Salman Khan’s support for Pakistani artists angers Indian fans

21 Feb, 2018

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is one of the few Indian actors who extended their support for the Pakistani actors when they faced ban from working in Bollywood but his latest pro-Pakistani act is angering his native fans.

Recently, Salman made a decision that attracted some negative and derogatory comments from the Indian fans after the ‘Dabangg’ actor chose Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan to sing for ‘Welcome to New York’ over Indian singer Arjit Singh.

Reportedly there had been some bad beefs between Salman and Arjit for quite some time and the superstar’s decision of replacing him was also because of that apparent fight. However, this replacement didn’t go so well with Arjit’s fans who called Salman a ‘traitor’ for his act.

It was also reported that the ‘Channa Mereyan’ singer had recorded songs such as ‘Dil Diyan Gallan’ for ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ but Salman re-recorded the songs with Atif Aslam.

All these replacements irked the Indian fans of the stars and started bashing Salman for his decision and accused him for betraying his nation while siding with the rival country. Indian singer Babul Supriyo even demanded a ban on Pakistani singers from recording songs for Indian movies following this havoc.

On work front, Salman is currently working on his upcoming movie project 'Race 3' opposite Jacqueline Fernandez and will start shooting his next movies in the pipe line'Bharat' and also 'Kick 2' soon.
