Why is Salman Khan getting so much hate?

Salman Khan found himself at the center of controversy on Sunday after posting, then deleting, a tweet that said, “Thank God for the ceasefire…”

The tweet, while brief, triggered swift backlash across social media. Critics accused the superstar of showing selective concern —speaking up only when a ceasefire was announced, but staying silent on the massacre in Kashmir that claimed innocent lives. Many alleged the tweet prioritised diplomacy over national grief, and screenshots of the deleted post spread rapidly even after Khan removed it.

However, a section of the people questioned Salman's silence over Operation Sindoor. A tweet read, "No tweets about Operation Sindoor. Why?" A person wrote, "You didn't say anything about India's Operation Sindoor against Pakistan."

Innocent people being targeted, my heart goes out to their families. Ek bhi innocent ko marna puri kainath ko marne ke barabar hai (Killing one innocent person is similar to killing the entire universe).
