Rakhi Sawant has launched a scathing attack on filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap, defending Salman Khan against recent allegations made by Kashyap. Sawant, a vocal supporter of Khan, dismissed Kashyap's claims as "lies and money-driven mudslinging". In a recent interview, Sawant used strong language to defend Khan and accused Kashyap of misbehavior on the sets of Dabangg.
Sawant alleged that Kashyap engaged in "ladkibaazi" (womanizing) while working on Dabangg. She claimed, "Ladkibazi shuru kar diya tha usne" (He started womanising). Sawant further stated that Kashyap was removed from the project for wasting Salman Khan's money. She also insinuated that "Salman ke dushman" (Salman's enemies) might have paid Kashyap to speak against the star.
In an exclusive interview, Sawant didn't hold back, referring to Kashyap as "Takle sahab, Kashyap sahab". She expressed her anger at Kashyap for speaking negatively about Salman Khan and his family. Sawant said she would hit Kashyap with slippers if she ever found him. She also accused him of body-shaming and making false statements about Khan's age, health, and attitude.
Sawant emphasized her unwavering support and respect for Salman Khan, declaring, "Main Salman ke saath apni gardan bhi katwa sakti hoon" (I would even get my neck cut for Salman). She described Khan as a "devta" (god) on Earth, stating that he dislikes kissing scenes and is unlike anyone else in Bollywood. Sawant added that Khan has always helped people in the industry and that Kashyap is making these accusations because he is jobless.
The controversy stems from Abhinav Kashyap's recent remarks criticizing Salman Khan and his family. Kashyap claimed that working with the Khans drained him creatively, alleging that Salman was "controlling" and interfered excessively during the production of Dabangg. He further stated that the Khan family's influence in Bollywood made it difficult for him to find work afterward. These statements quickly gained traction online, leading to heated debates.
Salman Khan subtly responded to Kashyap's allegations on Bigg Boss 19, without directly naming him. He mentioned that some individuals "use others' names to stay relevant" and emphasized the importance of karma.
Rakhi Sawant's outburst adds another layer to the ongoing feud between Salman Khan and Abhinav Kashyap. Her accusations of misconduct and defense of Khan have ignited further discussion and controversy surrounding the situation.
