Salman Khan has once again found himself at the centre of online trolling after making a surprising confession about his approach to films. The Bollywood superstar recently revealed that he has never read a script in his entire life, and the statement quickly went viral across social media platforms. While some fans found the comment amusing, many users linked it to the actor’s recent string of underperforming films and brutally mocked him online.
The viral moment came from a conversation shared by Variety India. In it, Salman Khan openly admitted, “I have never read a script in my entire life. I have written them, but I have never read them.” The actor’s statement shocked many viewers because he has been part of the film industry for over three decades and has delivered several blockbuster hits during his career.
Interestingly, Salman Khan also holds writing credits for films such as Veer, Baaghi and Dabangg 3. In the same interaction, he casually joked about his luxury watches and said, “You see me wearing watches; that doesn’t mean that those watches are mine. Either it belongs to one friend or another.”
Salman Khan Gets Brutally Trolled Online
Soon after the clip surfaced online, social media users flooded the comments section with reactions. Many netizens sarcastically connected Salman Khan’s confession to the recent box office performance of his films.
DON'T MISS
One user commented, “We know.” Another wrote, “Shocking.”
A third social media user mocked the actor by saying, “Toh iss liye movies flop ho rahi he bhai ki.”
Another comment read, “Bhai ko paisa bas dekhna hota tabhi sari movie bina script dekhe flop kar de rahe.”
One more user harshly wrote, “Bhai anpadh hai.”
The trolling comes at a time when Salman Khan has been facing criticism for his recent film choices and declining box office success. While the actor still commands a massive fan base, many viewers believe his films now rely more on stardom than strong storytelling.
When AR Murugadoss Opened Up About Sikandar Problems
Salman Khan’s last full-fledged release was AR Murugadoss’s Sikandar, which failed to perform as expected at the box office. After the film’s disappointing run, Murugadoss spoke openly about the difficulties faced during production.
Speaking on Valaipechu Voice, the director said, “It’s not easy to shoot with a star. Even day scenes, we had to shoot at night because he turned up to sets only by 8 PM. We are people who are used to shooting from early mornings, but that’s not how things work there.”
He further added, “On top of that, multiple people used to suggest a lot of spot changes on the set in the script.”
Salman Khan Defended Sikandar
Salman Khan later addressed the criticism during an episode of Bigg Boss. Responding to comedian Ravi Gupta’s question about films he regrets doing, Salman defended Sikandar and said, “Nayi mein se koi nahi hai… log kehte hain Sikandar par main nahi manta, uska plot bahut acha tha.”
The actor also reacted to Murugadoss’s remarks regarding his late arrival on set. Salman explained, “Lekin kya hai na, main set pe raat ke 9 baje pahuchta tha, toh usme gadbad ho gayi. Meri pasaliyan tooti thi.”
Taking a subtle dig at Murugadoss’s recent release Madharaasi, Salman added with a smile, “Madharaasi karke picture unhone direct ki hai jo ki release hui, bahut badi film hai aur utni hi badi… Sikandar se badi blockbuster.”
Salman’s Upcoming Films
Despite the online criticism, Salman Khan remains one of Bollywood’s biggest stars. He will next appear in Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, though the release date has not yet been announced.
The actor has also started shooting for a new action entertainer with director Vamshi Paidipally and producer Dil Raju. Actress Nayanthara will play the female lead opposite him.
