New Delhi: Salman Khan recently commented on his rule against women wearing low necklines on his film sets. Salman asserted in an interview that women’s bodies should be covered because they are “more precious.” Also, he stated that male behaviour towards women is to blame.
The co-star of Salman in ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’, Palak Tiwari, revealed that the actor had a dress code for women on the ‘Antim: The Final Truth’ set. She recalled that Salman had said that ‘all the girls should be covered, like good proper girls’. She later added clarification to her statement.
Salman was called out for his “double standard” by host Rajat Sharma during an appearance on the India TV show Aap ki Adalat.
“Jab aap ek decent picture banate ho toh sab jaake dekhte hai pure parivaar ke saath. Koi double standard nahi hai. I think aurato ki jo bodies hai hai woh kahi zada precious hai. (When you make a decent picture everyone goes to watch it with their family. There is no double standard. I think women’s bodies are more precious. So the more covered they are the better it will be I feel),” Salman explained.
“Yeh ladkiyon ka chakkar nahi hai yeh ladko ka chakkar hai. Jis hisaab se ladke ladkiyon ko dekhte hai, aapki behene, aapki biwio ko, aapki maao ko. The problem isn’t with women but with men. The way men stare at women, your sister, your wife, your mother. I don’t like that),” he added.
He continued by saying that when he makes films, he tries to ensure that such men don’t have the opportunity to ‘stare at the heroine’.
On the work front, Salman Khan will be next seen in the action thriller film ‘Tiger 3’ alongside Katrina Kaif. The film is all set to hit the theatres on the occasion of Diwali 2023.
