‘This is a Colonel’s look’
Actor Salman Khan has brushed aside online criticism surrounding his look from the upcoming film Battle of Galwan, saying that he is portraying the role of a Colonel and the appearance reflects the character’s responsibility of motivating and leading his men.
A video shared by a fan account on X showed the actor attending the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL) event in Surat on Friday evening.
In the clip, the 60-year-old was seen interacting with former cricketer and commentator Mohammad Kaif, who playfully asked him to recreate his pose from the movie’s first teaser that was unveiled on Khan’s birthday last month.
Khan struck the pose and then addressed the criticism with humour.
“Ab kisi ko ye samajh mein aata hai ki ye romantic look hai, lekin Colonel hoon bhaiya. Aur ye Colonel ka look hai, jo ki samajhta hai ki apne team waloon ko, apne jawanon ko kaise hausla dena hai (Now, some people might think this is a romantic look, but I’m playing a Colonel. And this is the look of a Colonel, someone who understands how to motivate his team, his soldiers’, he said. He then let out a roar and added, “Iss sabka koi matlab hai nahi, iss look ka koi matlab hai nahi. Toh aise hi chalta aaya hai aur aise hi chalta rahega, aap sabki dua se’. (PTI)
