Salman Khan Denies Career-Sabotage Allegations on Bigg Boss 19 as Abhinav Kashyap Reignites Feud

The on-air rebuttal reframes a long-simmering dispute as a fresh test of Bollywood’s gatekeeping and star power.

Overview

  • On Bigg Boss 19, Salman Khan rejected claims that he derailed careers, asking, “Kaunsa career khaaya maine?” and saying such power is not in his hands.
  • Abhinav Kashyap, in a SCREEN interview, alleged the Khan family is vindictive and “controls the whole process,” calling Salman a “gunda” uninterested in acting.
  • Kashyap also said his brother Anurag left Tere Naam after clashes with producer Boney Kapoor and was not credited, citing a pattern of industry pressure.
  • The dispute traces back to Dabangg (2010), after which Kashyap did not helm sequels; Dabangg 2 was directed by Arbaaz Khan and Dabangg 3 by Prabhu Deva.
  • Major outlets amplified the new interview, renewing public debate over informal power structures in Bollywood, with no fresh legal actions reported.
