Year: 2025

Salman Khan, one of Bollywoods biggest stars, has often found himself at the centre of industry debates, but his colleagues and co-stars frequently vouch for his generosity both on and off screen. Recently, actor Ranvir Shorey, who shared screen space with Salman in Ek Tha Tiger and its sequel Tiger 3, spoke highly of the superstar, rejecting filmmaker Abhinav Kashyaps claims that Salman and his family are vindictive. In a candid interview, Shorey was asked about Kashyaps past remarks, where the Dabangg director had accused the Khan family of being harmful to his career. Without mincing words, Shorey distanced himself from that opinion. Ye woh unka koi personal grudge hoga, mera to kaafi accha hai. Hes very generous human being, generous co-actor. Unki family, Salim sahab ki mai bahot izzat karta hoon, unke jo dono bhai hai unko bhi mai bahot pasand karta hoon, theyre gentlemen. Main to nahi, unka koi personal hoga, aur, mai ye nahi keh raha hoon ki kisi ka kisi ke saath personal nahi hona chahiye, mera bhi kai logon ke saath personal hai, but mai ittefaq nahi rakhta (That must be his personal grudge. My experience with Salman has been very good hes a generous human being, a generous co-actor. I deeply respect Salim saab, and I really like both his brothers as well theyre gentlemen. Maybe Abhinav has a personal issue, and Im not saying people cant have personal differences. Even I have them with some people. But in this case, I dont agree with him), he explained. By praising Salmans generosity and integrity, Shorey not only refuted Kashyaps allegations but also underlined the positive equation he personally shares with the Khan family. He made it clear that while personal conflicts are common in the industry, they do not define everyones experience. Interestingly, Salman himself had once backed Abhinav Kashyap by giving him the directorial reins of Dabangg (2010), the film that catapulted Kashyap into fame and remains one of Bollywoods most successful franchises. Despite that, the filmmaker has often spoken out against Salman, leaving many confused about his stance. Shoreys remarks, however, add another perspective to the conversation. For him, Salman is not just a superstar but also a generous co-actor who uplifts those around him. His comments echo what many insiders have long maintained that Salman Khans reputation as someone who helps others quietly is as significant as his stardom. With Shoreys testimony, the debate around Salmans industry image gains yet another layer, but for his co-stars, the verdict seems unanimous: generosity defines him more than anything else.
