Bollywood superstar Salman Khan recently addressed rumors surrounding his control of careers in the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19. The discussion arose when actress Shehnaaz Gill appeared as a special guest in support of her brother Shehbaz Badesha, who was entering the Bigg Boss house as a wild-card contestant.
Shehnaaz approached the stage to plead for help from Salman, and said, “Sir, give him some work. He has waited seven years to be on the show.” She also mentioned that Salman is known to make careers. However, the superstar was quick to deflect the idea that he controls people’s careers.
“I’m Not Responsible For Making Or Breaking Careers”
Reacting to Shehnaaz’s statements, Salman firmly said that he is not accountable for anyone’s success or failure. “They’ve accused me of suppressing so many people, especially those who got suppressed. That was never in my hands,” he explained. The actor added that in today’s environment, rumors circulate that someone’s career might be ruined by others. He clarified, “Which career have I finished? If I ever had to, I’d rather finish my own career because sometimes I become complacent.”
