"To say that Salman Khan was responsible is as ridiculous as saying, Pakistan sent cyclone Nisarga to India, or Shah Rukh Khan was responsible for Rajput revolt against ‘Padmavat’. It’s a wonder that body is blaming Salman for Deepika Padukone’s mental depression. negative voices must understand, like rest of actor-producers, Salman is in business of selling dreams by making and acting in films. It’s absolutely patic to baselessly drag his name into a suicide case. Had this happened in USA, Salman could have filed a defamation suit of hundreds of millions of dollars against perpetrators of falsehood and lies uttered with ulterior motives. Shame on yellow journalism for propagating ory."
