealed that she was with Salman for eight years and called it the worst years of her life. She added that he never even publically acknowledged their relationship. Further, Somy shared that when Salman finally confessed being in relationship with her, he would constantly make fun of her in front of his friends. Somy wrote:

“Someone who would not insult me and would actually be nice to me. Unfortunately, I was unaware that these men were simply using me, and I was building a future with each affair while I was simply being used. When Salman learned of these affairs, he had the guts to after beating me, saying that I am a man and only men can cheat, not women. I was aghast at that statement and the sexism that reeked from it. Let’s not forget that just because Salman or anyone else is nice to you, they are the same as others. I had it the worst in terms of verbal, sexual, and physical abuse.”
