Police complaint filed against Salman and Shilpa over their ‘Bhangi’ comment

Salman Khan is no stranger when it comes to controversies. And now, the actor has landed himself in a fresh one. Rajasthan saw massive protests with members of the Valmiki community disrupting the morning shows of his new release ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’. The reason behind this protest was against the alleged use of an improper word by Salman during a promotional event. Recently, a clip went viral on the internet where the superstar said in a talk show that he does not do certain dance steps if they “make him look like a Bhangi”.

Apart from him, Shilpa Shetty Kundra too in an unrelated clip is seen telling a journalist when quizzed about her look when she is at home, she said, “I look like a Bhangi…” These comments met with the ire of the Valmiki community and today there’s a latest update. A police complaint has been lodged against the actors. (Also Read: EXCLUSIVE: Did Salman make kids wait for hours at a dance reality show? Details inside)
