Salman Khan, renowned for his supportiveness in Bollywood, recently discussed his experience of not receiving shoutouts from the industry, even as he consistently promotes others’ projects. In a reaction to Salman Khan’s remarks, Sunny Deol labeled him as the “most supportive actor in Bollywood” during an interview with Bollywood Bubble. Deol addressed industry unity issues, affirming Salman Khan’s reciprocal nature and magnanimity.
When questioned about the industry’s practice of mutual support through shoutouts, Sunny Deol emphasized that all individuals possess their own communication style, expressing that everyone welcomes positive acknowledgment. He commented, “I mean, I think, and at the end of the day, we are all human beings, right? Har aadmi ka apna-apna dhang hota hai, kaise nahi hai aur har aadmi chahta hai ki uske baare mein koi accha bole ya cheezein chalein.” Despite the perception of a lack of camaraderie, Deol dismissed negativity among actors, reflecting on the sometimes distanced relationships that may arise without harboring ill feelings.
Salman Khan’s response highlighted a discrepancy in industry shoutouts, asserting, “Unko aise lagta hoga ki zarurat nahi padhti mujhe, but sabko zarurat padhti hai.” Khan further exemplified his supportive stance by endorsing an array of films, including Mohanlal’s release, while equally anticipating and celebrating Sunny’s cinematic ventures. Notably, Salman Khan demonstrated camaraderie with a shoutout for Sunny Deol’s film Jaat during Sikandar promotions. In reciprocation, Sunny Deol extended his best wishes on Sikandar’s release day, sharing his encouragement with fans on Instagram.
