Bollywood superstar Salman Khan faced backlash in Saudi Arabia after his statement about Balochistan. These days, the three famous Khans of Bollywood—Salman, Shah Rukh, and Aamir—are visiting Saudi Arabia, where they are attending different events and meeting fans. Videos from their trip are going viral on social media.
During a media session, Salman Khan said that many people from his country come to Saudi Arabia, as well as people from Balochistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
His comment quickly went viral and drew strong criticism from Pakistani social media users. Many said that just as people come from India, Khalistan, and Afghanistan, the same way others also come from their regions.
Social media users criticized Salman Khan for not mentioning India in his statement and for referring to Balochistan and Pakistan as separate countries. Some said it was a slip of the tongue or lack of knowledge, while others called it a politically sensitive issue.
On the other hand, many of his fans defended him, saying he was simply talking about South Asian workers in general and had no intention of separating any country or region. However, the topic is still being widely discussed on social media.
