‘Dabangg 3’: Salman Khan issues clarification over viral ‘Shivling’ pictures from the sets

Superstar Salman Khan is currently shooting for his upcoming film ‘Dabangg 3’s title track in Madhya Pradesh. As soon as the news of the actor’s arrival in MP came out, his die-hard fans reached on his film’s sets to catch a glimpse of the star. Some of his over-enthusiastic fans even leaked a few stills and videos from the sets. One such image of a ‘Shivling’ covered with wooden planks created a controversy and soon it went viral. The actor issued a clarification stating that the ‘Shivling’ was covered with wooden planks to protect and maintain its sanctity.

The actor was shooting for his film’s title track at the banks of river Narmada in Maheshwar. As per a report in PTI, BJP MLA from Huzur in Bhopal district Rameshwar Sharma has said that the pictures show disrespect to Lord Shiva. He is now demanding to file an FIR against those responsible for that incident.

Defending the ‘Dabangg’ Khan, Congress leader and Madhya Pradesh’s Sports and Youth Welfare Minister Jitu Patwari, told PTI, “Salman is such a wonderful actor who always spread the message of religious harmony. But, the BJP’s thinking is full of hatred and this party want to take political advantage by creating enmity among people. The BJP should give up this kind of mindset and stop creating hurdles in the development of the state.”

Salman has finally opened up on the unnecessary controversy. According to some media reports, the actor said that the wooden planks were kept on the ‘Shivling’ to protect it and maintain its sanctity during the shooting of the movie. The planks were later removed. We hope this clarification helps in curbing the outrage.
