Quotes

Salman Khan

Actor and Bigg Boss host criticizing online trolling

“Suddenly, everyone starts talking about age, saying someone has gotten old. What do you want to troll someone for? Their weight, their looks, their family, their smile, a career flop or becoming a mother? You are merely revealing your own upbringing.”

“However, there are also artists who actually want people to make videos or take photos of them. So, it takes two to tango; both sides need to exercise some control over this.”
