Salman Khan became the latest celebrity to voice his thoughts about the ongoing farmers' protest against the three farm laws when he was questioned by paparazzi at a recent event about his opinion on the issue. The issue picked up a few days back after pop icon Rihanna and activist Greta Thunberg extended support for the protesting farmers.
Reacting to it, Salman Khan said whatever was the correct thing to do, should be done. He was quoted by Spotboye as saying, "The right thing should be done. The most correct thing should be done. The most noble thing should be done."
Earlier this week, Rihanna had shared a news article on the issue and had written, "Why aren’t we talking about this?! #FarmersProtest." After Rihanna's tweet, several Indian celebrities including Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and cricketers such as Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar had posted on the subject, using the hashtags #IndiaTogether and #IndiaAgainstPropaganda.
This is the first time that Salman opened up about the issue. The actor has essentially been busy shooting for his upcoming project, 'Antim'. The film sees him play a Sikh cop. He is paired opposite Aayush Sharma, the latter playing a negative role in the film.
Salman is all set to release his action-drama 'Radhe' in theatres on the occasion of Eid. Apart from this, he has 'Tiger 3', 'Kick 2', and 'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali'. Speaking about the films, he recently told IANS, "There are three films of mine that are ready for release, and the problem with single-screen theatres is that there are very few films being released over there."
Salman's new film Radhe is directed by Prabhu Deva. The film also features Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda, and Jackie Shroff in pivotal roles.
