Mixed Reactions on Social Media

Salman Khan’s participation in the Ganpati Utsav sparked a range of reactions online. Many fans praised his inclusive spirit. They admired his celebration of the festival. Comments like “There is no one like Bhaijaan” and “Sultan is back” filled his social media.

However, some users expressed criticism. They questioned his celebration of a Hindu festival, given his Muslim background. One user commented, “You are a Muslim only in name.” Another asked, “Is he Muslim or Hindu?” Despite the varied opinions, Salman Khan’s presence clearly made waves.

What’s Next for the Star?

Beyond the festive celebrations, Salman Khan also has an exciting project on his professional horizon. His next film is titled ‘Battle of Galwan’. Apoorva Lakhia is directing the movie. Salman Khan will portray an army officer in the film. The story centers on the 2020 conflict in the Galwan Valley between India and China. It seems the “Dabangg Khan” is ready for another powerful role.
