SHOCKING: Salman Khan says Sanjay Leela Bhansali has offended him

Enough has been spoken about Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’ which has been in the storm of the eye from the beginning of the year. However, not many B-Town celebs have come ahead to speak up on the issue. Today, once again, at the HT Leadership Summit, actor Salman Khan spoke about the controversy unabashedly.

He said, “One, I don’t think it’s fair to hurt anyone’s sentiments, secondly, it is not fair that without seeing a film to comment on that. Now, the Censor Board will give a certificate and we will go by the certificate.” On being asked whether Sanjay Leela Bhansali has a track record of offending people’s sensibilities (in the context of his previous films), Salman quickly replied, “I don’t know about other people, but he definitely has offended me. I gave him two hit films and he took Shah Rukh Khan in the next one.” (Also Read: Padmavati: MP Anurag Thakur states the REAL reason why Sanjay Leela Bhansali has been summoned to Delhi)

He also spoke about dealing with failures in life. Said Salman, “To deal with failure is difficult but from where I come, everything for me is plus. As a child someone had told me that if I earn Rs 10 lakh, then monthly you will earn Rs 2000. So the mission of my life was Rs 10 lakh. I crossed that in my second film. So, today whatever I am, I’m blessed. Also, when you are low, you feel sometimes like why you have been targeted.”

He further said, “I have got the most amazing life. Parents are doing hale and hearty, siblings are doing well, fans love us, so we are blessed. If all of this disappears, of course I will be hurt, but the life that we have all seen, I don’t think even 98% of the population of this country has seen this kind of lifestyle. So, I think we should enjoy.”

Truer words have not been spoken. We are sure Bhansali would be glad on hearing Salman’s views.
