Rakhi Sawant, who has been a vocal supporter of Salman Khan, has hit back hard at filmmaker Abhinav Kashyap after he made critical remarks about Salman and his family. In a recent interview, Rakhi used blunt words to defend Salman and dismissed Abhinav’s claims as lies and money-driven mudslinging.
“Tujhe chappal se maaroongi”
Rakhi did not mince words. She told Hindi Rush, “Tu jidhar bhi mila takle, tujhe chappal se maaroongi. Koi to Dabangg film mein director liya tha usko. Pata nahi kaun hai wo, hum to naam nahi lenge. Meri juban kharab nahi karoongi us takle ka naam lekar.” (Wherever I find you, baldie, I’ll thrash you with a slipper. Someone once gave him a director’s job in a Dabangg film. I don’t even know who he is; I won’t name him. I won’t ruin my tongue by saying that bald man’s name.)
“Jeete ji dharti pe devta hai wo”
Defending Salman, Rakhi said, “Bhai (Salman) ko na kissing pasand hai, na kissing scene pasand hai. Jeete ji dharti pe devta hai wo.” (Bhai (Salman) doesn’t like kissing or kissing scenes. Alive, he is like a god on this earth.)She accused Abhinav of body-shaming and spreading filthy allegations: “Abhi media mein aakar ganda-ganda bol raha hai, unke parivaar ke baare mein… jhooth bolta hai.” (Now he goes to the media and speaks filth about Salman’s family… he lies.)
Accusations of misconduct and money motives
Rakhi alleged Abhinav had behaved badly on set, “Ladkibazi shuru kar diya tha usne” (He started womanising), and claimed he was removed from a project for wasting Salman’s money. She also suggested that “Salman ke dushman” (Salman’s enemies) might have paid Abhinav to speak against the star.Rakhi underlined her devotion with dramatic flair. She said she respects Salman like no one else and even declared, “Main Salman ke saath apni gardan bhi katwa sakti hoon.” (I would even get my neck cut for Salman.)She added that Salman often helps people who don’t have work, implying that gratitude and respect should follow, not unfounded attacks.
